Ingredients Details
Polyquaternium-7
Common Name(s): Polyquaternium-7,cationic conditioning polymer,substantive film-former
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Deposits a conditioning film on hair and skin through electrostatic attraction to negative cuticle/corneocyte surfaces, reduces hair-on-hair friction for improved combability and detangling, eliminates static charge buildup, and provides anti-frizz humidity resistance.
Why It's Used: Cationic polymers are the primary hair conditioning technology — the permanent positive quaternary ammonium groups provide substantive deposition that resists rinsing, delivering persistent conditioning between washes unlike small-molecule cationic conditioners.
How It Works: At shampoo/conditioner ph 4.5–5.5, hair cuticle carries net negative charge (isoelectric point ph ~3.5). polyquaternium cations undergo electrostatic attraction depositing on the cuticle surface. during rinsing, the deposited polymer film persists from reduced surface-solution equilibrium at low bulk concentration — substantive deposition from favourable interfacial versus bulk partitioning.
Typically Found In: Shampoos,conditioners,leave-in products
