What is Amaranthus Seed Extract and how does it benefit hair?
Amaranthus Seed Extract is a hair repairing agent formulated primarily from the seeds of the Amaranthus Caudatus plant, also known as the velvet flower. It contains naturally obtained peptides that enhance the structural integrity of the hair. These lightweight peptides penetrate the hair fibers deeply, increasing the diameter of individual strands and improving overall hair strength without added weight. Additionally, it reduces friction between hair strands, promotes shine, improves manageability, and fortifies the hair, making it ideal for inclusion in shampoos, conditioners, and pre-dry treatments.
Is Amaranthus Seed Extract safe for sensitive scalps and what is its shelf life?
Yes, Amaranthus Seed Extract is suitable for sensitive scalps as it is vegan-certified, GMO-free, gluten-free, and derived from organically grown, pesticide-free materials. It is preservative-free aside from the minimal amount of sodium benzoate used to stabilize it. The product boasts an 18-month shelf life when stored properly.
Can Amaranthus Seed Extract be used in conjunction with other hair care products?
Absolutely. Amaranthus Seed Extract can seamlessly be incorporated into a variety of hair care formulations such as shampoos, conditioners, hair fluids, toners, and pre-dry treatments. Its properties complement other hair care ingredients by fortifying hair without causing build-up, making it an excellent additive for enhancing overall hair product performance.
Apart from hair care, does Amaranthus Seed Extract offer any skin benefits?
Yes, while its primary focus in our formulation is hair care, Amaranthus Seed Extract is rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and peptides known for their potential skin benefits. These include anti-aging properties, hydration, and a protective effect against environmental stressors. It is often utilized in cosmetic formulations targeted at skin care, such as facial serums, due to its emollient and antioxidant characteristics.
How does the peptide content in Amaranthus Seed Extract enhance hair health?
Peptides in Amaranthus Seed Extract play a crucial role in enhancing hair health by penetrating deeply into the hair fibers and increasing the diameter of each strand. This helps to improve hair texture and strength from the inside out, leading to a more voluminous appearance. They also facilitate reduced friction between hair strands, improving fluidity and movement while preventing mechanical damage during styling or brushing.
