How to Use Polyquaternium-10 for Optimal Hair and Skin Results
For formulators aiming to harness the full potential of Polyquaternium-10, understanding its proper incorporation into cosmetic products is essential. As a leading manufacturer and supplier of high-quality cosmetic raw materials, we provide guidance to ensure our clients achieve optimal results. Whether you're developing a new shampoo, conditioner, or skin cleanser, following the recommended usage methods for Polyquaternium-10 is key.
Polyquaternium-10 is typically recommended to be added during the high-temperature phase of the formulation process. This means that as your water-based ingredients are heated, Polyquaternium-10 is gradually introduced and mixed thoroughly. It's crucial to ensure good dispersion to prevent clumping and to achieve a homogeneous mixture. The goal is to allow the polymer to fully hydrate and dissolve, forming a stable solution that can then be incorporated into the main batch. We advise adding it while stirring to facilitate even distribution and activation of its conditioning properties.
The concentration of Polyquaternium-10 used will depend on the specific product and desired effect. Generally, it's used at levels ranging from 0.5% to 5%, but always refer to product-specific guidelines or consult with your supplier for precise recommendations. For instance, in hair conditioners, it might be used at a higher concentration to provide significant detangling and smoothing. In facial cleansers, a lower percentage might be sufficient to impart a pleasing skin feel and mild conditioning. We provide detailed usage recommendations with our product to help you fine-tune your formulations.
