Hydroxypropyl Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride is a cationic derivative of guar gum, a plant polysaccharide. INCI: Hydroxypropyl Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride. In a formula it works as a conditioning polymer and thickener: the positively charged molecule is drawn to hair and skin, smooths the surface, removes static, and adds softness. It is a functional component, common in shampoos, conditioners, and gentle cleansers, rather than a skincare active. Pregnancy safety. The polymer does not penetrate skin, is systemically negligible, and there is no evidence of harm. It can be used during pregnancy and lactation. Tolerance. Irritation and allergen potential are low, suitable for sensitive skin.
