Hair is subjected to multiple factors of aggression that continually induce the loss of its natural properties, which, if not restored quickly, end up causing internal structural damage. One of the most harmful exposures is UV radiation.
HMA UV Shell was developed to protect hair from sun exposure. It is encapsulated Parsol® MCX, Green tea extract, and vitamin E.
In efficacy studies, HMA UV Shell improved sun filter sustantivity to hair after washing by 650% and prevented sun damage (UV exposure) to hair (according to final tensile strength).
