Dehyquart® S18 - designed for hair care formulations
A readily biodegradable conditioning agent that boosts performance in silicone-free formulations.
Dehyquart® S18 is a cationic conditioning agent (INCI: Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine) designed for hair care formulations, especially conditioners and hair treatments. It enhances wet and dry combability by forming a smooth film on the hair surface under acidic pH conditions.
Sustainability benefits
- Readily biodegradable1
- Renewable Carbon Content 2: 78%

1 Based on OECD standards | 2 Renewable carbon content % = Number of natural carbon atoms / Total number of carbon atoms (natural and non-natural) X 100
Performance profile
- Strong hair adhesion due to its hydrophobic nature and long-chain amine structure.
- Excellent spreadability on hair fibers enhancing manageability and ease of application.
- Effective conditioning that improves wet and dry combability, reduces frizz and boosts overall hair manageability.
- Silicone-alternative performance that provides detangling softness and anti-static effects without heavy build-up.
- Softness and suppleness even at low use levels.
- Frizz control that tames flyaways and improves hold even in humid conditions
