In hair care, Polyquaternium-10 significantly improves wet combing, detangling, softness, body, and overall feel. It smooths the hair cuticle, reduces frizz, enhances manageability, and helps maintain defined curls. Its anti-static and film-forming properties leave hair feeling silky, soft, and well-nourished.

In skincare and cleansing products, it acts as a conditioning agent that leaves the skin soft, smooth, and supple. Polyquaternium-10 attracts moisture from the environment and forms a lightweight protective film on the skin, helping improve skin feel while supporting the gentle removal of dirt, dust, and impurities in body washes and cleansers.

Due to its positive charge, Polyquaternium-10 easily binds to negatively charged hair, especially damaged hair, through ionic interactions. This helps repair surface damage, smooth the cuticle, and enhance the overall appearance and texture of hair.

Urea is a naturally occurring component of the skin’s Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF), found in the epidermis where it plays a vital role in maintaining optimal hydration and the integrity of the stratum corneum. As a powerful humectant, urea attracts and retains moisture, helping to keep the skin soft, smooth, and healthy.

In addition to its moisturizing benefits, urea supports skin barrier function, including antimicrobial defense. Historically, urea was one of the earliest ingredients used in modern medicine for the topical treatment of wounds due to its proteolytic and antibacterial properties. Today, it is widely used in dermatology and cosmetic formulations as an effective moisturizer and keratolytic agent.

Urea improves the appearance of dry, rough, and scaly skin in two key ways:

• By deeply hydrating the skin to improve texture and smoothness
• By helping to reduce the buildup of dead skin cells on the surface

Benefits

• Gently breaks down the outer layer of the skin to promote cell renewal (keratolytic action)
• Deeply moisturizes and hydrates skin cells
• Helps soothe irritation and discomfort
• Enhances the penetration and effectiveness of other skincare actives

Usage Rate

• 2% – 10%: Moisturizing and strengthening the skin barrier
