About

A conditioning agent that quenches moisture and improves skin texture. Derived from trehalose (a natural sugar found in yeast and seaweed), it helps skin feel softer and more hydrated.

Glycosyl Trehalose Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride is a quaternary ammonium salt of a glycosylated trehalose. The hydroxypropyltrimonium substituent gives it a positive charge that allows it to adhere to negatively charged skin and hair surfaces, providing a conditioning and antistatic effect. It functions primarily as a skin conditioning agent in cosmetic formulations.
