Summary

BASED Texture Powder scores 95/100 -- a premium, non-toxic styling powder for volume, lift, and oil absorption. Zero aerosol propellants (no butane, propane, or isobutane that drag down conventional dry shampoos and texturizing sprays), zero alcohol denat, zero parabens, zero phthalates, zero endocrine disruptors, no synthetic fragrance, no PEGs, no silicone polymers. Independently lab tested. The five-ingredient deck is exactly what a styling powder should be: arrowroot powder and rice powder for oil absorption (replacing talc, which has documented asbestos contamination concerns at the mining stage), silica and silica silylate for hold and volume, and mica for a soft natural finish. No fragrance at all.
