  • Why use multiple quats in a shampoo?

    Posted by Camel on April 5, 2024 at 11:52 pm

    I have noticed some big brands use multiple quats in their shampoos. For example, one shampoo has Polyquaternium-7, Polyquaternium-10, Polyquaternium-52, and Quaternium-80 in the ingredients list. Is there a good reason to use a mix of several instead of just one?

    They might just think they get a better feel or wet comb or something. I personally don’t think it is necessary.
