Silsense® Q-Plus Silicone is a 100% active, quaternary silicone compound that combines the conditioning benefits of traditional silicones and cationic quaternary compounds in a single molecule. SilSense Q-Plus silicone will add conditioning benefits to personal care products without the stability concerns that may be present with silicones or the irritancy that is often associated with quaternary ammonium compounds. Unlike traditional silicones, this silicone quarternary compound does not defoam and can even enhance foaming when used in hair care products. It is water-soluble, lending to enhanced ease-of-use in a wide range of shampoos, conditioners, and personal cleansers.
