    Glossary Polyquaternium-10

    water-soluble polymer that conditions and smooths hair

    Polyquaternium-10 is a water-soluble polymer commonly used in hair care products like shampoos and conditioners. It acts as a conditioning agent, helping to reduce static and improve the texture and manageability of hair by forming a thin film on the hair shaft. This polymer is particularly valued for its ability to enhance the feel and appearance of hair, making it smoother and easier to comb.
