HAIR SPRAY

INCI declaration of ingredients:

Alcohol, Aqua, Isopropyl Alcohol, Lactic Acid, VA/Crotonates/Vinyl Neodecanoate Copolymer, Sodium Hydroxide, Biotin, Panthenol, Aminomethyl Propanol

Further explanations of the ingredients:

Alcohol:
Ethyl alcohol: Body-identical. Refreshing and antibacterial. Also acts as a solvent for other ingredients. Contrary to claims, there is no risk of a drying effect on the skin at normal use concentrations!

Aqua:
Water. It makes up approximately 65% of the human body's weight and is therefore of fundamental importance for bodily functions, including those of the skin. In many cosmetic products (aqueous solutions, cleaning agents, emulsions), water is the ingredient with the largest quantitative proportion in the formulation and forms the basis of the aqueous phase in emulsions. Water is a good solvent for polar (hydrophilic) substances such as alcohols, water-soluble vitamins, or salts. For use in cosmetic products, the water used is generally pretreated to remove microorganisms that could lead to product spoilage or dissolved salts that could potentially impair the stability of emulsions or gels (sterilization and desalination).

Isopropyl Alcohol:
Isopropanol: Has a disinfecting effect like ethanol, but unlike ethanol, it also dissolves natural fats.

Lactic Acid:
Lactic acid. Occurs as a metabolic product in the body and on the skin. In higher concentrations and at a low pH of 2 to 3, it has an exfoliating effect on the stratum corneum. In buffered form (physiological pH of the skin is approximately 5.5), it supports moisture content and preserves the skin's protective acid mantle.

VA/Crotonates/Vinyl Neodecanoate Copolymer:
Film formers in hair styling products

Sodium hydroxide:
Sodium hydroxide. Used to adjust the pH of cosmetic products. Sodium and hydroxide ions are identical in the body.

Biotin:
Vitamin H, important for the normal function of skin and hair

Panthenol:
D-Panthenol = Provitamin B5: Improves and increases the skin's moisture retention, has an anti-inflammatory effect, and itching is reduced or inhibited. Stimulation of epithelialization: Minor wounds (shaving), skin abrasions, and blisters heal more effectively. When used in hair care products, it is not only deposited on the hair and scalp, but also penetrates them, providing long-lasting benefits. Since pantothenic acid is an important component of healthy hair, scientific studies show that the precursor D-panthenol serves as "food for the hair." It provides long-lasting moisture, improves combability, reduces split ends, improves the condition of damaged hair, thickens hair, and adds shine. It reduces the brittleness of fingernails.

Aminomethyl Propanol:
Neutralizing agent for gelling agents and resins
