Science & Benefits

Polyquaternium-6 is a highly cationic (positively charged) polymer. Because the skin surface is naturally negatively charged, this polymer is 'substantive'—it physically bonds to the skin to form a continuous, hydrating film that does not rinse off easily. It is entirely non-comedogenic and zero-irritant. In acne care, it is a logical functional ingredient for cleansers and masks, ensuring that even after rinsing, a weightless moisture-retaining layer remains to protect the barrier from mechanical and environmental stress.
