Squalane prevents loss of moisture and makes your skin soft and supple. In addition, it has an anti-oxidant effect (fights free radicals) and prevents premature skin aging.
Hair conditioning
Conditioning is everywhere in hair care. Customers want to give their hair lubricity, feel, manageability, strength, and more. Each benefit results from the ingredient activity we call hair conditioning.
Here are some of the most exciting ingredients for providing conditioning effects. They have advanced performance properties that offer excellent conditioning for hair.
Hair conditioning ingredients are specialties that create unique, distinct, and beneficial features in hair care products—the kind of features that will help offerings stand out in customers' minds.
Phospholipids, quaternary, and natural ingredients are ideal for today's hair care applications. Mildness, substantivity, high performance, and multifunctionality are typical properties of modern hair conditioning ingredients.sr-(Wasp Spider Polypeptide-1 Oligopeptide-178) is a single-chain recombinant polypeptide that repeats a part of spider silk protein.

Nature offers us innumerable varieties of carbohydrates, many of which are easily taken for granted. Simple sugars like glucose and mannose are among the most recognizable. Simple sugars can bind together into larger chains of sugars called polysaccharides.
Sulfur is a yellow crystalline inorganic elemental mineral used in skin and hair care applications for centuries. It is a time-honored ingredient valued for its exfoliating, antimicrobial, and sebum regulating properties.
Comfrey (Symphytum Officinale) ointment greatly aids healing for almost any kind of sore or bruise. Many ancient healers employed comfrey in poultices around broken bones to aid in healing.
TEA-Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Collagen is a fatty acid protein derivative that has been neutralized with triethanolamine improving its foaming and solubility.
TEA-Lauroyl Collagen Amino Acids is a clear to slightly hazy, amber liquid with a mild characteristic odor. It is considered a "foaming protein" with conditioning properties. It is a mild and water-soluble foaming surfactant based on collagen amino acids.
Theobroma grandiflorum seed butter is extracted by mechanically pressing the Cupuacu seeds in a continuous screw press. Cupuacu (Theobroma grandiflorum) is a tropical plant that grows wild in riverbank regions of the Amazon.
Different factors (hormonal, nutritional, seasonal, and environmental) influence hair growth and appearance. Any disequilibrium alters hair, making it dull, rough, porous, and breakable.
TPF Wheat Complex is a unique hydrating complex offering a combination of moisture-balancing wheat protein and film-forming properties that work synergistically to give hair better body control to improve the stress relaxation and elasticity of the hair.
Trametes Versicolor is a polypore mushroom grown on tree trunks and found worldwide. Trametes Versicolor Extract contains many biologically active substances, including polysaccharides, proteins, and free amino acids.
While there is no doubt that hormone levels are an important factor in hair loss, it is far from being the only one. In particular, the aging of the scalp can accelerate the process.
Triethylhexanoin is a triglyceride ester of 2-ethylhexanoic acid, a colorless, clear liquid soluble in many organic solvents. It is a unique emollient that imparts an elegant, light-skin feel and a powdery after-feel to formulations.
Trifluoromethyl C1-4 Alkyl Dimethicone is a clear liquid a fluoro silicone fluid containing trifluoroalkyl groups in its molecular structure.
Red Clover Blossom (Trifolium Pratense) is abundant throughout Europe and central and northern Asia, from the Mediterranean to the Arctic Circle.
Trimethylsiloxyphenyl Dimethicone is a clear viscous liquid that provides increased compatibility with cosmetic ingredients and chemical stability to oxidation.
Trimethylsilylamodimethicone is a silica-based polymer. It is a clear liquid with a low odor. It is a non-reactive amine functional fluid that is substantive and offers excellent wet/dry combing and softness to hair care products.
Triticum Vulgare Germ Protein is a natural ingredient derived from wheat germ. It is a multifunctional active for skin care applications and is valued for its tensor, smoothing, and moisturizing effects.
Triticum Vulgare Gluten is a natural non-hydrolyzed wheat protein from the grain's endosperm with remarkable hydrophobic properties. It exhibits preferential binding characteristics to damaged hair areas.
Triticum Vulgare Protein is a high molecular weight protein fraction received from soft wheat. Thanks to its film-forming and mechanical "lifting" properties, wheat protein provides a noticeable instant protective and anti-aging effect.
Triundecanoin (Glyceryl Triundecanoate) is a triglyceride derived from esterification undecanoic acid and glycerine. Fully refined and deodorized, it is a clear liquid with a neutral odor and excellent stability.
Make the skin particularly soft, prevent it from dehydrating, have a hygroscopic effect and refine the structure of the skin.
UTMF is an Ultra Thin Molecular Film that ensures the stabilization of the molecule against oxidation and enhances cutaneous absorption of active ingredients through the epidermis.
Vegetable Oil (Olus oil) is a nonionic vegetable-derived blend of fatty alcohols and triglycerides that provides excellent stability and is very easy to use. It is a natural body and alternative for paraffines in lotions and creams.
Lesser Periwinkle (Vinca Minor) is native to the Mediterranean region and may also be indigenous in more northern parts of Europe. It is grown as a groundcover plant in gardens.
