Givaudan Active Beauty has launched a new ‘smart bead’ for hair care applications to cover white and grey hairs in hair styling and combing products.
Bringing more than visual attractiveness to hair styling products, this instant colouring hair treatment called Colourboosting Unispheres delivers functional benefits to consumers by temporarily shading grey and white hair.
Grey and white hair is one of the first visible signs of ageing in hair care, alongside hair loss. Active Beauty’s newest ingredient has been crafted to hide grey hair by using a high percentage of intense black pigments entrapped in small silver beads. Made of highly sustainable materials (cellulose and natural sugars), these beads break down upon application, and release their high pigment content on each strand of hair. Apart of the colour boosting action, the bead delivers andiroba oil on the hair shaft, offering various caring properties including stimulation of hair growth and non-greasy after-feel.
