Poloxamines belong to a chemical group of so-called block copolymers, which are used as non-ionic surfactants and emulsifiers. They are contained in cosmetics and care products. They can also be contained in drugs.
Structurally, poloxamines are composed of an ethylenediamine core whose amino groups are substituted with copolymers of polyoxyethylene and polyoxypropylene blocks of variable length (length is defined by the number in the name).
Representative: Poloxamine 304 to polaxamine 1508
