ORMADRY CLC

Realigns the cuticles and protects the fibrils of hair. ORMADRY CLC. Cf is obtained from red and brown seaweeds of the Rhodophyceae and Phaeophyceae classes, respectively. The algae are selected, extracted and dryed, resulting in a pure, powdery, stable ingredient with high cosmetic activity and compatible with complex formulations such as bleaching powders, hair colors and straighteners, without compromising their characteristics and properties.

Technical Details & Test Data

Mechanisms of Action on Proteins

ORMADRY CLC forms a network of polysaccharides around the shaft, binding to keratin through ionic bonds mediated by divalent ions such as calcium or magnesium, or through acid-base saline bonds, being efficient over a wide pH range.

ORMADRY CLC - Mechanisms of Action On Proteins

 

  1. Ionic bonds between positively charged sites on proteins and the anionic sites of sulfated polysaccharides and polyuronic acids.
  2. Salt formed between two carboxyl groups (one of the protein and the other of the polyuronic acids) and divalent salts, such as calcium and magnesium ions (present in algae).
  3. Hydroxyl groups of the biopolymer attract water to the capillary surface by hydrogen bonding, forming a layer of water “attached” to the keratin.
Mechanism of Action on Hair Shaft

Alignment and Protection

1. Virgin Hair

ORMADRY CLC - Mechanism of Action On Hair Shaft

                                                        Positioned cuticles.

 

2. Discoloration Oxidant Medium/ Alkaline pH

ORMADRY CLC - Mechanism of Action On Hair Shaft - 1

                        Opened cuticles. Bleaching action. Proteins removal / Loss of mass.

 

3. Ormadry CLC.CF Mechanism of Action

ORMADRY CLC - Mechanism of Action On Hair Shaft - 2

    Increases capillary mass. Protects the fibrils. Realigns the cuticles. Seals the moisture inside the shaft.

 

4. Ormadry CLC.CF Mechanism Of Action

ORMADRY CLC - Mechanism of Action On Hair Shaft - 3                                                       Positioned cuticles. Hydration. Shine.
Cuticle Realignment

Observation of cuticle alignment in hair through Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM).

Hair Before Treatment
