Description
Polyquaternium-7 is a cationic (positively charged), water-soluble conditioning polymer produced by copolymerizing acrylamide and diallyldimethylammonium chloride (DADMAC). It is widely used in shampoos, conditioners, body washes, facial cleansers, and skin care products to provide conditioning, softness, slip, and antistatic properties without significant build-up.
