N-Hance™ BF-13 Cationic Guar

Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride. N-Hance™ BF-13 Cationic Guar by Ashland acts as a thickener and conditioning agent. This quaternary polymer is a medium-cationic-substitution, high-molecular-weight polymer. It is boron-free which differentiates it from typical cationic guars. It is substantive to anionic surfaces such as skin and hair. Upon dilution of the surfactants with water, the cationic guar will complex with the anionic surfactants. The complex will deposit cosmetically effective levels of ingredients such as silicone or emollient oils onto hair and skin. N-Hance™ BF-13 Cationic Guar is designed for use in shampoos and body washes.
