Science
Mechanism of Action
This ingredient operates as an antistatic agent by neutralizing electrical charges present on surfaces, effectively diminishing static cling. As a typical quaternary ammonium salt, it forms a fine film, which is believed to contribute to its hair conditioning benefits, making hair easier to comb and imparting a sense of volume and lightness. Specific mechanisms regarding its direct interaction or efficacy on skin are not elaborated in the available research.
