POLYQUATERNIUM-110.

Insufficient Data CAS 1323977-82-7 / HAIR CONDITIONING

Polyquaternium-110 is an advanced polymer specifically engineered to impart significant volume and enhance manageability in hair. It achieves these dual benefits through a unique structural transformation observed during the hair drying process, optimizing the hair's physical characteristics.

Hair conditioning Volumizing Detangling

Science

Mechanism of Action

The primary mechanism of action for Polyquaternium-110 is observed exclusively on hair. It functions by depositing via coacervate formation, initially creating lamellar structures that facilitate wet combing and provide a lubricating effect. As hair dries, these lamellar structures undergo a transformation into hexagonal formations, which are responsible for imparting a noticeable volume boost. No specific mechanism of action on the skin has been elucidated.

Key findings

  1. 01 Concentrations between 1-3% are utilized for hair volumization, with 2% generally recommended for Caucasian hair and 3% for Asian hair types.
  2. 02 A 2% concentration incorporated into a European market volume shampoo demonstrated a 40% improvement in volume performance after a 24-hour period.
  3. 03 When co-formulated in a shampoo base with 0.25% Polyquaternium-7, a notable increase in volume performance was observed: 213% after one hour and 48% after 24 hours.
  4. 04 Instrumental evaluations on Caucasian grey hair revealed that formulations containing Polyquaternium-110 led to a 29% increase in volume sustained over 24 hours, alongside more than double the improvement in wet combing compared to an untreated base.
