vitamins provides the ideal biological activity for personal care
formulations. This active compound provides nourishment to the scalp. It
moisturizes and strengthens damaged and undamaged hair, while energizing and
activating the cells.
What does BeauPlex™ VH consist of?
Vitamin E – the Protector: as a powerful natural antioxidant,
vitamin E protects the hair from the damages caused by UV-induced free
radicals, resulting in colour protection of dyed hair and in the prevention of
split ends and brittle hair.
Vitamin C – the Protective Corrector: as one of the most
effective natural antioxidants, vitamin C (in the form of stable STAY-C 50®
)can protect hair colour from UV radiation.
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) – the Energizer: a necessary component
for cell metabolism, Niacinamide participates in the synthesis of hormones and
proteins. It stimulates blood circulation in the skin and activates the oxygen
transport to hair follicles. This stimulates hair growth and provides an
additional moisturizing and emollient effect.
Calcium Pantothenate (Vitamin B5) – the Moisturizer: the
water-soluble salt of Pantothenic acid is converted into free vitamin B5. It
maintains the moisture level of the hair, stimulates cell growth and tissue
regeneration. Calcium Pantothenate has been shown to stimulate hair growth.
Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) – the Cell Activator: this essential
element for normal cell functioning acts especially in the metabolism of
amino-acids. Vitamin B6 adds to the stimulation of hair growth and keeps the
hair in a healthy state.
Other important hair care vitamin available form DSM Nutritional Products:
• Panthenol - also known as Pro-Vitamin B5, is the most
frequently added active ingredient to hair care products. It improves the
condition of damaged hair, reduces the formation of split ends and gives the
hair long-lasting moisturisation and shine.
• Phytantriol - helps to retain the moisture of the hair by
reducing the loss of water from the hair and protects the hair from mechanical
damage through combing. It also increases the penetration of Panthenol into
the shaft of the hair and lends gloss to dull and damaged hair.
• UV filters - are used to protect hair from the assault of the
UV radiation ranging from pre-mature fading of hair colour to damages of
integrity of hair cuticle.
