POLYGLYCERYL-3 BETAINATE CITRATE

Sourcing: It is obtained from polyglycerol-3 (a glycerine derivative) and betaine (trimethylglycine) sourced from white beetroot, through an esterification process followed by neutralisation with citric acid. It is 100% plant-based and partly upcycled from a by-product of the sugar industry.

Benefits: It is a naturally derived conditioning agent designed as an alternative to synthetic cationic polymers. It helps form a thin film on the surface that brings softness, shine and a silky feel, supports detangling and manageability, and helps control frizz. It also stands out for being readily biodegradable.
