POLYQUATERNIUM-65.

Insufficient Data CAS - / EMULSION STABILISING, HAIR CONDITIONING

Polyquaternium-65 is a cationic polymer, primarily recognized for its efficacy in forming a conditioning film on various surfaces. While extensively utilized in hair care to enhance texture and appearance, it also serves as an important emulsion stabilizing agent in cosmetic formulations.

Summary

Emulsion Stabilising Hair Conditioning

Science

Mechanism of Action

As a polymeric quaternary ammonium salt, Polyquaternium-65 possesses a positive charge, enabling it to electrostatically interact with negatively charged biological surfaces, such as skin and hair. This interaction facilitates the formation of a cohesive film, which contributes to conditioning properties and resistance to rinse-off. Furthermore, it stabilizes multi-phase systems by acting as an effective emulsion stabilizer, preventing separation of oil and water components.
