Description

Polyquaternium-16 is a polymeric component used in cosmetic products for various purposes: 1. Hair protection: forms a protective film on the hair, helping to prevent damage caused by negative environmental influences, ultraviolet radiation, and thermal procedures. 2. Moisture retention: helps to retain moisture inside the hair, preventing its loss and maintaining an optimal level of hydration. 3. Improving hair texture: helps to reduce the appearance of split ends, control unruly hair, and facilitate combing. 4. Styling fixation: used in styling products such as lacquers or gels to create fixation and long-lasting hold of the styling. 5. Reduction of static electricity.
