Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate

FunctionHydration

What it is — Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate (INCI: Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate) is a humectant — a water-binding ingredient.

What it does — It is commonly used as a cationic hyaluronic acid derivative that adheres to skin for lasting hydration and conditioning.

Typical use — It appears across toners, essences, serums, sheet masks, lotions and creams, as well as scalp and hair products, generally as a supporting hydrator. Because it is water-soluble and lightweight, it slots easily into most formats without adding heaviness.

Who it suits / good to know — Suitable for most skin and scalp types. Because humectants draw in moisture, they tend to perform best applied to damp skin and paired with an occlusive or moisturizer, especially in dry air. If your skin runs very dry, sealing it in afterwards helps lock the moisture down.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk: commonly used conditioning humectant. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test if your skin is easily irritated.

Why we grade it Low: Low risk — commonly used conditioning humectant.
