About Quaternium-18 Hectorite

Quaternium-18 Hectorite is the reaction product of hectorite and Quaternium-18.[1] Because it has both water-affinitive and oil-affinitive portions, its cleansing power, lather, and skin feel may vary with the concentration and the surfactants used with it. In cosmetics, it is used to control a formulation’s viscosity and flow.[2]
