Hydroxypropyl Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride is a naturally derived cationic polymer obtained from guar gum, modified with hydroxypropyl and quaternary ammonium groups to enhance its conditioning and performance properties.
This multifunctional polymer provides exceptional softness, conditioning, and manageability in both hair and skin care formulations. Its cationic nature allows it to bind effectively to negatively charged hair and skin surfaces, improving texture, smoothness, and overall sensory appeal.
Developed by The Dow Chemical Company, this polymer is part of the DEXCARE™ range of biodegradable, plant-based ingredients designed for sustainable personal care products. It is highly recommended for sulfate-free, eco-friendly, and mild formulations.
