Description
Cationic Guar Gum is a high-performance, naturally derived conditioning polymer designed to enhance the feel, performance, and appearance of hair and skin care products. It is a quaternized derivative of guar gum that carries a positive charge, allowing it to bind effectively to negatively charged hair and skin surfaces for superior conditioning and slip.
