（一）I.N.C.I Name：Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride

（二）Description: It is a cationic plant-derived polymer with no concerns of residue, and has good compatibility with anionic / nonionic / amphoteric surfactants.

（三）Functions：
          1) Conditioning effect:
                                           (1) Wet step: Makes hair smooth and gives a creamy, rich foam texture.
                                           (2) After dry: Hair becomes smooth and easy to comb; skin feels soft and not dry.
          2) Provides rheological thickening effect.

（四）Characteristics：
          1) Can reduce the use of silicon, minimizing build-up on hair while still achieving the same conditioning and softening effects.
          2) Suitable for transparent formulations.
          3) Soluble at room temperature; viscosity does not need to be adjusted in acidic conditions.
          4) More stable than typical cationic agents.
          5) Provides hair/skin with a silky, fine, and moisturized feel.

（五）Applications：Transparent formulations – Shampoo / Bath wash / Facial cleanser / Body lotion / Cream

（六）Conclusion：
         1) Can replace cationic agents and be more stable in cleansing formulations.
         2) Reduces silicon usage, promoting healthier and more vibrant hair.
         3) Excellent smoothness and conditioning performance.
         4) Easy to dissolve and handle.

（七）Recommended Dosage：
         1) Transparent formulations – 0.1 ~ 0.3%
         2) Non-transparent formulations – 0.2 ~ 0.5%
