Cationic Guar (Guar Hydroxypropyl Trimonium Chloride) is a water-soluble polymer derived from natural guar beans. Manufactured by Synerguar through advanced cationic modification, it combines renewable sourcing with reliable performance.
It pairs effectively with surfactants to build viscosity and stabilize emulsions, while enhancing conditioning performance and reducing the irritation potential of cleansing agents on skin.
In personal care formulations, it serves as a versatile ingredient: a conditioning agent, viscosity modifier, static reducer, foam booster, and deposition enhancer.
Key Functions in Personal Care
Hair Care: At just 0.3%, it improves wet combing, softness, and reduces static. It also helps silicone deposit onto hair more efficiently, allowing lower silicone use and cost savings.
Body Wash: Enhances richness, foam quality, and moisturization by leaving a gentle protective film on skin after rinsing.
Outstanding Properties
1. Excellent dispersibility in cold water, no clumping
2. Stable over wide pH and high-salt conditions
3. Consistent and uniform degree of substitution
4. High purity with minimal reaction by-products and low residual etherifying agent, ensuring non-irritating long-term use
5. Uniform nitrogen distribution for stronger hair affinity
6. Compatible with anionic, amphoteric and non-ionic surfactants
7. Boosts deposition of silicones and anti-dandruff agents
Core Benefits
1. Improves wet & dry combing, leaving hair smooth, shiny and elastic
2. Low build-up, high biocompatibility
3. Enhances silicone/ZPT retention for healthier-looking hair
4. Increases delivery efficiency of active ingredients
5. Helps repair damaged hair and restore natural hydrophobic properties
6. Enhances foam sensory experience with richer, denser, and more stable lather
