Name Ingredients:
Polyquarternium is extensively used in hair care products for its conditioning properties. It forms a smooth film over hair strands, reducing static and making hair easier to manage. It also improves moisture retention, shine, and overall hair texture.
Key insights:
- While there are a number of types of polyquaternium compounds, there are a number of key properties that are consistent throughout. Polyquaterniums can:
- Condition hair
- Detangle hair
- Improve manageability
- Reduce static
- Enhancing hair/skin moisture retention
- Forming protective films that promote smoothness and shine
- Those with very sensitive scalps may need to be cautious when using products containing polyquaterniums, as certain types can cause buildup over time, potentially leading to scalp irritation or allergic reaction.
