Polyquaternium 7 (Water-Soluble Conditioning Agent)

Polyquaternium-7 is a water-soluble polymer that is commonly used in hair and skin care products. This highly charged cationic copolymer, made from diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride and acrylamide, is a conditioning agent that enhances the shine, softness, and conditioning of hair care products. Its ability to enhance texture, manageability, and shine in hair care, along with its conditioning effects in cosmetic products, makes it a popular choice among hair product creators.

Polyquaternium-7 conditioning agent is great for use in shampoos, shower gels, spray on, leave in hair conditioners, and acts as a good detangling agent, providing slip for easier wet-combing. Polyquaternium 7 liquid is compatible with most surfactant systems. Used for bath/shower gel formulation, 2-in-1 products, shampoos and rinse off conditioners.

Key Features of Polyquaternium-7:

• Enhanced Formulation Compatibility: Specially designed for excellent clarity and compatibility in anionic surfactant systems.
• Skin Care Benefits: Offers lubricity and film-forming properties, improving hydration and reducing irritation, while helping to disperse other functional ingredients evenly.
• Usage: Ideal for use in hair care (shampoos, conditioners), skin care, shave creams, liquid and bar soaps, bath products, lip care, and deodorants.
• Protective Barrier Formation: Forms a thin, protective film on hair and skin surfaces, guarding against environmental pollutants.
• Conditioning Agent: Acts as an effective conditioner for both hair and skin, enhancing softness and manageability.
• High Compatibility: Works well with most surfactant systems, ensuring ease of use in a variety of product formulations.
• Suggested Use Levels: Effective at typical use levels of 0.5% to 5% (copolymer solids), with higher concentrations suitable for hair gels, mousses, setting lotions, and more.
