INCI: Polyquaternium-113
Product Category: PolymerChromoHance 113 is a patented polymer that helps protect colour-treated hair from surfactant stripping by forming a hydrophobic surface on each strand of hair, reducing water absorption during washing and slowing the fading process. ChromoHance™ 113 provides colour maintenance technology for oxidative colour-treated hair.
Colour treating processes such as oxidative dyeing tend to remove the hydrophobic layer from the hair surface. Without a hydrophobic layer, dye molecules leach out faster from hair fibers during typical washing and conditioning practices with surfactant-containing products. ChromoHance 113 polymer restores the hydrophobic shield, aiding in the preservation of colour vibrancy and significantly reducing the leakage of colour molecules.

Anti-fading of Market Leading Red Colourant (Hot Red) (4R)

Red hair is a difficult colour to guard against wash-out and colour-fade. Using a commercial permanent red hair colour as a test case, the anti-fade performance of this oxidative dye is tested during a shampoo and conditioner regimen containing 1% active level of the ChromoHance 113 polymer. Comparing the same shampoo and conditioning regimen with and without ChromoHance 113 polymer, over 10 cycles, a significant improvement in anti-colour fade is observed.
