About Quaternium-96

Quaternium-96 is a quaternary ammonium salt.[1] Because Quaternium-96 has a structure with portions that are attracted to water and oil, its cleansing power, foam, and sensory feel may vary depending on the concentration and the surfactants used with it. In cosmetics, it is used to help sebum and impurities wash away with water, smooth hair by reducing tangling and a rough feel, and lower surface tension so ingredients can wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
