Product Advantage

1

Transparent Formula Compatibility

Remains clear and transparent in acidic to neutral pH environments without turbidity, perfect for transparent shampoos and high-end hair care products.

2

High-efficiency Deposition Aid

Through cationic charge adsorption, it increases the deposition of water-insoluble ingredients (silicone oil, natural oils, anti-dandruff agents) on the hair and scalp by more than 40%, enhancing the durability of the effect.

3

Optimized Conditioning Performance

Improves wet hair combing, reduces tangling, and gives dry hair a silky touch, especially suitable for damaged hair repair.
