Bussan Food Science Announces Findings on Hair Styling Properties of Sugar Alcohols
Bussan Food Science announced findings on hair styling agents. In the flaking test, a 2% solids solution of PVP, a polymer set polymer often used in styling agents, or Aquaol #2 was applied to the hair, dried, combed through five times, and photographed under a microscope. As a result, multiple flake-like peeling was observed in the PVP treatment, but not in the Aquaol #2 treatment.
Furthermore, a film with a thickness of about 0.5 mm was prepared by adjusting the compounding ratio of PVP and Aquaol #2, and a bending test was conducted. The formulation containing a large amount of PVP broke in half, but the formulation containing a large amount of Aquaol #2 could be folded without cracking.
From the two test results, it can be seen that Aquaol can form a highly flexible film that is resistant to flaking. In other words, it is expected to be effective as a new setting component in hair styling agents.
