Polyquaternium 7 is a highly charged cationic copolymer. It is particularly compatible with surfactant systems and recommended for all foaming formulations where it increases viscosity and stabilizes foam.
In shampoos, it brings conditioning, anti-static properties as well as adds lustre to hair without any build-up.
In body washes it produces a clear formulation, provides conditioning properties and a soft after-feel to the skin together with moisturizing effects.
It is an invaluable multi-functional component in cosmetics and toiletries, and thus is one of the most widely produced cationic polymers in the cosmetic industry.
