In the competitive landscape of hair care, formulators demand acrylic fixative polymers that deliver uncompromising hold under extreme humidity, while meeting increasingly stringent global safety and purity standards. AgeSin® SPA-Hair GP5001 is a premium Octylacrylamide/Acrylates/Butylaminoethyl Methacrylate Copolymer—chemically identical to AMPHOMER®—engineered as a direct, drop-in replacement that not only matches the performance of the market leader but exceeds it in purity, heavy metal control, and regulatory compliance.
AgeSin® SPA-Hair GP5001 is a high-purity, amphoteric acrylic copolymer specifically developed for high-performance hair fixative applications. It delivers the same market-leading stiffness, unparalleled holding power, and exceptional high-humidity curl retention that formulators expect from AMPHOMER®, while offering superior impurity profiles and full traceability.

Conclusion: AgeSin® SPA-Hair GP5001 is chemically identical and functionally equivalent, with the added advantage of documented purity and safety data.
AgeSin® SPA-Hair GP5001 delivers exceptional curl memory and hold even in high-moisture environments. Its amphoteric nature allows it to maintain film rigidity without becoming tacky or brittle, ensuring all-day style retention.
Like its reference counterpart, GP5001 provides thermal protection benefits (refer to US Patent 9,119,972 B2). It forms a protective film on the hair cuticle that acts as a heat shield against flat irons, curling wands, and blow dryers, helping to reduce heat-induced damage and preserve hair integrity.
GP5001 delivers the unparalleled holding power required for ultimate control, yet allows for brush-out and a natural, soft feel—no stiff, flaky residues.
Fully compatible with traditional and low-VOC aerosol and pump systems, GP5001 enables formulators to meet evolving regulatory and consumer demands without sacrificing performance.
Unlike generic alternatives, GP5001 is manufactured under strict quality control with:
Heavy metals (Pb, Hg, As, Cd) rigorously tested and controlled
Dioxane and acrylamide: not detectable
Complete microbiological testing (total count, mold, yeast, pathogens)
Methanol content ≤ 2000 ppm
This makes GP5001 an ideal choice for global brands targeting Ulta Beauty's Conscious Beauty, Clean Beauty, and low-VOC labeling claims.
AgeSin® SPA-Hair GP5001 is a versatile film-former suitable for a wide range of leave-on and rinse-off styling products:
| Category | Application Formats |
|---|---|
| Hair Sprays | Traditional & low-VOC aerosol, pump sprays |
| Styling Aids | Mousses, gels, creams, pomades, glues |
| Curl Products | Curl enhancing creams, lotions, activators |
| Wash-Off Products | Shampoos, conditioners, rinses |
GP5001 can be incorporated using standard manufacturing processes for acrylic fixative polymers. It is supplied in solid form and requires neutralization with suitable amines (e.g., AMP, aminomethyl propanol) for aqueous or hydro-alcoholic systems.
| Formulator Challenge | GP5001 Solution |
|---|---|
| Need for AMPHOMER® equivalency | Chemically identical, drop-in replacement |
| Lack of purity data from current suppliers | Full COA with heavy metals, residual monomers, microbiology |
| Global regulatory compliance | Meets strict limits for Pb, Hg, As, Cd; dioxane & acrylamide not detected |
| Clean beauty positioning | Low-VOC compatible, high-purity, synthetic origin with full transparency |
| Supply chain resilience | Independent, reliable source with consistent quality |
AgeSin® SPA-Hair GP5001 is more than just an alternative—it is an upgrade. It delivers the same legendary stiffness, curl retention, and thermal protection that made AMPHOMER® an industry standard, while providing documented safety, superior purity, and formulation flexibility that today's global beauty brands demand.
For formulators seeking a high-performance, compliant, and cost-effective hair fixative polymer, GP5001 is the definitive choice.
