What it is — Steartrimonium Chloride is a quaternary ammonium compound (a "quat") used as a hair-conditioning agent.
What it does — It binds to hair to reduce static, improve detangling and add softness and smoothness.
Typical use — Found in conditioners, masks and leave-in products.
Who it suits / good to know — Well suited to dry, frizzy or tangle-prone hair. Being cationic, it is designed for hair rather than a facial-skin benefit.
