Positively Charged Ingredients and Alternatives to WaterLock

Regarding your question about which ingredients from your list are positively charged and incompatible with Seamollient, based on the information available, WaterLock (Polyquaternium-51) is the only ingredient among those listed that has a positive charge.

For alternatives to WaterLock that provide similar functions of coating the skin and preventing water loss, especially for normal to dry skin, you can consider emollients, oils, or silicones. Here are some options from your list and related products that offer similar barrier and moisturizing effects:

• Oils/Emollients:

  • Phytosterols (Plant Sterols): Helps restore skin structure, strengthens the skin barrier, increases elasticity, and stimulates collagen and hyaluronic acid.
  • Horse Oil: Helps restore moisture, rejuvenates the skin to be smooth and soft, reduces wrinkles, and provides a skin coating.
  • Mineral Oil: Acts as an emollient to add softness and smoothness, does not clog pores, and prevents water loss.
  • LipidSoft™ Lanolin: An emollient that provides a texture and properties similar to natural Lanolin, known for its skin barrier function.

• Silicones:

  • Silicone Gel (Flex/Snail, Dimethicone Base): Provides a soft, smooth, light, and non-sticky feel, giving the skin a soft, matte look and forming a coating.

These ingredients can help to coat the skin and prevent moisture loss, offering a similar benefit to WaterLock in that regard, although their chemical nature and specific properties differ.
