Substantivity Agents
Category overviewSubstantivity agents appear as water-soluble or oil-dispersible conditioning ingredients. Key features include improved longevity of actives, enhanced moisture retention, and resistance to wash-off, making them ideal for long-wear cosmetics, hair masks, and sun care products.
Popular INCI ingredients in this segment include Polyquaternium-10, Hydrolyzed Proteins, and Cationic Guar Gum. Trends show substantivity agents being incorporated into barrier-focused and wear-resistant formulations. Regulatory considerations revolve around ensuring mildness and optimal skin compatibility.

Hair Care: Gentle-Scalp Hair Relaxer
by Floratech (Cargill)
This product is specially formulated to reduce scalp damage and hair breakage, while chemically straightening the hair. Floraesters K-100 Jojoba is a botanically-derived substantive ingredient which, when combined with glycerin, helps to hold moisture in the hair. The combination of Floraesters 20 Jojoba and Floraesters 30 provides emolliency and occlusivity that protects the hair from breakage and reduces the damaging effect of relaxer actives on the scalp while leaving the hair smooth, soft, and silky. (Base should be used in combination with the Activator prior to hair application. The weight use ratio of Base to Activator is 3:1.)

residue. Glucamate SSE-20 and Glucamate DOE-120 and the surfactant work
gently to dissolve makeup. Glucam P-10, a water soluble emollient, and
BIOCARE™ Polymer BHA-10, a substantive humectant, leave the delicate tissue
around the eye moisturized and conditioned. Suitable to use with pads.
