Introduction

This article covers the various hair care actives available from Cerium Chemicals, aimed at formulators and brand owners in East Africa. Understanding these ingredients can help you enhance the effectiveness of your hair care formulations.

Amaprot

Amaprot is designed to nourish and condition hair, improving detangling and combing properties in both wet and dry conditions. It helps to reduce breakage and restore softness, making it a valuable addition for products focused on hair health and manageability.

Baicapil

Baicapil is an active ingredient that promotes hair growth. It is known to increase hair density and thickness, prevent hair loss, and visibly improve the volume and appearance of hair. Formulators targeting hair growth or density enhancement may find this ingredient particularly useful.

Hydrolyzed Cereals

This blend of soy, wheat, and maize proteins works to restructure the hair shaft, softening the hair while providing shine. Hydrolyzed cereals also create a protective film on the hair, which can be beneficial for maintaining overall hair health and appearance.

Hydrolyzed Oat Protein

Hydrolyzed oat protein serves multiple purposes, including protecting hair from environmental damage. It repairs and conditions hair, reduces breakage, and increases elasticity, making it an ideal choice for products aimed at strengthening hair and improving its resilience.

Keramare

Keramare offers heat protection properties and aids in the deep reconstruction of hair keratin fibers. This active strengthens hair and enhances its elasticity while providing shine and hydration. It is particularly suitable for heat-styling products that require added protection for hair.

Keranutri

Keranutri is formulated to increase hair thickness, strength, and volume. It repairs dry and weak hair, helps prevent breakage, and reduces frizz while brightening the hair. This makes it a versatile active for various formulations targeting different hair concerns.

Kerascalp

Kerascalp is a dual-active ingredient that promotes a healthy scalp while strengthening hair. It addresses signs of scalp ageing, rebalances the scalp environment, and helps to reduce and prevent premature greying and hair loss. This ingredient is particularly relevant for formulations focused on scalp care and hair vitality.

Keratrix

Keratrix is known for its ability to repair the inner structure of hair. It reduces breakages and split ends, improves elasticity and resilience, and shields against external damage. This makes it an essential ingredient for products aimed at repairing and protecting hair.

Nori Complex

Derived from seaweed, Nori Complex strengthens hair and prevents frizz. It is rich in proteins and amino acids, offering a long-lasting effect that can enhance the overall quality of hair. This active is suitable for formulations focused on nourishment and protection.
