Cosme-PhytaMIX Hair Tonic is a natural Cosme-phytamis blend
formulated with five selected plants (sage, watercress, stinging
nettle, rosemary and chamisso arnica) for their synergistic and
complementary properties. It offers, in one ingredient, targeted
and optimized actives for hair beauty. It boasts a high concentration
in active molecules due to an exclusive eco-responsible
manufacturing process.
Obtained from milk thistle, LipolamiER is a 100% natural
fluid and dry soft-touch ester. Due to the richness in Omega-6
fatty acid (linoleic acid) that reinforces cell cohesion, LipolamiER
is a powerful texture agent offering skin barrier /scalp protection
properties. LipolamiER offers pleasant and extreme softness upon
application and can be used in gels, emulsions and foaming hair
care products.
Ashland
AquaStyle 300 N styling polymer is a multifunctional fixative and
styling polymer that helps enable the creation of extreme hair
styles with resistant hold. Even in humid conditions, AquaStyle
300 N delivers style durability with shine and frizz control, creating
a barrier to shield against external factors such as pollution
and the negative effects of urban living. Applications for the new
product include styling sprays, mousses, clear gels, cream gels,
combing cream, serums, lotions and novel textured stylers including
pastes, putties, waxes and glues.
FiberHance bm solution is a molecule designed to penetrate
the hair fiber and provide strengthening in hair care products.
The molecule is based on glucoside chemistry that creates new
ionic and hydrogen bonds inside hair fibers, to strengthen and
give back natural manageability to all hair types. It is compatible
with color treatment systems to strengthen hair during and after
coloring, and to repair hair fibers that have been damaged by
chemical treatments.
BASF
BASF has reassessed its hydra-protect technology for skin
moisturization, PatcH2O, and found it to be suitable for hair care
applications such as anti-aging scalp care. Acting on two levels, PatcH2O
offers hydration on the scalp’s surface with a combination
of natural biopolymers, hyaluronic acid, alginate and a natural
glucan known as pullulan that forms a three-dimensional molecular
mesh to reduce water evaporation like a protective film. The
micro-network is loaded with a moisturizing complex containing
glycerin, L-serine, trehalose and urea, which is gradually released
into the heart of the stratum corneum to rebalance the skin’s
moisture level.
BASF’s anti-aging active ingredient for hair, DN-Age, slows
down the hair-graying process and helps reduce hair loss. The active
ingredient acts on the scalp by preventing UV-induced DNA
damage. It also protects hair follicle cells and prevents hair graying
and aging. Extracted from Cassia alata leaves and titrated in flavinoids,
DN-Age is also COSMOS-approved and IECIC-listed.
Chemyunion
Chemyunion has developed H-Vit, a cross-functional active ingredient
that controls oily hair and scalp. Rich in vegetable extracts,
the product reduces sebum production by nearly 60%. Recommended
for people with damaged and oily hair, it can be added to
the formulation of male hair products, such as stylers, shampoos,
conditioners and tonics.
Polluout protects hair against damage caused by pollution.
Composed of plant polysaccarides associated with green tea,
panthenol and xylitol, the synergic combination reduces the
adhesion of pollutant particles and also has antioxidant and antiphotodegradation
properties. According to Chemyunion, benefits
include improved combability and increased hair strength
and brightness.
Dow Corning
DOWSIL CE-7081 Smart Style is an amino silicone elastomer
emulsion that combines conditioning and styling benefits in a
single product. It combines styling benefits like curl definition,
bounce and flexible hold with hair aesthetics that are smoother,
less frizzy and easier to comb through.
DOWSIL 969 Emulsion is an amine-functional silicone
polymer in an aqueous emulsion. It is easy to formulate into hair
treatment products, dilutable in water, provides slipperiness on
wet hair, preserves hair resistance to breakage and leads to more
aligned hair after blow drying. It also offers conditioning in dry
and wet hair, reduces the number of iron passes to optimum
straightening and enables straightened hair to maintain its styling.
This product is recommended for rinse-off and leave-in conditioners,
shampoos, hair colorants, hair perms and other hair styling
products.
DOWSIL 8500 Conditioning Agent is an amino glycol copolymer
that combines the substantive conditioning of an amino
silicone with the low yellowing and ease of formulation of a
