DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.

"Poloxamines" refers to a subgroup of poloxamers (see poloxamers below). Like the poloxamers, poloxamines are block polymers that are structurally composed of an ethylenediamine core whose amino groups are substituted with copolymers of polyoxyethylene and polyoxypropylene blocks of variable length. These are non-ionic surfactants.

Poloxamine 1101 is used in cosmetic formulations. Poloxamine 1101 acts as an emulsifier (surface-active substance that is used in cosmetic products as an additive to combine two immiscible liquids - e.g. oil and water - to form an emulsion).
