Polyquaternium 7
CAS No. 26590-05-6
Polyquaternium 7 is a highly charged cationic copolymer of diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride and acrylamide. It is used extensively for cosmetic applications. It is an invaluable multifunctional component in cosmetics and toiletries, and thus is one of the most widely produced cationic polymers in the world today.
Polyquaternium 7 is a unique copolymer especially developed for improved compatibility and clarity in anionic surfactant systems.
In shampoo, it increases and stabilizes foam, increases viscosity while contributing excellent lubricity, wet combability and lustre to hair, without any build-up.
In skin care, it provides lubricity and substantive film forming properties, and helps disperse other functional ingredients on the skin.
Applications: Hair care, skin care, shave cream, liquid and bar soaps, bath products, lip care and deodorants.
INCI: Polyquaternium-7
