Quartamin AB 1 kg

Quartamin AB emulsifier for controlled textures and conditioning formulations

Quartamin AB is a cationic emulsifier of technological grade used in hair and skin care formulations where stable emulsions and a smoothing sensory effect are required. The ingredient simplifies formulation design by creating a uniform cream texture and consistent phase distribution. Quartamin AB shows predictable behavior during heating and cooling, supporting reproducibility in serial manufacturing.

The raw material is selected for formulations focused on stability and controlled sensory performance.

Properties and sensory outcome for skin and hair

Quartamin AB delivers a soft and smooth feel immediately after application. In hair care products it helps level the hair surface, improving visual structure and neat appearance. Hair appears more polished with a balanced sheen.

In skin care systems the emulsifier provides comfortable texture, even spreading and a pleasant after feel without heaviness.

Application across industries

Quartamin AB is used in hair conditioners, masks and balms, body creams and emulsions, as well as professional care formulations. It is suitable for private label projects, contract manufacturing and industrial scale production. The ingredient is chosen where texture stability and conditioning performance are essential.

Recipe for a creamy conditioner with Quartamin AB

Purified water 75 ml
Quartamin AB 6 g
Jojoba oil 10 ml
Cetearyl alcohol 3 g
Preservative system 1 ml

Quartamin AB is added to purified water and heated with continuous mixing until a uniform aqueous phase is formed. Cetearyl alcohol is melted separately and combined with jojoba oil. The oil phase is gradually introduced into the aqueous phase under constant mixing to form a creamy texture. After cooling, the preservative system is incorporated and mixed until fully stabilized.

Quartamin AB is intended for B2B use and the development of conditioning products with controlled texture and reproducible results.
