INCI: Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride

Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride (GHC) is derived from the guar bean, and is a natural, biodegradable conditioning commonly used in hair and skincare products. In haircare GHC is highly valued for its ability to enhance moisture retention, improve detangling, and reduce frizz. It also boosts softness and manageability without weighing hair down. In skincare, GHC conditions and leaves skin feeling smooth and hydrated.

Why we love it: Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride is ideal for eco-conscious (green) formulations, offering a gentle yet effective solution for improving texture, moisture, and overall care in personal care products.
