Advantage™ Revive polymer improves the manageability of hair while maintaining its luster, matching the color vibrancy and shine of freshly washed hair. Many commercial formulas, regardless of price point, are based on similar starch-based technologies that many consumers perceive to leave the hair looking lifeless, dull, less refreshed, and in some cases just as greasy. Advantage™ Revive polymer is formulation flexible – up to 50% less than that of usual dosage levels, and can be used in a variety of formats. Key benefits include effective removal of sebum at the root for visibly cleaner hair with less residue, maintained level of colour, shine and manageability of freshly washer hair, and improved sustainability footprint of dry shampoos by delivering improved performance at lower use levels. view less
