Cetrimonium Methosulfate (CAS 65060-02-8) is an INCI-certified, crystalline cationic surfactant specially engineered to deliver superior conditioning with exceptional mildness. As a gentler alternative to traditional quats, this 90% active ingredient provides:
It can deposit on the hair surface, forming a protective film that reduces friction between hair strands. This makes the hair feel smoother, softer, and more manageable, improving its combability. It is especially effective in treating dry, frizzy, and static-prone hair.
It can neutralize the static charge on the surface of hair and skin, reducing the adsorption of dust and impurities. This helps keep the product clean and fresh and enhances the application feel.
It helps reduce the surface tension between different components in cosmetic formulations, facilitating the formation of emulsions. It also suspends water-insoluble solids evenly in water, stabilizing the emulsion system.
It can combine with water and stains, making it easier to rinse off dirt and oil from the skin and hair. It also has certain antibacterial properties, which can help eliminate odors and prevent microbial growth.
In general, for hair care products, the addition amount can be 1% - 8%.
Commonly used in shampoos, hair conditioners, styling gels, leave-in products, spray-on conditioners, and hair dye creams.
Widely used in shampoos, conditioners, and masks. It provides conditioning effects, improves hair quality, and makes hair shiny and easy to manage.
