Description

Verdessence™ Maize is a next-generation natural styling polymer designed for crystal-clear, high-performance formulations—from light pump sprays to cloud-like mousses. Derived from sustainable maize, it offers a biodegradable alternative to synthetic polymers like PVP and VP/VA, meeting the growing demand for clean and eco-conscious formulations.

With non-thickening performance, high alcohol compatibility (up to 40%), and excellent water solubility, Verdessence™ Maize is easy to formulate and versatile across applications. It delivers a crunch-free hold, a natural touch, and supports hair volume, curl definition, and a matte finish—ideal for inclusive formulations that flatter deeper skin tones.
