Hair Growth, Fuller Lashes
GROWTH Oléoactif® is a natural oil-based active ingredient dedicated to hair and eyelash beauty care. Made of powerful molecules from roselle flowers (Hibiscus sabdariffa) and safflower florets (Carthamus tinctorius) extracted in sunflower oil, GROWTH Oléoactif® is a multifunctional botanical complex that targets the biological pathways involved in hair follicle life cycle. Obtained through the patented Oléo-éco-extraction technology, it is eco-designed, totally safe and COSMOS-certified, with proven efficacy at 2%.

Thermo-Protective
Hair’s appearance, color and radiance should be protected from the heat of hair dryers and straighteners and from the sun’s UV rays. Without protection, hair becomes dehydrated, devitalized, brittle and dull. HAIR Oléobooster® is a micro-structured oil-based extract stabilized by Oléo-éco-extraction, a patented green process. A fusion of tamarind, shikakai and coconut oil, HAIR Oléobooster® offers proven protection against sun and heat damage while maintaining colour and radiance thanks to its coconut oil-vectorized antioxidants.
Tamarind and shikakai have been used for hundreds of years by Indian women to protect and nourish their hair because these plants are rich in powerful antioxidants. Coconut oil is a natural oil rich in MCTs (medium chain triglycerides) containing fatty acids, such as lauric acid, which have a high oxidative stability. MCTs have a high affinity with hair proteins because of their low molecular weight and linear molecular chains. They are able to penetrate the hair fiber more quickly and deeply than longer chain fatty acids.
Hair temperature, after a unique application of 3% HAIR Oléobooster® cream, was measured on ten natural hair locks from European origin and compared to a placebo cream. A significant hair thermo-protective effect of the cream with 3% HAIR Oléobooster® was demonstrated. The increase in hair temperature was reduced by 8.6°C immediately after one minute of hair dryer use, and by 4.3°C one minute after the end of drying versus the placebo).

Hair Damage Reduction
Oliwax® has a demonstrated ability to reduce damages due to hair brushing at 1%. Oliwax® confers a highly regular appearance to the external structure of the hair shaft and to hair’s scales. Palm free and COSMOS approved.

Biomimetic Multifunctional O/W Self-Emulsifier for Extra Conditioning
COSMOS-validated Olivem® 1000 MB is a PEG-free self-emulsifying multifunctional ingredient (white to ivory waxy flakes at 20°C, melting point ~ 70°C). 
In addition to its many skin care applications, Olivem® 1000 MB can be used in hair care formulations such as crème rinse and leave-in conditioners, improving wet combability as demonstrated by clinical testing. It is also effective as the emulsifying base for more traditional hair conditioner formulae that use cationic ingredients, broadening its scope of applicability.
The recommended use level for Olivem® 1000 is 3 – 5% in o/w emulsions as the sole emulsifier and 0.5 – 2% as a co-emulsifier.

Hair Shine and Fiber Alignment
Sensolene® Light ET has a proven positive effect on hair shine, hair alignment and dry combing.
Palm free, 100% natural origin, COSMOS-approved, globally-compliant, sustainable alternative to silicones.
