Title: High Performance, Natural Conditioning Agent for Haircare

Language: English

Abstract:

Cationic conditioners deposit positively charged conditioning agents onto the negatively charged hair shaft providing increased softness and manageability. Commonly these are synthetic compounds, but the cosmetic market is in need of natural solutions.

During this Innovation seminar, we would like to introduce a natural solution for modern haircare products with QT-Green.

Benefits for the formulator? An easy-to-use ingredient with following characteristics: water-soluble, cold processable, odorless and suitable for transparent formulations.

The measurable performances of QT-Green, depending on the usage, will vary from anti-static to real conditioning agent, increasing the moisture of hair and scalp.

At the same time, has been demonstrated that QT-Green increases the viscosity of a formulation in a similar way as Behentrimonium and Cetrimonium chloride.
While adding QT-Green the foam quality and stability will be considerably improved (ross-miles test).
An allrounder that shows measurable benefits on wet as well as dry hair. We would like to present the combability tests, shine evidence, softness panel results during the seminar.

All these features are available in one ingredient derived from nature, palm-free, readily biodegradable (OECD), China-compliant with an ISO 16128 of 1.

Connect Chemicals would like to conclude this presentation by showing some of the many formulation guidelines we have developed using this multi-functional & modern ingredient.
