Cationic Modification of Cellulose Nanocrystals for Personal Care


Hair Conditioner - Why & How?

Hair care has now become the second largest contributor to the absolute value and growth in personal care market. Conditioners are well known to repair weathered hair and improve their cosmetic value.

Wherein, cationic polymers played an important role of forming protective films on hair. Thus they have been intensively studied as effective conditioning agents.
