Published: 7-Jan-2015

New from cosmetic ingredients provider Evonik is Varisoft EQ 100, a high performance liquid conditioning agent with an improved sustainability profile. The active ingredient not only provides superior manageability, lubricity and softness to the hair, it also supports a more environmentally conscious approach to manufacturing beauty products.

Responding to consumer demand for effective hair conditioning without compromising the environment, Evonik is now launching Varisoft EQ 100 [proposed INCI: Quaternium-98], a novel premium hair conditioning agent with exceptional performance and pronounced sustainability features.

The esterquat provides superior manageability, lubricity and softness to the hair and is said to outperform leading market standards in both sensorial evaluations and technical measurements.

Moreover, Varisoft EQ 100 is readily biodegradabile, cold-processable and from primarily renewable, none palm-based feedstock. It also boasts lower eco-toxicity, compared to the common benchmark. A solvent-free, non-flammable liquid, it provides reduced risk during transport and production, and increased flexibility during processing.

Varisoft EQ 100 is suitable for a broad range of application formats in the hair care market, including conditioning rinses, hair conditioning sprays and treatments, conditioning shampoos, styling products and hair dyes.
