Hidrahair Seal SE MB is a biotechnological innovation developed by Chemyunion, offering immediate and long-lasting repair for split ends. Capable of sealing up to 97% of split ends "instantaneously," and maintaining 83% of the repair after 48 hr, this novel ingredient reportedly revolutionizes treatments for hair damage.
Bioadhesive Film-forming Action
As the company explains, Hidrahair Seal SE MB (INCI: Water (Aqua) (and) Propanediol (and) Trehalose (and) Lactic Acid (and) Arginine (and) Pullulan) forms a bioadhesive, flexible and uniform film on the hair surface. This restores texture, strengthens hair fibers and protects against further damage, per the company.
The novel functionality of Hidrahair Seal SE MB stems from its unique composition, which combines polysaccharides (pullulan), an amino acid (arginine), a disaccharide (trehalose) and an organic acid (lactic acid) in an aqueous system with propanediol. The synergy between these materials enables the formation of a bioadhesive film that adheres to rough hair surfaces. This interaction creates a lasting bond, ensuring repair efficacy even under mechanical stress and post-wash conditions.
Proven In vitro and In vivo Benefits
The efficacy of Hidrahair Seal SE MB has been demonstrated through in vitro and in vivo testing. Benefits supported include:
- Immediate repair: Seals up to 97% of split ends after initial application.
- Long-lasting performance: Maintains 83% of repair up to 48 hr post-treatment.
- Resilient film formation:
- Builds a smooth, adhesive and protective layer over the hair fiber.
- Film remains effective after washing and conditioning (rinse-off).
- Reduced breakage:
- Decreases fiber breakage due to brushing by up to 2.6 times.
- Frizz control:
- Reduces frizz and volume immediately, with effects lasting more than six hours.
Formulation Considerations
According to Chemyunion, Hidrahair Seal SE MB can be incorporated into formulations including leave-in products, shampoos, conditioners and masks. Its compatibility with rinse-off products and resilience under mechanical stress make it a versatile addition to any hair care regimen.
With its ability to address a wide range of common hair damage concerns, Hidrahair Seal SE MB enables formulators to create products that offer consumers visible and long-lasting results.
