    Glossary Polyquaternium

    positively charged polymer used in hair care products

    Polyquaternium is a term used to describe a group of synthetic polymers that are commonly used in hair care products like shampoos and conditioners. These polymers are positively charged, which allows them to bond with the negatively charged hair strands, providing benefits such as improved moisture retention, reduced static, and enhanced smoothness and shine.
