Anti static agent

Zara

Hi,
I am looking for some natural Anti static agents for hair conditioners.
I am thinking to remove  Behentrimonium Chloride, Cetrimonium Chloride, Polyquat-10 & 7 and Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride from my from my formulas.
What is your opinion on Truefeel 20 to 200? which one can do a better job at what % to reduce statics. DO you have any favorite? Thank you for your help in advance

Never heard of Truefeel. Why switch from the alkyl quats anyway? Behenyl quat has a Natural Origin Content of >0.80.  PQ-10 is based on a cellulose backbone, Guar HPTC on a natural polysaccharide. Even soyamidopropyl ethyldimonium ethosulfate (SOMEBODY please abbreviate that moniker!), the only quat approved by Whole Foods, is NOC ~ 0.80, doesn't work as well as any you mentioned....perhaps do nothing?

This does point to the folly of natural standard formulating. The products are just going to be inferior in performance. The reason the ingredients we use are used is because they work the best. If there was some "natural" ingredient that worked better, that's what the industry would be using.

 Thank you both, the INCI name of Trufeel is Diheptyl Succinate, Capryloyl Glycerin/Sebacic Acid Copolymer which is simillar to LexFeel®. Have you had any experiments on it? do you think it could lend a good anti-staic property to my conditioner? Thanks

Have you considered Emulsense HC from Inolex. I haven't tried it yet but it is described as a quat free hair conditioner and is derived solely from fermentation and plant sources.
