- Necon LO is a novel cosmetic ingredient with a wide array of applications in numerous skin and hair preparations in the cosmetic arena. Necon LO appears to possess excellent spreading characteristics on the skin and hair. The positively charged nitrogen in the molecule cationically afffixes itself to skin and/or hair forming a monomolecular layer on the substrate. The long lipophilic chain appears to form a barrier which reduces loss of moisture. It tends to soften both the skin and hair and is quite difficult to remove even with repeated soap washing. Hair treated with Necon LO becomes extremely soft and manageable. Another characteristic of Necon LO that is of importance and use to the cosmetic industry is the sheen and luster it imparts to hair. Since it is cationic, it is very substantitve to skin and hair. It is especially helpful in detangling and fly-away hair, and it leaves it soft and manageable. Some of the commonly recommended applications for this product include creams, lotions, hair care products such as shampoos and hair conditioners, shaving creams, preelectric shave lotions, liquid soaps and soap bars.
