Water soluble moisturizing cationic conditioner
INCI
Polyglyceryl-3 Betainate Acetate
GREENQUAT® BT is a patented, 100% plant-derived copolymer with high cationic charge from betaine, upcycled from the non-edible parts of sugar beet during sugar production. It can flexibly replace synthetic conditioning ingredients (i.e., ammonium chloride derivatives, hydroxypropyltrimonium, silicone, and polyquaternium derivatives) commonly used in haircare applications.
GREENQUAT® BT is specifically developed for improved compatibility and transparency in anionic surfactant systems delivering excellent moisturization, smooth and anti-frizz effect and improving the quality of the foam, which appears creamier, softer, and shinier.
GREENQUAT® BT is suitable for rinse-off and leave-on hair products such as shampoos, conditioners, cleansing lotions, hair masks, serums, but it is also recommended for body care due to the velvety feeling typical of cationic products.
GREENQUAT® BT comes in liquid form and it can be used in cold processing.
