Restructuring VG gum: This sugar derivative, a combination of galacturonic acid, L-fucose and D-galactose, is inherently enveloping and of high molecular weight. It is recognized for its multifunctional biological and sensory properties. It restructures and smooths the scales of dry or weakened hair in no-rinse condition. Hair beauty is preserved while shine and softness are enhanced.
Plant-based squalane: Plant-based squalane comes in a thin, clear oil. This lipid is naturally produced by the human body and is one of the main components of sebum and the hydrolipidic film. Plant-based squalane prevents dehydration, restores the hair’s suppleness and elasticity and limits transepidermal water loss. It is light and silky to the touch, and being non-oily makes it a prized active ingredient in cosmetics.
Sweet Almond Extract: Derived from purified Sweet Almond fractions, this active ingredient is rich in polar peptides and oligosaccharides, giving it high film-forming power and substantivity. The combination of these two effects strengthens the cohesion of hair scales and enhances shine, providing a coating effect.
Moisturizing Plant Sugars: This sugar derivative, a combination of xylitol and glucose, optimizes water reserves by increasing the hair’s glycosaminoglycan content (hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate). It also helps reduce Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) by promoting the synthesis of lipids (ceramides, cholesterol) and key proteins in the skin barrier (keratin, loricrin). Moisturized and restructured, the hair is stronger against external stressors.
