About Silicone Quaternium-17

Silicone Quaternium-17 is a quaternary ammonium compound derived from silicone.[1] In cosmetics, it is used to create emulsified formulations in which water and oil are evenly mixed, to reduce tangling and rough feel in hair and leave it smooth, and to lower surface tension so raw materials can wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
