Hydroxypropyl guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride is a substance based on guar (guar or guar gum is obtained from the guar bean. It is used as a filler, thickener and gelling agent in cosmetic and dietary products due to its strong swelling properties). Hydroxypropyl guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride is used in cosmetic formulations and acts as an antistatic agent (reduces static charges by neutralizing the electrical charge on the surface, e.g. of hair) and hair conditioning agent (makes hair easy to comb, smooth, soft and shiny and gives it volume).
