Polycos CA-50 ECO is a biodegradable conditioning and styling polymer derived from sustainably sourced natural guar gum. The product is vegan, COSMOS-compliant, boron-free, and produced using a water-saving process technology. It offers a wide range of applications in hair and body care. In body wash and shampoo formulations, it provides conditioning to both hair and skin, facilitates the delivery of actives (such as silicones, oils, and anti-dandruff agents), and enhances foam. Its low molecular weight ensures that it does not build up after repeated washings, making it easy to style the hair. In styling formulations like mousses, leave-on treatments, and creams, it adds volume, foam, and conditioning benefits for achieving desired styles.
