Bayer MaterialScience introduced its new polyurethane-based Baycusan C cosmetic ingredient product line.It consists of four solvent-free aqueous polyurethane dispersions serving as film formers and a polyurethane powder as a sensory aid, said Bayer.

The distinctive characteristic of Baycusan’s film formers is their unique structure. It enables a fine balance of film properties: water resistance, flexibility and a non-greasy, non-tacky lightweight afterfeel on skin and hair.
