Rinse-off products like shampoos may be up to a whopping 95% water
When considering the environmental impact of the products you buy, it’s important to think about water. Water is one of the world’s most valuable resources, and it’s used in nearly everything. Water is the key ingredient in many beauty care products. The average beauty product contains anywhere from 60% to 85% water, and rinse-off products like shampoos may be up to a whopping 95% water. That’s a lot of extra water to send down the drain.
To help us all be more eco-conscious, BASF is proud to present two low-water formulations that keep water waste down while showing your hair the love it deserves.
The Low Water High Foam Cleansing Paste is exactly what it says on the package, but it is so much more. Containing less than 20% water, it saves water while bringing a gentle, sudsy clean by utilizing a sulfate-alternative surfactant, Plantapon® LGC Sorb. It also contains Gluadin® Kera-P LM, a micro-protein that helps penetrate deep into the hair cortex to reduce surface damage and provide long-lasting strength. The combination of Cetiol® Softfeel, a soft-solid petrolatum alternative, along with a conditioning agent, Dehyquart® Guar N, provides great conditioning and nourishing properties. After leaving your hair clean, soft, and manageable with significantly less water content, the Earth won’t be the only one thanking you for the change.
