Hydroxypropyl Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride

Product Description

Our Hydroxypropyl Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride is a high-performance, cationic modified polymer derived from natural guar gum, optimized for professional B2B cosmetic formulations. This multifunctional ingredient functions as a potent conditioning agent and deposition aid, utilizing its positive charge density to neutralize the negative charge of damaged hair and skin surfaces. As the market trends toward "skinification of hair," our factory-direct supply ensures a high-purity ingredient that provides exceptional detangling, anti-static properties, and a luxurious, silky after-feel in premium personal care products.

Key Benefits & Applications

• Advanced Conditioning: Provides superior wet and dry combability, significantly reducing hair breakage and surface friction.
• Active Deposition: Acts as a high-efficiency carrier, enhancing the deposition of silicones and anti-dandruff agents onto the scalp and hair fibers.
• Anti-Static Effect: Neutralizes static charges to eliminate frizz and flyaways, ensuring a smooth and manageable hair texture.
• Foam Enhancement: Improves the stability and creaminess of surfactant-based foams, creating a more luxurious washing experience.
• Versatile Applications: Primarily used in 2-in-1 conditioning shampoos, intensive hair masks, transparent body washes, and shaving creams.

Formulation Guidelines

• Recommended Usage: 0.1% – 0.5% for general conditioning; up to 1.0% for intensive repair treatments.
• Processing: Disperse in water under high agitation. Once fully dispersed, adjust the pH to below 7.0 (using citric acid) to trigger rapid hydration and viscosity development.
• Compatibility: Highly compatible with anionic surfactants, forming a coacervate complex that is essential for the "2-in-1" effect.
• Synergy: Combine with Squalane to deliver high-performance emolliency and weightless shine, providing a sustainable, plant-based alternative to traditional silicones.
