Esterquat 65 – the natural hero in our shampoo and conditioner bars 🌿 (Distearoylethyl Dimonium Chloride, Cetearyl Alcohol)

When we at Dalarnas EKO choose ingredients for our products, it is with both results and consideration in focus – for you, for nature and for the future. One of our most appreciated ingredients in both shampoo bars and conditioner bars is Esterquat 65 , known on the ingredients list as " Distearoylethyl Dimonium Chloride, Cetearyl Alcohol" .

It may not be a name that sounds particularly natural at first glance – but that's exactly what it is: a natural, biodegradable and organically certified caring ingredient .

💧 Esterquat 65 is skin-friendly too

It's easy to think that a conditioner ingredient only belongs in the hair, but Esterquat 65 is also gentle on the skin . It doesn't dry out or irritate the scalp, making it an excellent alternative to stronger, conventional substances often used in traditional products.

This makes our shampoo and conditioner bars perfect even for those with a sensitive scalp, dry hair or if you simply want to avoid unnecessary chemicals.
