Select a conditioning polymer for shampoos, rinse-off cleansers or hair treatments.
Start with Polyquaternium-7 or Polyquaternium-10 as candidates for conditioning shampoos. Compare wet combing, foam and clarity in the finished surfactant base. Assess Polyquaternium-6 if wet slip is an important target.
View Shampoos and hair cleansingScreen Polyquaternium-7 or Polyquaternium-39 alongside an untreated control. Assess rinse feel, foam, viscosity and clarity in the finished base.
View Body washes and rinse-off cleansersConsider Polyquaternium-6 for slip and Polyquaternium-10 for conditioning or deposition. Compare Polyquaternium-22 and Polyquaternium-39 where an amphoteric polymer is of interest. Evaluate at the intended finished pH.
