About Polyquaternium-16
Polyquaternium-16 is a polymerized quaternary ammonium salt formed from methyl vinyl imidazolium chloride and vinylpyrrolidone.[1] The number 16 after Polyquaternium is only an identification number distinguishing different Polyquaterniums; it does not indicate the amount or molecular size. Its positively charged portions are used to reduce static electricity in hair and leave a thin film. In cosmetics, it is used to reduce static that causes hair strands to lift or stick together, and to form a thin film on the skin, hair, and nail surfaces after application.[2]
