Description

Crodabond CSA is the ultimate secret weapon when it comes to hair care and colour cosmetic applications. Whether the aim is to smooth and seal lifted cuticles, repair split hair fibres, improve colour wash fastness, or introduce a new level of long-wear into colour cosmetic applications, this 100% naturally-derived film-forming agent is the answer.

Due to its half wax, half polymer composition, Crodabond CSA contributes many functional benefits to hair care and colour cosmetic applications. In addition to Crodabond CSA providing functional benefits, its natural derivation allows it to act as a sustainable alternative to some popular petro- and silicone-based ingredients.

Crodabond CSA is a copolymer of Sebacic Acid and Hydrogenated Castor Oil. The chemical structure of Crodabond CSA contributes to its adhesion, substantivity, and film-forming properties on hair fibres as well as on the skin. It has a high refractive index (RI) of 1.4697, which is an indicator of its shine potential in many different systems. These physical properties make Crodabond CSA an ideal choice for today’s high-tech hair care and colour cosmetic demands.
