°C-6 Cloudburst - the story by Electric Creative Director, Mark Woolley
"We always knew the importance of a firm holding mousse to a hairstylist working on-set and backstage, but at the back of my mind I saw mousse as a retro product, that was often sticky and drying to the hair, so not the firstling in my mind to bring out as part of the product family.
C-6 Cloudburst’s formulation has been hand-crafted over two years of developing and testing in the United Kingdom. The aim was to create a firm holding mousse that moisturised rather than dried the hair. And that all the residue evaporated in the same unique way that Smoothing Cream, Preparation Spray and Volume Liquid Mist do. To achieve this, we set out to reduce the alcohol in both the formulation and the carrier by replacing it with a natural ingredient as we did 5 years earlier with eSpray.
We’ve used avocado oil instead of alcohol in the formulation. Usually mousse contains around 80% alcohol, our formulation contains only a very small amount in the aerosol propellant. Once its been formulated in the UK we ship it to Italy where we use environmentally friendly aerosol filler, ensuring the product works to the highest standard.
We all know what mousse feels like, but this mousse feels like nothing you’ve ever felt before. It feels moisturising rather than sticky to the touch. It is soft and light like a cloud but will not turn to water right away.
Avocado oil is an all-natural, non-greasy oil with a range of health benefits. The fruit enhances the absorption of important nutrients, improves skin and scalp healing, acts as a natural sunblock through the mono-saturated fats that provides a protective layer over the scalp. Avocado oil fights hair loss, as its vitamin E and B helps to strengthen and nourish hair follicles."
