Fekkai partners with Honeywell to power new products

Global haircare brand Fekkai has partnered with technology company Honeywell to utilise its Solstice Propellant in three of its newest products.

Honeywell's Solstice Propellant is a ready-now hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) solution that has an ultra-low global warming potential and helps reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 99% compared with traditional propellants commonly used in cosmetics.

The use of Solstice Propellant in Fekkai's Volume Lock Hair Spray, Flexible Hold Hair Spray and Sheer Dry Shampoo, will support the haircare brand's focus on clean and sustainable ingredients to help eliminate the potential harmful effects of beauty products on the environment.

Frédéric Fekkai, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of FEKKAI said: "For our new sheer dry shampoo and hair sprays, we were insistent on finding a spray technology that would support our mission to shatter the myth that clean and reduced-impact hair care does not perform at the highest quality. In fact, I waited for over three years before developing hair sprays because I could not endorse using anything that would negatively impact the planet.

"One of the guiding principles for the new and updated FEKKAI brand, which is focused on clean, vegan and lower-impact products, is that looking good should not be at the expense of the planet. Honeywell's Solstice Propellant was the perfect solution to allow us to bring reduced-impact, high-performance hair sprays and a dry shampoo to market. We all share one planet; let's all take care of her."

Laura Reinhard, Vice President and General Manager, Honeywell Foam and Industrial Products added: "Honeywell is committed to supporting our customers with ready-now solutions that help drive their environmental transformations. When FEKKAI approached us about using Honeywell's Solstice Propellant technology, we were excited to collaborate to provide consumers with a safe product they can feel good about and that's better for the environment, without sacrificing performance."
