Honeyquat
Honeyquat – honey-derived hydration for silky hair and skin
Honeyquat is a quaternized honey derivative obtained through the reaction of hydroxyl groups in honey sugars with a chlorohydroxypropyltrimethylammonium derivative. This transformation imparts a heightened affinity for hair and skin (substantivity), resulting in an ingredient with exceptional moisturizing and conditioning capabilities.
According to a salon study conducted by the producer of this active ingredient, Honeyquat contributes to a visible improvement in smoothness, shine, and ease of combing for hair in both wet and dry states, making it suitable for all hair types. It is equally valued as an active ingredient in skincare formulations due to its hydrating and softening effects.
Ingredients (INCI): Hydroxypropyltrimonium Honey, Aqua, Sorbic acid.
Technical Characteristics
- Appearance: Clear to slightly cloudy yellowish liquid, characteristic odor.
- Natural Origin: Honey-derived, with a documented purity profile.
- Solubility: Water-soluble.
- Recommended Usage Dosage: 2% - 5.0%
Scientific Studies and Documentation
The data below originate from a salon study (half-head study) conducted by the producer of this cosmetic ingredient on 5 participants using a base shampoo and conditioner, with and without 2.0% active ingredient. Evaluation was performed via before/after photography and a subjective sensory questionnaire (scale 1-10) completed by participants before treatment and by a professional hairdresser following application, drying, and styling.
- In Shampoo (2% active ingredient, compared to base shampoo without active ingredient): 13% improvement in smoothness and 8% in wet combing.
- In Conditioner (2% active ingredient, compared to base conditioner without active ingredient): improvements of 18% in smoothness, 5% in wet combing, 12% in dry combing, 14% in frizz reduction, 21% in overall tactile feel, 14% in shine, and 16% in hydration, compared to the base conditioner.
- Observation from the Professional Hairdresser who conducted the trial: The active ingredient was praised for its ability to smooth and discipline frizz-prone hair, performing well in both leave-in applications and rinse-off shampoo/conditioner products, including when combined with heat styling tools (blow-dryer, flat iron).
Properties and Benefits
- Superior Hydration: Hydration capacity approximately twice that of glycerin, according to producer data.
- Visible Smoothness and Shine: Contributes to a smooth, glossy appearance of the hair shaft, confirmed in the producer's salon study.
- Eased Combing: Helps improve manageability and combing in both wet and dry hair.
- Anti-Frizz Effect: Contributes to disciplining rebellious, flyaway strands.
- Skin Softening: Appreciated in skincare formulas for its moisturizing effect and tactile texture enhancement.
