Harnessing the Power of Cationic Cellulose: Polyquaternium-10 for Skin and Hair
At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we are dedicated to providing innovative ingredients that enhance personal care formulations. Polyquaternium-10, a type of cationic cellulose, stands out for its remarkable substantivity to both hair and skin, offering a unique blend of conditioning and protective properties. This ingredient is instrumental in developing products that provide a gentle yet effective experience for the end-user, contributing to a luxurious feel and noticeable improvements in hair and skin texture.
The substantivity of Polyquaternium-10 refers to its ability to adhere to surfaces like hair and skin. This adhesion is due to its positive charge, which allows it to bind with the negatively charged surfaces of keratin, the protein that makes up hair and skin. For hair, this means that the conditioning benefits—such as improved combability, reduced breakage, and enhanced shine—remain even after rinsing. This long-lasting effect is a key differentiator for products formulated with Polyquaternium-10.
Similarly, on the skin, this substantivity translates into a smooth, soft, and conditioned feel. Unlike some traditional ingredients that might wash away easily, Polyquaternium-10 forms a thin, protective film that moisturizes and soothes the skin. This makes it an ideal ingredient for body washes, facial cleansers, and lotions, where a pleasant skin feel is paramount. The non-tacky nature of the film ensures comfort and wearability, making it a preferred choice for daily use products.
Manufacturers seeking to purchase Polyquaternium-10 will find that NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. offers this ingredient with a commitment to quality and performance.
