Cellulose acetate, at the heart of our hair accessories

At BACHCA, we pride ourselves on creating accessories that are aesthetically pleasing, durable, and environmentally friendly. With this in mind, we chose cellulose acetate as the primary material for our hair accessory collection. Natural, durable, and elegant, this material with its many qualities deserves to be showcased. Here's why it's at the heart of our creations.

A material of natural origin and more respectful of the environment

Unlike petrochemical-based plastics, cellulose acetate is a semi-natural material obtained from cotton fibers or wood pulp. It belongs to the family of bioplastics and is a more responsible alternative, as it is biodegradable under certain conditions. Its plant-based origin makes it a more environmentally friendly choice, while maintaining excellent durability over time. At BACHCA, we are committed to offering products with a low environmental impact, without ever compromising on quality.

A noble and aesthetic material

Cellulose acetate also stands out for its unique visual effect. Unlike standard plastics, this material allows for the creation of transparency effects, light effects, and irregular patterns that make each piece unique. This is what gives our clips, barrettes, and combs their refined appearance and deep colors, whether it's opal ivory, a tortoiseshell pattern, or subtle mother-of-pearl. Its soft, silky feel also offers unparalleled comfort in use, while adding a real touch of elegance to everyday wear.

Resistance and comfort of daily use

Lightweight yet durable, cellulose acetate is ideal for making durable hair accessories. Unlike some fragile plastics that break easily, this material is particularly strong and retains its shape over time, even with repeated use. It's also gentle on hair: it doesn't snag the hair fiber, doesn't create static electricity, and limits breakage. The result: accessories that care for your hair while remaining beautiful for a long time.

Cellulose acetate isn't just a trendy material: it's a truly high-quality choice, at the intersection of aesthetics, sustainability, and environmental commitment. By adopting it for our hair accessories, we're committed to more responsible beauty, without compromising on style. Wearing a BACHCA accessory means choosing a noble, natural material full of character.
