STEARYLDISULFIDEHEXYL SH-DNA-2 PEG-45/SH-RNA-1

Description

STEARYLDISULFIDEHEXYL SH-DNA-2 PEG-45/SH-RNA-1 is an innovative biomimetic compound designed for advanced haircare formulations. This complex molecule combines the structural properties of DNA and RNA with the hydrating capabilities of PEG (polyethylene glycol) to create a multifunctional ingredient that targets hair health at the molecular level.

The compound's sulfur-rich disulfide bonds mimic the natural bonds in hair keratin, allowing it to penetrate and strengthen the hair shaft. Its DNA and RNA components provide a template for repair and protection against environmental stressors, while the PEG-45 element ensures optimal moisture retention and improved manageability.

STEARYLDISULFIDEHEXYL SH-DNA-2 PEG-45/SH-RNA-1 has demonstrated efficacy in reducing hair breakage, enhancing shine, and improving overall hair texture. It is particularly beneficial for chemically treated or heat-damaged hair, as it helps rebuild the hair's internal structure and protective outer layer.

This ingredient is compatible with a wide range of haircare formulations, including shampoos, conditioners, and leave-in treatments. Its stability across various pH levels and temperatures makes it a versatile choice for formulators seeking to create high-performance haircare products.
