Cationic Guar Gum LH-1601C (INCI: Hydroxypropyl Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride) – Advanced Hair & Skin Conditioning Polymer

Product Overview

LH-1601C is a premium-grade cationic guar gum derivative engineered for high-performance personal care formulations. This water-soluble quaternary ammonium polymer combines natural guar gum with cationic branched chains to deliver exceptional conditioning benefits while maintaining excellent transparency (≥95% transmittance). Its unique molecular structure forms a breathable protective film on hair and skin, making it ideal for sulfate-free, silicone-enhanced, and transparent cosmetic systems.

Key Benefits & Applications

Hair Care Excellence

Shampoos (0.1-0.5%): Dramatically improves wet/dry combability (+40% reduction in combing force vs. standard conditioners) while enhancing foam density and silicone oil deposition for salon-grade slip.

Conditioners (0.3-1.0%): Provides superior rinseability with lasting moisturization (up to 12-hour anti-frizz effect) through synergistic action with cationic surfactants.

Skin Care Enhancement

Bath/Shower Gels (0.1-0.5%): Imparts immediate silky afterfeel (consumer panel scores 4.8/5 for skin smoothness) with moisture-locking properties.

Lotions/Creams (0.05-0.2%): Acts as a dual-function ingredient - improving emulsion stability in low-viscosity systems while delivering velvet-like skin sensorials.
