Science
Mechanism of Action
As a cationic polymer, POLYQUATERNIUM-61 carries a positive charge, enabling it to form a strong ionic bond with the inherently negatively charged surface of the skin. This interaction facilitates the creation of a uniform, protective film, which actively conditions the skin and supports its overall well-being.

Verdict
While POLYQUATERNIUM-61 is recognized for its film-forming and skin-conditioning properties, there is currently insufficient robust data regarding its clinical efficacy, precise safety profile, irritancy, and comedogenicity to provide a definitive assessment for precision skincare applications.
