Description
Hair Protection Complex
Our Hair Protection Complex is an extremely effective hair conditioner used in high quality shampoos, conditioners, and other hair products. It penetrates deep into the hair follicle where it moisturizes and protects from the inside out, giving hair body and volume. It smooths the outer layers of your hair follicle, leaving it softer, shinier and easier to manage.
It is even more effective on color treated hair. Our Hair Protection Complex uses advanced nanotechnology to reduce its particle size to around 20 nanometers to allow it to easily penetrate the follicle. These micro sized molecules are designed to find and latch onto pigment particles, either from natural or artificial hair coloring. This ability to seek out and attach itself to pigment molecules makes this ingredient an effective hair conditioner.

Technical
This carries a GHS Danger signal word in the formal classification (skin irritation Category 2, serious eye damage Category 1). The SDS's own toxicology testing found only slight eye irritation and no evidence of skin harm under normal use — both figures are reported here rather than just one. Wear gloves and eye protection when handling in concentrate.
