Cationic guar gum in face and body wash
I want to make a face and body wash line that has 0.2% guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride to reduce irritation, increase viscosity and foam. We have use the sample for less than a month with no problem, but i am not sure about long term effect on face and body.
My questions are
1. Do you advice to add 0.2% guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride in face and body wash or not?
2. Any idea about long term effect or any negative skin feel?

Polyquaternium-7 or 39 are more commonly used in face wash. The latter gives a slightly more squeaky-clean feel.Cationic stuff binds to skin less than hair. It shouldn’t be causing problems.

Thanks.
In order to reduce the cost i am purchasing in a bit higher quantities (25kg or more) so if i could use one ingredients in many products that would be very good.
I am already using cationic guar in shampoo and have stock of it.
