Distributed by Redox, PVP is a water-based polymer used as an ingredient within hair, skin and beauty products due to its unique physical properties, including:

  • High solubility in water and various organic solvents
  • An affinity to various polymers and resins
  • High hygroscopicity capabilities
  • Film formation properties
  • Adhesiveness to various substrates
  • Chelate and complex characteristics

For hair products, PVP provides fixative power as it forms a thin coating over hair that helps maintain it in position. In beauty and make-up products it promotes the dispersion of pigments, providing the coverage and blend results desired while as a binder it helps to control the viscosity of a formula.
