Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose

Product Description

Our Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate is a premium cationic derivative of hyaluronic acid, manufactured in our advanced facility to ensure consistent high purity and superior performance. Engineered through a specialized quaternization process, this "adsorptive" hyaluronic acid carries a positive charge that allows it to electrostatically cling to negatively charged skin and hair surfaces, resisting rinse-off even in wash-away formulations. As the market shifts toward "skin-cationic" technology, this ingredient offers formulators a high-value solution for creating products that deliver 24-hour moisture retention and enhanced barrier integrity.

• Origin: Direct Factory Supply (Biotechnological Fermentation & Chemical Modification)

Key Benefits & Applications

• Electrostatic Dermal Adhesion: The cationic nature ensures the molecule clings to the skin's surface, providing hydration that persists after cleansing or rinsing.
• Transdermal Moisture Retention: Forms a breathable, non-tacky film that significantly reduces Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) and maintains skin plumpness.
• Barrier Lipid Support: Clinically-oriented functionality that supports the proteins and lipids essential for a robust stratum corneum barrier.
• Hair Conditioning & Repair: Effectively adsorbs onto damaged hair cuticles, providing intense hydration and reducing static without weighing hair down.
• Wash-off Efficiency: Ideal for facial cleansers, body washes, and shampoos where traditional hyaluronic acid would normally be washed away.

Formulation Guidelines

• Recommended Usage: 0.1% – 2.0% depending on the desired intensity of hydration.
• Optimal pH Range: Stable and most effective within pH 5.0 – 7.0; adjust pH after incorporation.
• Processing: Gradually hydrate in the water phase with stirring to avoid clumping; heat stable up to 80°C.
• Compatibility: Excellent compatibility with most non-ionic and cationic surfactants; perform compatibility tests when using high concentrations of anionic thickeners.
• Synergy: Combine with Sodium Hyaluronate for multi-level hydration spanning from the skin surface to deeper epidermal layers.
