- Key Features
Cosmetic active ingredient that synergizes the action of Daikon (Raphanus Sativus) Seed Extract and Magnolia Officinalis Bark Extract to protect hair (ultrastructure, color and antioxidant pool) against damage due to dyeing, oxidative stress and UV exposure. It maintains hair mechanical properties and brightness after heat stress.

Storage & Handling
- Shelf Life
- 3 Years
- Storage and Shelf Life Conditions
- In original sealed containers, in a cool and dry place, protected from light.
- Cloudiness or sedimentation is normal and may be resolved by rotating the unopened drum.
