HairPLEX 25 ml

HairPLEX functional ingredient for maintaining disulfide bonds and strengthening hair structure

HairPLEX is a specialized cosmetic active designed for hair care formulations and professional hair treatment systems. The ingredient is developed to support the integrity of disulfide bonds within the keratin structure of hair during chemical processing and daily hair care routines. The material typically appears as a clear to light amber water soluble liquid with low viscosity. It dissolves readily in water and hydro glycolic systems and is incorporated into the aqueous phase or added during the cooling stage of emulsions. The ingredient is compatible with surfactants, conditioning polymers and humectants, making it suitable for scalable cosmetic manufacturing.

Properties and hair performance

In shampoos, conditioners and masks HairPLEX distributes evenly across the hair surface and supports the structural integrity of keratin fibers. In cosmetic formulations it contributes to smoother hair appearance and improved elasticity. The base texture remains clear or slightly opalescent depending on the formulation system. Hair appears denser and shinier in balanced cosmetic formulations.

Industry applications

HairPLEX is used in professional hair coloring and bleaching systems, restructuring masks, conditioners, serums and scalp care formulations. It is suitable for salon products, functional hair care ranges and advanced cosmetic development. The ingredient is compatible with private label and contract manufacturing thanks to stable aqueous incorporation and reproducible performance in serial production.

Formula example

HairPLEX 35 g
Purified water 950 ml
Glycerin 70 g
Propanediol 50 g
Betaine 30 g
Panthenol 10 g
Preservative system 2 g

Purified water is mixed with glycerin and propanediol until a homogeneous base is obtained. Betaine is then incorporated and dissolved completely. HairPLEX is added under moderate mixing until evenly distributed throughout the system. Panthenol and the preservative system are introduced with continuous stirring. The pH is adjusted to a balanced range suitable for hair care formulations. The result is a clear aqueous conditioning base suitable for hair serums and treatment products.

HairPLEX is designed for B2B manufacturers of professional hair cosmetics, formulation laboratories and contract production facilities. It ensures formulation stability, compatibility with industrial processes and reproducible performance in scalable production environments.
