Product Description
HairPLEX functional active for strengthening hair structure and protection during chemical treatments
HairPLEX is a functional cosmetic ingredient designed for hair care formulations and professional hair restructuring systems. The active is developed to support the integrity of disulfide bonds within the keratin structure of hair during chemical treatments and daily hair care routines. The material typically appears as a clear to slightly amber water soluble liquid compatible with shampoos, conditioners, masks and salon treatment systems. It dissolves readily in water and hydro glycolic systems and is incorporated into the aqueous phase or added during the cooling stage of emulsions.
Properties and hair performance
In cosmetic formulations HairPLEX supports the structural integrity of keratin fibers and helps maintain hair strength during chemical processing. In hair care systems it contributes to smooth distribution and a refined appearance of the hair surface. Hair appears more elastic, dense and visually shinier when used in balanced formulations.
Industry applications
HairPLEX is used in professional hair care lines, coloring and bleaching support systems, restructuring masks, conditioners, serums and protective treatments. Suitable for salon products, functional hair care ranges and advanced cosmetic formulation development. Compatible with private label and contract manufacturing thanks to stable aqueous incorporation and reproducible performance.
Formula example
HairPLEX 25 g
Purified water 850 ml
Glycerin 60 g
Betaine 25 g
Panthenol 10 g
Polyquaternium 10 2 g
Preservative system 2 g
Polyquaternium 10 is gradually dispersed into purified water under continuous mixing until a uniform gel base forms. Glycerin and betaine are incorporated and mixed until homogeneous. HairPLEX is then added to the aqueous phase and mixed thoroughly for even distribution. Panthenol and the preservative system are introduced while mixing continues. The pH is adjusted to a balanced range suitable for hair care formulations. The result is a clear conditioning base for hair serums and treatment products.
HairPLEX is designed for B2B manufacturers of professional hair care cosmetics and contract manufacturing laboratories. It ensures formulation stability, compatibility with industrial processing and reproducible performance in scalable production systems.
