What is Biofilm Powder?

Biofilm Powder is a water-soluble ingredient that is made through fermentation of plant sugars. It comes as a fine, light beige powder that dissolves completely in water.

The scent is neutral to odorless. In use, it forms a thin, flexible film around the hair. This makes the hair feel smoother and gives it more shine.

It helps reduce frizz without making the hair heavy. Also on the skin, it gives a soft and supple feeling. Ideal for DIY leave-ins, styling sprays, gels and serums.

INCI: Sodium Polyitaconate

What are the benefits of Biofilm Powder?

Less frizz and smoother hair
It forms a thin layer around the hair that reduces friction. This makes the hair look calmer and feel smooth.

Flexible styling without hard feeling
At higher dosage, it provides light fixation. The hair remains supple and doesn't feel stiff.

Heat protection
The film helps retain moisture in the hair better during blow-drying or styling. This helps prevent dehydration and brittle hair from heat tools.

Faster drying time
It distributes itself in small contact points along the hair. This allows moisture to evaporate faster.

More shine and easier combing
The smooth layer reflects light and reduces tangles. Hair is easier to comb through, wet and dry.

Extra hydration
It helps attract and retain water. Great for dry or frizzy hair and light gels.

Easy to process
Dissolves completely in water and works well in sprays and gels. Also suitable for formulas with alcohol.

How do you use Biofilm Powder?

Face: Use 0.2–1% in gels or serums. Add to the water phase below 40 °C.

Hair (leave-in): Use 0.2–1% in a spray for anti-frizz and smoothness. Dissolve well in water.

Styling: Use 3–5% for light hold in gels or sprays.

Conditioner: Use 0.5–2% for extra slip and less tangling.

Tip: Sprinkle slowly into the water phase and stir well to prevent clumping. Works best around pH 4.5–5.5.

What makes Biofilm Powder so special?

Instead of forming one thick layer, this powder attaches itself at small points along the hair shaft. This keeps the hair airy and makes it dry faster, while frizz actually decreases and shine increases. Smart engineering from nature.
