Alternatives to WaterLock (Polyquaternium-51) for Hair Conditioning in Shampoo
คำถาม
I am currently using WaterLock (Polyquaternium-51) in my shampoo formulation to make hair soft and weighted. However, it is quite expensive. Could you suggest an alternative ingredient that provides similar results at a lower cost? I am also concerned about potential build-up on hair or scalp from long-term use of these types of ingredients.

Subject: Alternative to Water Lock for Soft and Weighted Hair in Shampoo
Hello,
You're looking for alternatives to Water Lock (Polyquaternium-51) that can provide similar benefits for hair softness and weight in shampoo, but at a lower cost.
Based on the staff's response:
- If you want to continue using Water Lock, consider using it in a leave-on hair spray at a lower concentration (0.2-0.5%). This can be more cost-effective as it's not washed off like in shampoo.
- If you prefer to keep the shampoo formula, the staff recommends SiliWater (Dimethicone Copolyol) as an alternative that offers comparable performance to Water Lock for hair conditioning in shampoo. You can explore other ingredients in the hair conditioner category as well.
Regarding your question about long-term use, the staff confirmed that neither Water Lock nor SiliWater cause build-up on the hair or scalp and are safe for long-term use.
I hope this helps you find a suitable alternative!
