Croda has conducted a study which shows the moisturising active DuraQuench IQ SA, can deliver scalp moisturisation and hair conditioning benefits when used at 1% w/w in a rinse-off hair care product. This exciting new data broadens DuraQuench IQ SA’s application capabilities, making it an attractive proposition for hair care applications, in addition to skin care.
Not only does DuraQuench IQ SA deliver instrumentally proven scalp moisturisation and hair conditioning benefits, these effects have been shown to be consumer perceivable. Throughout the instrumental study, panellists were asked to complete a sensory questionnaire. The results indicated that DuraQuench IQ SA can offer consumer perceivable scalp moisturisation and hair softness attributes
In an additional take home study, panellists compared the DuraQuench IQ SA formulations to control formulations in a blind study. The results confirmed further the consumer perceivable effects DuraQuench IQ SA can offer as the panellists noticed an increase in scalp moisturisation, hair softness, hair shine and nourishment as well as a reduction in the oiliness of the hair.
