BioQuat SG™ is a sugar-derived, biodegradable conditioning polymer that reduces frizz, static, and tangling while boosting shine and moisture retention. Ideal for hair and skin care, it provides lightweight conditioning without buildup and supports formulation stability in sulfate-free systems.

Function: Conditioning Agent

Origin: 100% Natural

 

BioQuat SG™ is a naturally derived, sugar-based conditioning polymer designed to deliver exceptional performance in both hair and skincare formulations. Made from renewable plant resources and free from ethylene oxide, 1,4-dioxane, and residual monomers, this biodegradable, cationic polymer offers a superior alternative to traditional quats.

In hair care, BioQuat SG™ provides anti-static action by depositing a positive charge on the hair fiber—neutralizing the negative charge left after cleansing. This results in smoother, shinier, frizz-free hair with improved manageability and 96% reduction in wet combing force. It also offers a lightweight, non-greasy film that helps protect hair from heat styling and environmental damage, while maintaining scalp comfort and hydration.

In skincare, BioQuat SG™ forms a moisture-retentive barrier on the skin, enhancing hydration and delivering a silky, conditioned feel. It is mild enough for baby care and post-procedure use, and its film-forming properties also make it ideal for sunscreen and water-resistant formulations. Additionally, BioQuat SG™ supports viscosity and foam enhancement in sulfate-free cleansing systems and helps stabilize formulations containing anionic surfactants.
