Quaternized Rice Protein Liquid BLP

Cationic Plant Protein for Salon-Level Conditioning

Standard proteins can rinse away. Quaternized proteins carry a positive charge, so they are drawn to the negatively charged areas of damaged hair and stay where they are needed. Quaternized Rice Protein Liquid BLP combines that substantivity with the gentle, allergen-friendly profile of rice.

Why Formulators Choose Quaternized Rice Protein Liquid

Quats of plant proteins give formulators conditioning that is closer to traditional cationic conditioners, while keeping a plant-based story. Rice quat is an excellent choice for sulfate-free systems, detanglers and conditioning shampoos.
