Cosmetics & Personal Care Formulations with Fixatives

This aerosol styling mousse, which complies with CARB's 6% VOC mousse regulation, allows for "hands-free" application. BALANCE® CR acrylic fixative provides superior hold and humidity resistance, while CELQUAT® L-200 polymer enhances the formula with excellent wet comb, shine, and feel. This higher viscosity formulation provides foam that looks like 'silky string' when dispensed from the can.

Featuring:
ACUDYNE™ 180 Hair Fixative Resin
ACULYN™ 88 Rheology Modifier
NEOLONE™ PE Preservative

Shine & Hold Hairspray provides strong hold with natural feel. It contains TILAMAR^® Fix A1000 and Argan Oil. TILAMAR^® Fix A1000 acts as a fixative. It provides extra strong hold with a natural feel and look.

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.

This moderate hold non-aerosol hair spray provides excellent shine to the hair. RESYN® 28-2930 polymer has moderate hold and is cost effective while AMPHOMER® polymer hair fixative provides good humidity resistance.

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.

DERMACRYL® 79 polymer acts as a fixative in this powder aerosol formulation. DRY-FLO® PURE starch acts as a talc alternative in this innovative spray formulation.

Invisible Gel featuring ACUDYNE™ 180: Hair Fixative Resin.

STRUCTURE® STYLE polymer helps to create sustainable, sensible styling products. This hand-clear gel formulation illustrates three distinct benefits of this unique, natural styling polymer. First, more natural and environmentally responsible ingredient options. STRUCTURE STYLE polymer is based on potato starch, which is a renewable and more natural alternative to synthetic fixative polymers. Second, since STRUCTURE STYLE polymer is multi-functional and provides hold and rheology control, Carbomer levels can be significantly reduced, allowing for formulation cost savings. And finally, superior performance. With STRUCTURE STYLE polymer, you can achieve humidity resistance that is statistically superior when compared to similar gels formulated with traditional synthetic nonionic fixatives. Co

This alcohol-free mousse formulation contains AMAZE® starch fixative, which provides natural hold, low tack, and a natural feel.
