A numbered cationic polymer used for hair conditioning, antistatic effects, film formation or formula texture. The Polyquaternium number identifies a distinct polymer, so evidence from one number is not treated as proof for every other number. For this ingredient, no pregnancy, reproductive or breastfeeding hazard signal was identified in the cosmetic-use and substance information reviewed. Its polymeric size makes meaningful absorption through intact skin unlikely; local irritation and control of residual monomers remain formulation-quality considerations.
