Benefits: It works as a natural thickener and texture modifier, helping to give body and stability to gels, lotions and emulsions. It provides a pleasant sensory feel and makes it possible to achieve transparent or slightly translucent finishes. It also helps condition the skin and control viscosity, and stands out as a natural alternative to synthetic thickeners.

Extraction: it comes from the controlled enzymatic hydrolysis of wheat and is gluten free. It is rich in proteins and amino acids, essential elements for a healthy metabolism. 

Benefits: it increases skin’s firmness and helps to form a film to retain moisture and provide luminosity. It prevents the skin from drying out and diminishes the appearance of wrinkles. It nourishes and repairs hair, detangles, provides shine and hydration.

Obtención: Las ceramidas son lípidos que forman parte de manera natural de la barrera de la piel y de la estructura del cabello. La Ceramide NG es una ceramida bioinspirada de origen vegetal, obtenida a partir de la oliva, que reproduce la estructura de las ceramidas propias de la piel y el cabello.

Beneficios: Ayuda a reforzar la barrera natural de la piel y la cohesión de la fibra capilar, contribuyendo a reparar y dar resistencia al cabello dañado. Favorece el confort de la piel y el cuero cabelludo secos o sensibles, ayudando a reducir la sensación de tirantez y aspereza. Aporta un efecto acondicionador y resulta eficaz incluso a bajas concentraciones.

Extraction: arginine is an amino acid obtained by biofermentation. It is one of the main components of hair keratin. Acts as a source of nitrogen for proper cell function, generating a vasodilator effect that improves blood circulation.

Benefits: used in many formulas as a natural stabiliser, much safer than conventional alkaline agents, it is known for its effectiveness in fighting hair loss. It is biodegradable.

Extraction: soy biopeptides are obtained by enzymatic depolymerization of soy proteins.

Benefits: due to its protein composition, soybean biopeptides manage to protect hair from external aggressions, restore hair fiber and achieve a soft and radiant appearance.

Extraction: obtained from acid, alkaline or enzymatic hydrolysis of Zea mays composed mainly of amino acids, peptides and proteins.  

Benefits: It has antistatic properties, reducing static electricity on the surface of the hair, supplying conditioning. Leaves hair easy to comb, flexible, soft and shiny and gives volume, lightness and shine.

Extraction: Guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride is a derivative of guar seeds. It is a type of galactomannan, a polysaccharide, which forms a viscous gel called guar gum when mixed with cold water.  

Benefits: Often used as an antistatic and conditioning agent for hair or skin; it also increases the viscosity of cosmetics.

Sourcing: alcohol that can be synthesised by reduction of 2-hydroxycaproxycaproate.

Benefits: Acts as a humectant, solubiliser and skin conditioning agent.

Sourcing: This is a 100% natural-origin polypeptide obtained from amino acids derived through fermentation. Its amino-acid sequence is designed to mimic that of hair keratin, rich in cysteine, which allows it to self-assemble and show affinity for the hair fibre.

Benefits: Thanks to its affinity with keratin, it helps reinforce the inner structure of the hair and improve the cohesion of the fibre. It contributes to improving the strength and appearance of hair that has been damaged or weakened by chemical treatments. It provides a strengthening, repairing effect that is noticeable even at low concentrations.
