BASF’s Plantasil® 4V is a tailor-made compound for a strong hair conditioning effect in shampoos. It provides a significant improvement on wet combing and sensorial performance on different hair types equivalent to those of silicone containing benchmarks. Even at higher level of hair damage, Plantasil 4V reduces combing force significantly. These effective properties can also be demonstrated at low surfactant levels. When it comes to formulation, BASF’s new ingredient shows clear benefits: It is easy to use in cold processes and compatible with all relevant conditioning polymers. The new compound also offers clear solubilisation of oils in surfactant bases. What is more, Plantasil 4V has less impact on foam and no stabilization issues, compared to other hair care additives.
