Polyquaternium is the International Nomenclature for Cosmetic Ingredients designation for several polycationic polymers that are used in the personal care industry.
Polyquaternium is a neologism used to emphasize the presence of quaternary ammonium centers in the polymer.
INCI has approved at least 40 different polymers under the polyquaternium designation.
Different polymers are distinguished by the numerical value that follows the word "polyquaternium".
Polyquaternium-5, polyquaternium-7, and polyquaternium-46 are three examples, each a chemically different type of polymer.
The numbers are assigned in the order in which they are registered rather than because of their chemical structure.
Polyquaterniums find particular application in conditioners, shampoo, hair mousse, hair spray, hair dye, personal lubricant, and contact lens solutions.
Because they are positively charged, they neutralize the negative charges of most shampoos and hair proteins and help hair lie flat.
Their positive charges also ionically bond them to hair and skin.
Some have antimicrobial properties.
Polyquaternium-46 is a polymeric quaternary ammonium salt prepared by the reaction of vinylcaprolactam and vinylpyrrolidone with methylvinylimidazolium methosulfate.
Polyquaternium-46 is present in 0.04% of cosmetics.
Polyquaternium-46 is a quaternized copolymer for hair and skin care.
Polyquaternium-46 is an aqueous solution of cationic polymers of different charge density and different degrees of setting and conditioning.
Polyquaternium-46 is a clear to slightly turbid yellowish viscous liquid, with a slight characteristic odor.
Polyquaternium-46 has a weight composition of 40% VP, a solids content of 19-21, and a charge density of 0.5 meq/g at pH 7.
Polyquaternium-46 is ideally used in mouse, gel spray, hair and skin conditioner and shampoo, body lotion, and shaving preparations.
Polyquaternium-46 is a rare cosmetic ingredient, with about 0.01% of the products in our database containing Polyquaternium-46.
Polymeric quaternary ammonium salt.
Reaction product of vinylcaprolactam, vinylpyrrolidone with methylvinylimidazolium methosulfate.
Action in cosmetics - a substance used in shampoos, conditioners and hair sprays has antistatic and softening properties, helps to straighten hair and prevent frizz.
The positive charge of the particles neutralizes the negative charge of the hair protein, thanks to which the hair is smooth, non-static and easy to comb.
By creating a protective layer, Polyquaternium-46 prevents skin and hair from drying out.
Makes hair shiny and silky soft to the touch.
Polyquaternium-46 can also be used to modify foaming properties - Polyquaternium-46 reduces the size of air bubbles, improves foam stability and increases glide, thus creating a rich, creamy foam with excellent glide, which is important in, for example, shaving products.
Occurrence in cosmetics of Polyquaternium-46:
Nail care products, hair care products
The group of polyquaternium polymers includes a wide range of chemically different polymers, all of which carry a quaternary ammonium compound as a cationic functional group.
They are preferably used as film formers for hair and fingernails, but also as fixatives and antistatic agents in hair care products.
Functions of Polyquaternium-46:
Antistatic: Reduces static electricity by neutralizing the electrical charge on a surface
Film forming agent: Produces a continuous film on the skin, hair or nails
Hair fixing agent: Allows to control the style of the hair
