Hair Care Liposomes 

INCI name: water, lecithin, propylene glycol, linoleamidopropyl PG-dimonium chloride phosphate, carrageenans (Chondrus crispus), acrylates C10-30 alkyl acrylates crosspolymer, EDTA 

Use level: 5-10%

Applications: hair care, stressed and damaged hair products, conditioners

Comments: Hair Care Liposomes are positively charged liposomes. This positive charge, provided by the cationic phosopholipid used in the liposomal membrane, allows the liposomes to attach to negatively-charged hair fibers. The electrostatic attraction formed between the hair shaft and the liposome enables the liposome to cling to the fiber, resisting washing and rinsing of the hair. Once the liposome is attached to the hair fiber, its phospholipidic nature allows intercellular internalization to the cortex or to lower layers of the cuticle. The Hair Care Liposomes (HCLs) are manufactured through microfluidizing techniques from vegetable phospholipids. The cationic phospholipid used is also an excellent hair conditioner. The HCLs can increase the delivery of actives to the hair 10-fold. The actives delivered by these liposomes remain anchored to the hair after washing and therefore, can be absorbed into the fiber. It is not recommended to incorporate HCLs into formulations with a high level of tensioactives since the integrity of the liposomes could be affected. A range of standard HCLs are available including HCLs containing vitamin E acetate, D-panthenol or ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate. HCLs should be added during the final step of manufacturing at temperatures between 35-40[degrees]C. The finished formula should not have a pH lower than 4.5.

Tego Cosmo C100

INCI name: creatine 

Use level: 0.5-1.5%

Applications: hair care, stressed and damaged hair

Comments: Creatine is a naturally occurring amino acid derivative that has traditionally been used as a nutritional supplement for its phosphate transporting activity. It has also been found to be a multi-functional cosmetic additive due to its unique molecular structure. Studies show that Tego Cosmo C100 has greater repair efficacy (tensile strength and elasticity) on damaged (permed and color-treated) hair than well-known hydrolyzed keratin and hydrolyzed wheat protein. Tego Cosmo C100 improves the tensile strength of hair by building back electrostatic bonds between amino groups and anionic side chains of the amino acids of the hair. Additionally, Tego Cosmo C100 builds electrostatic bonds between carboxylate group and alkaline side chains of the amino acids of the hair. The increase of these electrostatic bonds in the hair results in increased tensile strength. Tego Cosmo C100 comes in a water-soluble, crystalline form. It is of high purity, with a recommended use level of 0.5-1.5%. Tego Cosmo C100 is a novel new ingredient already shown to be more effective than widely-used hydrolyzed proteins in the repair and protection of damaged hair.
