Polyquaternium-7

Low risk

FunctionConditioning

What it is — Polyquaternium-7 (INCI: Polyquaternium-7) is a cationic (positively charged) polymer used for lightweight conditioning and film formation.

What it does — It smooths hair and skin, reduces static and improves slip and manageability, and helps other ingredients spread evenly.

Typical use — It appears in shampoos, conditioners, body washes and some skin formulas, usually as a supporting conditioning agent.

Who it suits / good to know — Broadly suitable across hair and skin types. It shapes feel and spread rather than delivering an active skincare effect.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk: a widely used cationic conditioning polymer that is well tolerated. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test if your skin is easily irritated.
