Seppic has launched Xylishine, a new hair repairing and moisturising active ingredient.
Xylishine is a bioinspired association of natural sugars mainly from wood and from the brown algae, Pelvetia canaliculata. Sugars, derived from wood hemicellulose, have a high water absorption capacity. They enable to strengthen cell walls structure, and contribute to the plant flexibility. Pelvetia contains sugars that are in charge of maintaining the vital hydration of the seaweed to survive during summer dryness. In autumn, Pelvetia can instantly gorge itself with water to reactivate all its biological activities. Inspired by nature, the composition of Xylishine is able to reproduce the properties of the living world to restore the shine and the flexibility of hair.
In ex vivostudies, in rinse-off and leave-on applications, Xylishine at 3% repairs the hair fibre and restores the deep moisture of damaged hair: up to + 30% hydration in the core of the fibre giving hair back its shine
Two in vivostudies were performed: one leave-on lotion on Brazilian hair and one rinse-off shampoo on Caucasian hair. Xylishine at 3% significantly boosts hair shine and helps define curls of frizzy hair.
Xylishine is worldwide compliant, including China (IECIC listed). It is easy to incorporate into any type of hair formulations (shampoos with/without cationics, conditioners, spray...).
