Products in Cationic Surfactants: Smoothing

STEPANQUAT® Soleil is a modern hair conditioning agent that is better for the hair and the environment thanks to its better ecotoxicity profile compared to btac (behentrimonium chloride) and cetac (cetrimonium chloride). Additionally, stepanquat soleil is readily biodegradable, gmo-free, and derived from local renewable or sustainable feedstock. This product smooths each individual hair strand for super-soft, manageable hair without any build-up effect. It allows for easy combing on both wet and dry hair and possesses great substantivity. It conditions hair as well as or better than market-leading conditioning agents while having a very nice environmental profile.

Merquat™ 2001 polymer is a proprietary, ampholytic terpolymer primarily used in hair care products for its superior wet hair combing and detangling properties. It is recommended for use in shampoos and conditioning rinses where excellent wet and dry conditioning properties are desired.

Merquat™ 2003PR polymer is a proprietary, non-paraben, ampholytic terpolymer developed for use in color protection shampoos. It offers attributes such as ultimate foam stability, color retention after multiple washings, and enhanced wet combability and detangling. It is suitable for use in hair care products, shampoos, and conditioners.

CATION LQ imparts long-lasting smoothness and softness to hair. It performs as a conditioning agent when used in shampoos.CATION LQ is a lanolin-based cationic surfactant containing approx. 65 wt % of N(N'-lanolin fatty acid amide propyl)-N-ethyl-N,N-dimethylammonium ethylsulfate as the active ingredient, and 1,3-butylene glycol and water as solvents. This product has the features of both lanolin and cationic surfactants (e.g., a moisturizing effect, an antistatic property and a tactile property), making it optimal for use as a base in hair conditioners and treatments. It is also suitable for use as the conditioner ingredient in shampoos with built-in conditioners due to its compatibility with anionic surfactants.

CATION DSV is easily adsorbed in hair because it has high molecular weight, and imparts smoothness to hair.

ZETEMULS HC PLUS is PEG-free ready-to-use cationic emulsifier that shows excellent performance on the hair; thanks to its cationic component, is able to enhance combing and smoothness properties, recovering the hair after anionic surfactant treatment. An additional booster effect is given by Myristyl Lactate that, increasing the lubricity, helps the comb to slice across the tress.

CosmeGreen™ ES1822+ is a 100% biosourced, cationic surfactant system with superior smoothing, strengthening, color retention and detangling benefits.

Silquat®Di-30-F4D is a silicone quaternary compound for use as a conditioning and cleansing agent for hair and skin care products.

Silquat® 4016 is a solution of a synergistic blend of a high molecular weight water soluble silicone quaternary ammonium compound and cetyltrimethylammonium chloride.

Kalhygienic Skin is an innovative patented cosmetic ingredient that introduces the concept of “Cosmetic vs Pandemic” in skin care applications bringing the skin bioprotection until 4-5 hours. The specialty is composed of biomimetic hydroxyapatite functionalized with a cationic surfactant with proven hygienizing features, active against several species of micro-organisms, including bacteria and viruses (eg. Coronavirus and Influenza strains). The hydroxyapatite works as skin pH dependent delivery system for the hygienizing surfactant and promotes several beneficial actions to the skin.

AMISAFE® LL-DS-22 is an amino acid based texture modifier derived from L-Lysine, Lauric acid and Sebacic acid. The uniqueness of AMISAFE® LL-DS-22 is originated from its geminitype surfactant chemical structure and properties as a hydrogelator. In foaming cleansing products AMISAFE® LL-DS-22 functions as a foam booster and imparts characterstic silky smoothness to dry skin and hair.

TETRANYL® CO-40 is a cationic surfactant - esterquat - which provides conditioning, smoothing and improve anti-static properties of the hair. Its liquid appearance at room temperature allows to obtain final formulas without heating during the process.

Capillus™ Pro 22 is an amazonian cationic surfactant, the result of the synergy between natural ingredients and the transformation technology for maximum performance. This ingredient combines the benefits of conditioning and application of amido amines and the natural efficacy of the pracaxi oil (rich in behenic acid). Capilus has a cationic character in low pH and can be used in hair care formulations due to the characteristic pH of these formulations. This ingredient can be used in hair conditioning and treatment products, such as conditioners, treatment creams, hair masks, combing creams, leave-in, and others. Its conditioning and high shine effect is due to the feature of adhesion in negatively charged surfaces, like the hair surface.
