Formulation view A sea-salt style texturizing spray on a water/denatured-alcohol base: sodium chloride and magnesium sulfate roughen the hair surface for beachy volume, while PVP gives light hold and PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil solubilizes fragrance. Sorbitol and butylene glycol offset dryness; kelp extract and citric acid round out the formula. Formulator's note: the alcohol-plus-salt concept is effective but drying, and the long list of EU-listed fragrance allergens warrants caution for sensitive scalps.
