Hair care:Styling Foam
by Lubrizol
AMP-Acrylates/Allyl Methacrylate Copolymer is incorporated into a crystal clear, weightless styling foam. This product provides strong hold due to the high actives level of the fixative, yet has good properties on wet hair due to the inclusion of PEG-33 and PEG-8 Dimethicone and PEG-14. This styling foam leaves hair with a long lasting hold that remains soft to the touch and free of tack (on both wet and dry hair). In addition, this styling foam has excellent foam quality and foam cell size – created without the use of potentially irritating surfactants.
Hair Care: Sustainable Sculpting Spritz
This alcohol free spritz uses BIOSTYLE™ CGP polymer to provide stiffness and humidity resistance in a more natural working spray system. This water-based formula helps to sculpt and style wet hair and provides medium hold and stiffness when dry. The maltodextrin-derived BIOSTYLE CGP polymer is a low viscosity, easy to formulate liquid that requires no heating or neutralization, giving the formulator a simple way to create more natural and sustainable styling products. This working spray, based on the naturally-derived fixative polymer and containing no alcohol or propellants, is an environmentally-preferable way to create high-performance styling aids.
Fixatives
