BASF's COSMOS-compliant Verdessence Maize (INCI: Hydrolyzed Corn Starch) is a versatile styling biopolymer that works as a setting polymer, film former and mattifying agent, ideal for creating stable, long-lasting hair styling formulations.

The ingredient acts as a biodegradable replacement for PVP or VP/VA polymers that reportedly doesn't compromise on performance.

Verdessence Maize is designed to fit crystal clear pump sprays, well-kept foam shape pump or aerosol mousses and other styling formats.

Its high alcohol compatibility is reportedly advantageous for hair pump sprays.
