PQ-11 | Polyquaternium-11 (HY PQ11) Hair Conditioning Polymer

Polyquaternium-11 is a versatile film-forming agent commonly used in hair care and skincare products to provide a smooth and protective layer. It helps improve the texture of hair and skin, enhances moisture retention, controls frizz, and adds volume.

It creates a light and flexible film on the hair shaft, making it suitable for hair styling products such as gels, mousses, and serums. In skincare formulations, it helps form a protective barrier, reducing water loss and giving the skin a silky and hydrated feel.
