Polyquaternium 22 50 ml

Polyquaternium 22 cationic polymer for hair conditioning and surfactant system stabilization

Polyquaternium 22 is a cationic polymer functional ingredient widely used in hair and skin care systems within cosmetic formulation and industrial manufacturing. This raw material belongs to conditioning polymers applied in surfactant based systems where improved product distribution reduced static effect and enhanced formulation stability are required. Polyquaternium 22 integrates into aqueous and gel systems providing compatibility with mild surfactants active ingredients botanical extracts and moisturizing components. In manufacturing it is used as a component that supports formulation stability and reproducibility.

Properties and functional role

Polyquaternium 22 acts as a cationic functional ingredient interacting with hair surface. It performs as a stabilizer and rheology modifier improving distribution and ensuring even application.

Properties and result

Formulations become smoother more stable and controlled texture improves and product distribution becomes more uniform. Stability during storage and transport is maintained.

Purpose

Used to improve conditioning performance stabilize surfactant systems and control rheology in formulation.

Application

Primary segment is hair care and contract manufacturing. Polyquaternium 22 is used in shampoos conditioners masks gels sprays serums and skin care products SPA systems and industrial formulation.
