Cosmetics & Personal Care Formulations with Fixatives

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.

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.

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.

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.
