Polyquaternium-16 is a Copolymer of methylvinylimidazolium chloride and vinylpyrrolidone.
Polyquaternium-16 is a multifunctional polymer and it is used in cosmetic formulations.
Polyquaternium-16 is used to provide volume by adding lift at the roots.
Polyquaternium-16 is copolymer of vinylpyrrolidone and quaternized vinylimidazole

-Antistatic agent in personal care products.

-The functions of the cosmetic ingredient:
*Antıstatıc:
Preventing and/or reducing static electricity by neutralising electrical charge on surfaces.

-Polyquaternium-16 creates a film over the damaged parts of hair fibers to protect against external aggressors, and to improve the quality of the hair surface.

*Film forming:
Producing (upon application) a continuous film on the skin, hair or nails.

-Polyquaternium-16 acts as an antistatic (reduces static charges by neutralizing the electrical charge on the hair surface)and as hair conditioner and combability aid (reduces or prevents the confusion of the hair due to changes or damage to the hair surface and thus improves the combability).
This is because the molecules of the Polyquaternium-16 are positively charged.
Polyquaternium-16 attachs themselves to the (negatively charged) hair shaft and form a coherent film (film former) on the hair surface.
This makes the hair appear smoother and easier to comb.
