Moreover, it is an aqueous solution of chitosan in 1.2% lactic acid. It exhibits excellent repair effects on hair and treats split-ends. It is not compatible with anionic compounds and limited with systems which have to be neutralized with alkali. It is antioxidant-free, preserved with 0.35% phenonip XB and contains water as solvent. HYDAMER™ HCMS-LA/P finds application in formulating hair conditioning lotions and styling products (mousses, setting lotions & pump sprays).
