Seppic, a leader in active hair care ingredients, has expanded its portfolio with a new solution designed to enhance hair’s natural beauty: XYLISHINE™C. This innovative active ingredient targets both the scalp and hair cuticles, providing a comprehensive repair solution that addresses the growing demand for healthier, more vibrant hair. As the “skinification” trend continues to bridge the gap between skincare and hair care, XYLISHINE™C offers consumers a new way to achieve shinier, more voluminous, and better-defined hair.
The “Skinification” of Hair Care
The concept of “skinification” refers to the increasing influence of skincare routines on hair and scalp care. Consumers are becoming more aware of the intricate relationship between scalp health and the overall appearance of their hair. Seppic’s XYLISHINE™C responds to this growing trend by offering an active ingredient that not only repairs the hair fiber but also promotes scalp balance.
Traditionally, scalp care was limited to solutions for conditions like dandruff. However, as awareness grows about the broader importance of scalp health, consumers now seek products that treat the scalp as they would their skin. This shift has been particularly evident in China, where 93% of consumers acknowledge the positive impact of scalp care on hair health .
XYLISHINE™C: A Natural, Multi-Tasking Ingredient
XYLISHINE™C is derived from a patented complex of sugar derivatives known for their moisturizing properties in skincare. Combined with Pelvetia Canaliculata, a bio-inspired algae native to France’s Brittany region and renowned for its resistance to dehydration, this active ingredient delivers effective hydration to both the scalp and hair.
XYLISHINE™C is formulated with:
- Xylitylglucoside
- Anhydroxylitol
- Maltitol
- Xylitol
- Pelvetia Canaliculata Extract
This unique blend works to repair the cuticle layer of the hair, which is most vulnerable to environmental damage. By smoothing and restoring the cuticle’s surface, XYLISHINE™C promotes healthier interactions between hair and moisture, resulting in visibly more beautiful hair.
Certified by COSMOS and Natrue, and compliant with Chinese IECIC and IECSC regulations, XYLISHINE™C boasts a naturalness rating of 99.7% according to ISO 16128.
Addressing Hair and Scalp Needs
Beautiful hair begins with a healthy scalp and well-maintained hair fibers. As consumers recognize this connection, scalp care has evolved from a niche concern into a central part of hair care routines. Beyond anti-dandruff treatments, today’s consumers demand products that balance and hydrate the scalp while addressing issues like cuticle damage and fiber roughness.
The trend of skin-inspired hair care has led to a focus on hydration, as healthy hair cuticles need moisture to maintain smoothness and integrity. XYLISHINE™C excels in this area by filling the gaps in the hair cuticle, helping to repair damage and restore moisture.
Proven Efficacy in Hair Fiber Repair
XYLISHINE™C offers a tangible solution to the challenges posed by hair cuticle damage, particularly from environmental stressors like bleaching. The cuticle acts as a protective layer for the hair’s cortex, and damage to this layer can result in rough, lifeless hair. By smoothing the cuticle, XYLISHINE™C helps repair the surface appearance of the hair while restoring its natural interaction with water.
Using advanced XFluo 3D technology, Seppic measured the surface state of keratin cuticles treated with XYLISHINE™C. The results were impressive: after hair was damaged by bleaching, XYLISHINE™C achieved an 82% reparation efficacy, bringing the hair close to its natural state .
Conclusion
XYLISHINE™C represents a significant advancement in the intersection of scalp care and hair beauty. By addressing the dual needs of scalp health and cuticle repair, this active ingredient offers consumers a more holistic approach to achieving vibrant, shiny, and healthy hair. With a focus on natural ingredients and proven results, Seppic’s XYLISHINE™C is set to redefine the way we care for our hair in the context of modern beauty trends.
