Moreover, it aids wet & dry combing and imparts smoothness, gloss, body & silky feel to the hair. It gives smooth & conditioned feel to the skin also and forms a sprayable polyelectrolyte matrix when used in conjunction with rheology modifiers. It contains Optiphen™ as preservative. It finds application in formulating hair-care products like gels, mousses, styling sprays (non-aerosol), styling lotions/creams, novelty stylers and conditioners.
