Used in a wide variety of hair care, skincare, and personal products like shampoo, conditioners, hairsprays, soaps, lubricants, make-up & make-up removers, fragrances and shaving creams.

It is also used as a thickener in many cosmetic formulations to improve the consistency and stability of the product.

• Leaves skin and hair feeling moisturised without a hint of greasiness

• Forms a thin coating on the hair shaft, inhibiting it from absorbing moisture and thus reducing frizz

• Helps detangle wet and dry hair for increased manageability

• Thickens cosmetic formulations

   0.2–5% may be added in the cool-down phase.
May be used in higher concentrations for products like hair gels and mousses.

PQ7 is non-toxic and may be easily dissolved in water.
