Conditioners can be divided into silicone-based conditioners,cationic conditioners,natural conditioners and protein-derived conditioners.
Silicone-based conditioners
Silicone-based conditioners are mainly composed of silicone oil or silicone resin. They have excellent lubricity and moisturizing properties and are important ingredients in hair care products and skin care products.
Natural conditioners
Plant extracts or bio-derived conditioners are increasingly favored by the market due to their mildness and environmental protection properties. For example, natural ingredients such as coconut oil derivatives or shea butter are often used in organic or natural skin care products.
Cationic Conditioners
Cationic conditioners have a positively charged molecular structure that can bind to the negatively charged surface of hair or skin to provide a long-lasting smoothing effect. These conditioners are commonly used in conditioners and skin care products, such as quaternary ammonium compounds.
Protein-derived conditioners
These conditioners are often extracted from plant or animal proteins and can penetrate deep into the hair or skin to play a repairing and nourishing role.
