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. It exhibits potent antioxidant properties.
Among proteins, Trametes Versicolor Extract contains Laccase, a copper-containing oxidative enzyme responsible for one-electron oxidation. The mushroom uses that enzyme to produce lignin, an essential polymeric compound in its cell walls.
Laccase can cross-link proteins' carboxylic acid groups with the amine groups in damaged keratin hair fibers. In addition, it fortifies disulfide bonds (-S-S-) crucial for keratin's mechanical properties, like tensile strength.
Incorporated in hair care preparations and advanced complexes, Trametes Versicolor Extract is a perfect natural ingredient that enhances hair strength and repairs damage. Combined with hydrolyzed keratin, Laccase reacts with amine groups in the hydrolyzed keratin via the reactive groups on the hair fiber, profoundly nourishing, recovering hair, and improving style retention with effects that last until the hair is washed.See also
