General Description
NANOQUAT 22 is a high-performance cationic polymer derived from Polyquaternium-22, widely used in the cosmetic and personal care industry for its exceptional conditioning and film-forming properties. As a water-soluble quaternary ammonium compound, NANOQUAT 22 CHEMICAL provides excellent substantivity to hair and skin, delivering long-lasting softness, smoothness, and moisture retention. It is especially valued for its compatibility with surfactant systems and its ability to improve product aesthetics without buildup.
Uses in the Cosmetics Industry
NANOQUAT 22 is extensively used in haircare and skincare formulations such as shampoos, conditioners, hair masks, styling products, body washes, and creams. It enhances wet and dry combability, reduces static electricity, and improves hair manageability and shine. In skincare products, it helps form a light protective film that improves skin feel and hydration. Many formulators BUY NANOQUAT 22 for use in premium conditioning systems where performance, clarity, and stability are essential. It is suitable for both rinse-off and leave-on applications.
Side Effects & Hazards
NANOQUAT 22 is considered safe for cosmetic use when applied within recommended concentration limits. It is generally non-irritating and well tolerated by most skin and hair types. However, in rare cases, individuals with highly sensitive skin may experience mild irritation. Direct contact with eyes should be avoided, as it may cause temporary discomfort. Proper handling practices should be followed during manufacturing to prevent inhalation of concentrated material. Cosmetic manufacturers sourcing WHOLESALE NANOQUAT 22 should ensure the material meets cosmetic regulatory and quality standards.
