Description

Polyquaternium-6 is a cationic conditioning polymer used in hair and skin care formulations to improve softness, manageability, and anti-static performance. It forms a light, flexible film on hair and skin that enhances slip, smoothness, and moisture retention without heaviness or buildup.

It is widely used in shampoos, conditioners, cleansers, liquid soaps, body washes, and leave-in sprays because it remains effective even in rinse-off systems and works well alongside surfactants.

  • Reduces static and frizz

  • Enhances foam quality in cleansers

  • Provides light conditioning without buildup

  • Improves skin and hair feel


Recommended Applications

Shampoos • Conditioners • Body washes • Facial cleansers • Liquid soaps • Leave-in sprays • Styling products.
