The US company’s newest product offering includes targeted products for conditioning and deposition aid, styling, cleanser, film formers for colour cosmetics and sun care applications – empowering formulators to create high-performing consumer loved products.
Dow also unveiled a prototype formulation kit under the theme 'From Shower to Sensational', designed to elevate everyday routines into indulgent self-care experiences.
The kit is composed of 12 thoughtfully crafted formulas powered by innovative ingredients like silicone elastomers, gum blends, organic skin-conditioning polymers, a bio-based SPF booster, and upcycled rice husk silica, this kit is designed to transform everyday routines into a refreshing and inspiring beauty experience.
Complementing that was the launch of the ‘ProtecTress 2.0 Program’, focusing on effective hair heat protection options.

“Consumers demand long-lasting results, whether they're trying out a new product or reaching for a trusted favourite. That is what helps them feel confident throughout the day,” she added.
