Breakout Hairstyling Technologies
CH-Bioforce Launches New Bio-Based, Microplastic-Free Products
Kanesa D — February 19, 2026CH-Bioforce has launched HAIRFORSENSE™ Technology, a patent-pending, bio-based hairstyling ingredient designed to replace fossil fuel-derived polymers commonly used in hair sprays and gels.
HAIRFORSENSE offers a renewable, biodegradable alternative that is fossil and microplastic-free, while maintaining professional-level performance.
Derived from natural biomass side streams through an advanced refining process, the technology forms a lightweight, flexible structure on hair. It delivers long-lasting, reworkable hold, volume, texture, and curl definition—without stiffness, flaking, or stickiness.
“HAIRFORSENSE™ represents a fundamental shift in how hairstyling performance can be achieved,” says Mari Taipale, Chief Operating Officer at CH-Bioforce. “It allows brands to future-proof their styling formulations while meeting rising consumer and regulatory expectations for responsible beauty.”
HAIRFORSENSE™ can be explored in depth at the In-cosmetics Global show, taking place on April 14th-16th in Paris, France.
