What is POLYQUATERNIUM-67 used for?

  • Skin care: It can be used to enhance deposition of occlusive moisturizers (e.g., sunflower seed oil, petrolatum, etc.), sunscreen, fragrance, and other actives to the skin from cleansing formulations, such as body washes or facial cleansers. It is used as a dispersing agent in makeup products and sunscreens.
  • Hair care: It is mostly used as an antistatic to reduce static electricity by neutralizing the electrical charge on the surface of hair. As a film forming agent, it produces a continuous film on the hair, making them appear shiny and smooth. It conditions and leaves hair easy to comb, supple, soft and shiny and/or gives volume, lightness and shine. It is used in shampoo, conditioner, hair color and bleaching, hair treatment/serum, hair-loss treatment.
