HYDROXYPROPYL GUAR HYDROXYPROPYLTRIMONIUM CHLORIDE

Obtaining:
It is a derivative of guar (a natural polysaccharide obtained from the seed of Cyamopsis tetragonoloba). It is modified by hydroxypropylation and then quaternized (introduction of quaternary ammonium groups), which gives it a cationic nature and enhances its affinity for hair fibers.

Benefits:
It functions as a conditioning polymer widely used in shampoos and cleansers, providing benefits like detangling and immediate softness, especially for damaged or porous hair, anti-static effect (less frizz and flyaways), improved wet and dry combing, with a silkier feel. Additionally, it can add body and enhance the sensory experience without the need for silicones. In cleansing systems, it helps reduce the typical roughness of surfactants and improves the ""creaminess"" of the foam.
