  Sensory – Why to Use Cationic Emulsifiers

  The classic use of cationic products has been to improve the conditioning properties of the hair fiber. Cationic products may also be
  used as O/W emulsifiers for skin care. This functional transfer of some properties from traditional hair to skin care applications
  provides an innovative and economical platform to the formulator.
  The consumer demographic shift over the next fifty years will lead to more than doubling of the 60 + segment, making this an
  attractive market for skin care product manufacturers. A major concern for this segment of the market is maintaining skin moisture.
  There are three strategies a formulator may follow to achieve this effect: the use of a skin barrier repair agent, humectants and high
  lipophilic loadings. Often, moisturization is achieved via high lipophilic loading. The presence of a high oil phase, however, can
  impart an unpleasant oily or greasy and heavy skin feel. Cationic emulsifiers will mask these negative sensory properties, with the
  specific aesthetics determined by the choice of cationic emulsifier. In general, sensory properties for these emulsions are powdery,
  smooth and dry.
