✅ Cetrimonium chloride is a preservative and antistatic agent. It is often found in hair conditioner, shampoo, styling products, hairspray, and other personal care products.
✅ As a surfactant, it acts more like a detergent that lifts dirt, debris, and oil and reduces static electricity-induced fly-aways.
✅ Cetrimonium chloride is also an emulsifier, meaning it helps mix two or more solutions that would normally separate (i.e. oil and water). Because shampoo and conditioner can be made with natural plant oils but is meant to be water-soluble, this ingredient helps create a perfect texture, look, and lather.

✅ Chemically, it is a cationic long-chain quaternary ammonium surfactant that is often combined with long-chain fatty alcohols, like stearic alcohol, by formulators of hair conditioner and shampoo.
✅ Because it’s a cationic surfactant (meaning positively charged), it attracts the negative charges produced by the daily shuffle, especially in cold, dry weather. It’s anti-frizz and anti-static.
✅ Cetrimonium chloride smooths strands of hair to control frizz, fly-aways, and rambunctious curls. In fact, this chemical is so effective at detangling wind-whipped hair that you’ve almost certainly used it. It’s as common in hair conditioning agents as soap is to shampoo.

CLEANSING CONDITIONER
✪ The Cleansing Conditioner formula is a cleansing and conditioning creamy texture. Our formula combines mild surfactant as COCO GLUCOSIDE, an effective cationic conditioning agent as CETRIMONIUM CHLORIDE and an elegant emollient as DICAPRYLYL ETHER, responsible for the gentle care and cleansing effect. The Cleansing Conditioner formula is proven to present better sensory properties than important benchmarks.
Formulation Details
Specifications:
– pH value (23°C): 4.5 – 4.8
– Viscosity (Brookfield; RVT; spindle 5; 10 rpm; 23°C): ~ 11000 mPas
– Appearance: white, creamy.
Manufacturing Process:
– Mix phase A and adjust pH to 4.5.
– Heat phases B and C separately to 80°C and mix while stirring with a dissolver disc.
– After cooling down to 55°C homogenize with a suitable device.
– Add phase A and allow to cool while continue stirring with a dissolver disc.
– At 40°C, add phase D. Adjust pH by using phase E and stop stirring. Excessive stirring can destroy the structure of the formulation and lead to a decrease in viscosity.
SOLID CONDITIONER
