Method used

The use of a Quercus alba oak bark extract, either as a water or hydro-alcoholic extract, which acts as a repairing and regenerating agent for hair and scalp, improving strength, shine, and sebum production, and is combined with phospholipids like lecithin for enhanced effectiveness on damaged hair types.

Benefits of technology

The oak bark extract significantly improves hair density, reduces grey hair, enhances hair longevity, and improves scalp health by promoting sebum production and soothing dryness, resulting in healthier, stronger-looking hair and scalp.
