and flow point, the differences between the three formulations are small and are most likely imperceptible in terms of sensory attributes. The results of texture analysis are shown in


Figure 5. The formulation with 5% XG FNCS- PC shows much higher firmness and slightly lower adhesiveness. As a result, the hair styling gel with xanthan gum is more compact and a greater force is needed to penetrate the sample. The probe can be removed more easily compared to the synthetic formulations because the gel is less sticky. The synthetic formulations also differ from each other in terms of firm- ness. The gel texture was already indicated by the oscillation data, which characterise the gel structure. Figure 6 shows the measured length of the


hair tresses in cm. Formulation Synthetic 1 shows the best curl retention performance. After 24 hours the hair tresses elongated 3.2 cm, corresponding to around 60% compared to the starting value. The hair tresses treated with the xanthan gum hair styling gel were 5.2 cm longer after 24 hours, equal to 86%, while the hair tresses treated with the Synthetic 2 formulation elongated by 85%, 5.7 cm in total. Overall, XG FNCS-PC results in a slightly


weaker curl retention than Synthetic 1, but performs as well as the formulation Synthetic 2.


Sensory Our trained in-house sensory panel evaluated the hair styling gel products on hair tresses prepared according to a standardised procedure. In the first test, the two synthetic


formulations were evaluated. Overall, formulation Synthetic 1 was preferred over Synthetic 2, especially in terms of combability, stickiness and ease of application. The formulation with XG FNCS-PC was


then tested against the Synthetic 1 and Synthetic 2 formulations. On statistical evaluation no significant differences were detectable. Thus, the in-house sensory panel could not distinguish between the synthetic formulations and the natural formulation with xanthan gum.9


Conclusion In summary, measurements taken with the rheometer and texture analyser are very precise and allow for in-depth characterisation of hair gel products.

Furthermore, rheological data give some indication of sensory perception. Spreading behaviour can be evaluated based on the yield point and the flow point. The results of the adhesive behaviour test correlate directly with the stickiness of a hair styling gel. Synthetic formulations were compared to


a hair styling gel formulation formulated purely with 5% xanthan gum. In terms of rheology, texture, performance testing and sensory attributes, the natural hair styling gel with xanthan gum was comparable with synthetic formulations. Overall, xanthan gum shows exceptional


performance in hair styling gel applications. Jungbunzlauer’s xanthan gum FNCS-PC is an all-in-one solution to replace synthetic thickeners and styling polymers. Xanthan gum FNCS-PC is natural, vegan, COSMOS approved and readily biodegradable. It is easy to handle and shows excellent stability over a wide pH range. In light of the consumer-driven demand


for more natural products and potential changes in the regulatory environment, greater attention is now being paid to the search for natural performance ingredients. Our all-natural hair styling gel with xanthan


gum is a striking example of how excellent product performance can be achieved while remaining environmentally friendly.
