POLYQUATERNIUM CROSSPOLYMER-2.

Insufficient Data / EMULSION STABILISING, HAIR CONDITIONING, VISCOSITY CONTROLLING

POLYQUATERNIUM CROSSPOLYMER-2 is a versatile polymeric ingredient primarily utilized for its stabilizing and textural properties within cosmetic formulations. It supports emulsion integrity and controls viscosity, while also offering potential secondary conditioning benefits for both skin and hair.

Science

Mechanism of Action

As a cationic polymer, POLYQUATERNIUM CROSSPOLYMER-2 interacts electrostatically with the negatively charged surfaces of the skin. Upon application, it forms a thin, substantive film that resists rinse-off. This film contributes to skin conditioning, enhances surface hydration by attracting environmental moisture, and establishes a subtle barrier, which may aid in minimizing transepidermal water loss and offering protection against environmental stressors.
