Scott Bader has launched two new bio-based cationic starch additives for personal care: Texique® CS-32 and Texique® CS-P.
Texique CS-32 is an aqueous solution of a naturally derived cationic polysaccharide which can easily be incorporated into clear formulations. As a conditioning agent it detangles, improves combing and leaves hair soft with a natural feeling. It also helps improve skin moisturisation with a soft after-feel.
Texique CS-P is an easy-to-use modified film forming cationic starch derivative, produced from potato starch. As a conditioning agent it provides excellent detangling, improved wet and dry comb, increases hair shine and helps to moisturise leaving hair with a soft, natural feel. It also helps improve skin moisturisation with a soft after-feel.
