This lightweight, no-rinse foam revives curls in seconds—smoothing frizz, restoring definition, and reactivating bounce without stiffness, residue, or overworking your strands. Built for humid days, rushed mornings, and texture that needs a reset, its rich foam glides through effortlessly, softening edges and re-shaping curls while respecting scalp comfort and moisture balance. The result? Touchable, defined, frizz-resistant curls that stay fresh no matter where the day—or the forecast—takes you.

  • ​AGENABON 20.219 a natural, corn-derived film-former that enhances curl definition and without stiffness or residue. It delivers lightweight, touchable control while supporting foam stability and curl retention—ideal for clean, synthetic-free styling.
  • RHEANCE® One is a 100% natural glycolipid that gently solubilizes fragrance for clear, stable formulations. It offers mildness, high biodegradability, and supports sulfate-free, microbiome-friendly systems without compromising clarity or performance.
  • TEGO® Betain 810 is a very mild surfactant providing the rich foam created here. Its low solubilizing power preserves skin and scalp moisture, while its compatibility with mucous membranes makes it gentle enough for daily, residue-free use on curls or textured hair.

Benefits:

✔ Lightweight foam texture for even, mess-free distribution
✔ Enhances curl definition without stiffness, stickiness, or residue
✔ Helps reduce frizz and smooth flyaways in high-humidity conditions
✔ Rinse-free formula ideal for daily touch-ups and second-day styling
✔ Mild, scalp-friendly system that maintains moisture and comfort

Tucuma Butter Refined, extracted from the seed of the fruit, is an emollient rich in lauric and myristic acid, providing hydration with fast absorption by the skin. The use of this ingredient is indicated for the different types of cosmetics, especially those aiming new textures. Beraca’s tucuma butter is a natural alternative to the use of silicones, being able to maintain equivalent or better sensorial profile of the silicones, besides bringing additional benefits to the health of the skin, the hair and the environment. The properties that are especially notable are easy spreadability and light texture, promoting a dry and non-oily touch to the skin.

Especially useful in hair care products to provide shine and smoothing.

The Versagel HSQ product (Versagel HSQ 200T) offers a silicone-free alternative to oil-based and emulsion formulas. The gelled structure is based on Hemisqualane (C13-15 Alkane) combined with patented block copolymer technology. Hemisqualane is a non-volatile emollient derived from plant sugar and is inherently biodegradable, ECOCERT-approved, NPA Natural Seal Certified, and a USDA Certified bio-based product. It provides a light, non-greasy and silky feel, and serves as an effective alternative to petroleum and silicone- based ingredients. The gelled version provides additional benefits of a rheology modifier and a suspension agent for a wide range of cosmetic and personal care applications.

See this product in action in the VersaGroom multifunctional 2-in-1 hair and skin treatment formulation!

Properties

Efficacy testing of a Versagel Hemisqualane hair serum formulation (VG HSQ) demonstrated that VG HSQ improves key properties such as shine and frizz compared to a commercial benchmark (Frizz Ease) which had a high silicone content. Shine Improvement was measured using a Samba instrument while Frizz Reduction was measured via curl reversion after humidity chamber exposure.

Applications for Versagel HSQ

  • Hair Care: colorants, treatments, styling products, serums, oils, creams, moisturizers
  • Color Cosmetics: lip gloss, foundations, fluid illuminators
  • Skin Care: creams, cleansers, makeup removers, lotions, balms, moisturizers, butters
  • Sun Care: sunblock/sunscreen

]]> BERACLAY Light Green Clay: Kaolin Clay produces a significant reduction in oiliness and a significant increase in skin elasticity. Because of its many properties, especially cosmetic, the Light Green Clay is suitable for pure application or as an active in a wide range of hair and skin care applications.

Beraca’s line of Beraclay Active Mineral Colors, offers a unique variety of colors and distinct cosmetic benefits obtained through sustainable production. Beraclay Active Mineral Colors are composed of a wide range of natural color shades containing no artificial dyes or pigments. The colors are variations of minerals and microminerals offered by nature. One of the unique characteristics of this line is the extraction, done through a selective and sustainable process where the region’s biodiversity is respected and maintained.

Clay is a natural mineral composed of extremely fine particles of silicates and several trace elements. The clays may exhibit different types and concentrations of metals such as titanium, magnesium, copper, zinc, aluminum, calcium, potassium, nickel, manganese, lithium, sodium, and iron.

Clays are derived from sedimentary rocks (feldspar) that have undergone the process of erosion and exposure to climate processes for thousands of years. During this process, these fragments of rock break off and absorb characteristic metals and components of the land. The fragments can also be weathered by water from nearby rivers and organic compounds in each micro-region, thus forming the mineral product that is known as clay.

Features & Benefits of BERACLAY 20661 Light Green Clay

  • Natural and highly stable colors
  • Natural color promotion for cosmetic products
  • Improvement in sensory properties in emulsions
  • Help to promote cell ionic exchange
  • Remove waste (impurities, oiliness, and dead skin cells)
  • Reduce the effect on the oiliness of the skin and scalp
  • Anti-seborrheic effect

Applications

  • Skin care
  • Anti-aging products
  • Masks
  • Pregnancy care: creams, body masks
  • Men’s grooming
  • Natural and organic formulations
  • Spa and professional products
  • Products for oily skin
  • Exfoliation products
