Moisturizing Ingredients
Moisturizer is a major component of basic daily skin care, particularly in presence of epidermal barrier alteration and reduced epidermal water content. It is an important part of a dermatologist’s strategy to maintain skin health as well as treating various dermatoses which co-exist with skin dryness and are linked to impaired skin barrier function, such as in atopic disorders as well as other types of dermatitis.

The Science of Hair
The cuticle
The cuticle is generally formed by 6–8 scales thick for Asian hair, slightly less in Caucasian hair and even less in African hair. A thinner cuticle layer makes African hair more prone to breakage.
Cell Membrane Complex
The CMC ( Cell Membrane Complex) are very vulnerable regions to chemical treatments such as bleaching, dyeing and hair straightening. Also, the everyday grooming and shampooing friction may disrupt the CMC.
Exposure
The exposure to repeated rough washing, unprotected drying, friction actions, sunlight…. And chemicals , such as, sulfates, can strip the hair strands and cause breakage. If the shampoo formulas do not present the adequate composition, fiber attrition is aggravated.
Conditioners
Conditioners are used to decrease friction, detangle the hair, minimize frizz and improve combability. The most active and used conditioner agent is a silicone…… and monounsaturated & polyunsaturated fats that are easily absorbed by the hair fiber.
