The present invention provides a cation-modified galactomannan polysaccharide which gives excellent conditioning effects and gives good feeling and flexibility when it is used in a hair treatment composition, and improves feeling of use by conditioning effects and emulsification conditions when it is used in a skin cosmetic composition such as body cleansing agent.
Concretely, the present invention provides a cation-modified galactomannan polysaccharide obtained by substituting some of hydroxyl groups contained in an cation-modified galactomannan polysaccharide which is nonionic polysaccharide and constitutes mannose as a main chain and galactose as a side chain and the composition ratio of mannose and galactose is 1:1 and obtained from albumen portion of a seed of fenugreek (
Trigonella foenum
-
graecum
) which is a leguminus plant, with a specific quaternary nitrogen-containing group, and a cosmetic composition containing the cation-modified cation-modified galactomannan.
