Functional Positioning & Application Potential

Palmatine Chloride is a plant-derived quaternary alkaloid with applications in cosmetic and personal care products focused on purifying, balancing, and scalp-calming effects. Thanks to its botanical origin and multifunctional properties, it is increasingly used in clean-label scalp care and complexion-refining formulas:

• Clarifying Agent: Supports clear, even-looking skin by reducing buildup and surface stress
• Scalp Balancing: Used in rinse-off and leave-on formulations to help maintain microbiome balance
• Brightening Co-Active: Included in tone-correcting blends and skin clarity complexes
• Formulation Versatility: Compatible with botanical extracts, acids, and non-ionic systems

Primary uses: scalp serums, purifying tonics, redness-reducing formulas, balancing rinses, and oily skin care systems. Supplied in bulk quantities for commercial-scale formulation under EU-compliant conditions.

Usage Guidelines & Processing Notes
