Activoil™ Kerox-Pro™
Activoil™ Kerox-Pro™ is a 100% oil-soluble active ingredient, specifically designed for advanced hair care formulations. It is derived from Raphanus sativus seed extract, known for its unique fatty acid profile rich in C22 docosenoic acid, which closely resembles the natural 18-MEA found in hair. This makes it an ideal ingredient for strengthening and protecting hair, while enhancing its overall health and appearance.\nThe addition of Magnolia extract, enriched with honokiol through CO₂ supercritical fluid extraction, increases the antioxidant power of Activoil™ Kerox-Pro™. This combination provides a protective shield that defends the hair from damage caused by styling tools and solar radiation, boosting the hair's antioxidant defenses and preserving its morphological structure.
