Sugar-based ingredient for hair strengthening

FiberHanceā„¢ BM Solution (INCI hydroxypropyl Gluconamide (and) hydroxypropyl ammonium gluconate) is a new patent pending chemistry in the growing arsenal of ingredients for internal hair strengthening and bond repair.

It is based on glucose chemistry and has a unique multifaceted mode of action which penetrates deep into the hair cortex to create new hydrogen and ionic bonds. These support the damaged internal keratin structure and strengthen and provide manageability back to the hair fibre.

Factors such as ageing, increased use of modern appliances such as hot irons and blowdryers, and the universal trend of colouring hair, all contribute to damage and weakness to the hair fibres.
