Follicusan 20 g

Follicusan as a water-soluble functional complex for stable scalp and hair care formulations in industrial manufacturing

Follicusan is a multi-component cosmetic raw material designed as a functional ingredient for hair and scalp care formulations. It combines a hydroalcoholic base with amino acids, milk proteins and buffering agents, providing stable performance in formulation systems.

Technologically, it integrates easily into aqueous and emulsion systems. Alcohol content enhances distribution and compatibility with surfactants and emulsifiers. It remains stable within pH 4.5–6.5 and supports consistent results in industrial manufacturing and contract production.

Properties and functional role

Follicusan functions as a water-soluble active that improves distribution of components and maintains formulation stability. It is compatible with surfactants, conditioning agents and emulsifiers.

Properties and result

It provides stable texture, uniform distribution and predictable system behavior. It reduces risk of separation and supports long-term stability.

The result is a consistent product with stable viscosity and reliable performance.

Purpose

Used in shampoos, conditioners, masks, ampoules and scalp serums. Applied in SPA and professional systems.

Application

Added to water phase or during cooling stage. Easy to dose and integrate into formulations.
