POLYQUATERNIUM-7

Price range: N$81.00 through N$294.00

Polyquaternium-7 is a water-soluble, cationic conditioning polymer commonly used in personal care formulations, especially haircare and skincare. It is made by combining acrylamide with diallyldimethylammonium chloride (DADMAC), giving it a positive charge that allows it to bond with negatively charged surfaces like hair and skin.

This makes it highly effective at forming a thin, invisible film that smooths, softens, and protects. Because it is gentle and compatible with most surfactant systems, Polyquaternium-7 is found in shampoos, conditioners, serums, body washes, facial cleansers, and even shaving gels.
