"Your hairspray once saved soldiers' lives."

PVP was patented in Germany in 1939 and used during World War II as a blood plasma substitute for wounded soldiers. A completely different industry found a new use for the same molecule in the 1950s: hairspray.

What's Inside

Between them, the eight touch every function group above and every product type in this category. Each demonstrates something distinct: D&C Red No. 27 teaches that a colorant's approval can be scoped to one use and excluded from an adjacent one — the eye area specifically. Certified versus exempt colorants shows that not all approved colors carry the same pre-market testing. Titanium Dioxide and Iron Oxides each carry their own regulatory nuance despite looking like simple minerals.
