E Polylysine
Epsilon Polylysine
Epsilon Polylysine Introduction
Epsilon Polylysine is a naturally produced, cationic homopolymer of 25-30 L-lysine(due to Streptomyces albulus fermentation.), which was connected by ε-amido bond compounded by a e-amido of l-lysine and a e-carboxyl of another l-lysine.
Characteristics
◆Various functions: Polylysine molecules are cationic, surface active agents in water due to their positively charged amino groups. This property imports many benefits when used as an ingredient in cosmetics.
◆Very safe.
◆Easy to use: readily soluble in water, highly heat-stable and useable over a wide pH range (5-8).
