Lubrizol DebutsCassia-Derived CationicPolymers for Hair Care
• Many consumers seek hair care products that claim the use of natural or naturally derived ingredients to make hair look and feel healthy. Demographic changes in age, ethnicity and affluence as well as the increasing use of hair color, styling products and shampoos have presented formulators with the challenge of developing hair care products capable of delivering enhanced conditioning to a diverse range of hair types.
As a result, Lubrizol Corporation’s Noveon Consumer Specialties released its new Sensomer CT polymers (INCI: Cassia hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride). Derived from the Ayurvedic plant, cassia, it is said to offer improved deposition as well as enhanced conditioning in hair cleansing formulations, according to the company.
Designed to meet the needs of a wide variety of hair types, Sensomer CT polymers are more efficient silicone deposition aids than traditional cationic conditioningpolymers. This enables the use of lower levels of silicone and cationic polymer to deliver equivalent or better overall conditioning performance, according to the company.
