FSS Vegan Straightening & Curl

Whether the desire is for smooth, straight hair or voluminous curls, consum­ers are interested in hair care products that improve ease of styling and shape retention.

Active Concepts has pioneered a new enzyme technology which allows one to temporarily straighten or curl the hair. FSS Vegan Straightening & Curl not only delivers versatility at the customer’s fingertips, but it has been shown to re­duce styling damage while providing further conditioning benefits.

FSS Vegan Straightening & Curl is an all-natural, vegan ingredient that is capable of modifying hair shape while protecting it from styling damage. This unique ingredient consists of a blend of hydro­lyzed vegetable protein and Trametes versicolor extract. Trametes versicolor is a type of mushroom which contains the oxidative enzyme laccase. This distinct heat activated enzyme cross-links free carboxylic acid groups in the hy­drolyzed vegetable protein with the amine groups along the cuticle to create a stable network that holds the hair’s texture in a given shape.

In order to maintain optimal enzyme activity, FSS Vegan Straightening & Curl should be incorporated into a formulation during the cooling phase or at temperatures below 70°C.

For better results, we recommend using this novel material in leave-on applications such as conditioners, creams and serums.

Contains: Hydrolyzed Corn Protein, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Tramestes Versicolor Extract & Preserved with Leucidal Liquid
