Abstract
Chitosan salts, covalent chitosan derivatives and quaternary ammonium salts of cellulose ethers are examples of cationic polysaccharides with significant potential in cosmetic and/or therapeutic applications. Film forming properties, moisture retention, viscosifying properties and substantivity are features that make this class of materials of special interest. The substantivity of cationic polymers to hair and skin has been demonstrated by several methods. More recently, substantivity from fully formulated products has been studied in vitro and in vivo using a combination of tape stripping and Electron Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis (ESCA). The definitive assignment of substantivity from a fully formulated product is particularly noteworthy in view of the step change in the complexity of the systems. Details of these experimental results will be presented.
