What's That Ingredient? Cetrimonium Chloride


What is Cetrimonium Chloride?
Cetrimonium Chloride is also known as  Cetyl trimethyl-ammonium chloride.  It is a quaternized ammonium molecule.

What does it do for our hair?
This ingredient acts as cationic surfactants, which can be used as emulsifying or conditioning agents.
Its conditioning properties helps to smoothen our hair cuticle and minimize flyaways because it stop the build up of static electricity in hair. This ingredient can also act as a detangler for the hair.
