Water soluble moisturizing cationic conditioner

conditioning – moisturizing

INCI name

Polyglyceryl-3 Betainate Acetate

(China compliant: Acetic Acid, Polyglyceryl-3 Oleate, Betaine)

   

GREENQUAT® BT is a patented 100% plant-derived copolymer with a high cationic charge derived from sugar beet. It can flexibly replace synthetic conditioning ingredients (ammonium chloride derivatives, hydroxypropyltrimonium, silicone and polyquaternium derivatives) commonly used in hair care applications.
GREENQUAT® BT is water-soluble, “readily biodegradable” and specifically developed for improved compatibility and transparency in anionic surfactant systems. It delivers excellent moisturization, smoothing and anti-frizz effect and is even capable of improving the quality of the foam which appears more creamy, soft and shiny.
GREENQUAT® BT is the ideal solution both for skincare and haircare products for children, it is very gentle and does not have the typical unpleasant smell of amines.

  • It has an antimicrobial effect against gram + (Escherichia coli – Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and gram – (Staphylococcus aureus -Staphylococcus epidermidis) bacteria, yeasts and moulds (Candida albicans – Aspergillus brasiliensis)
