Seppic has unveiled its nutricosmetic active ingredient, Ceramosides (INCI: Not Provided) intended for hair care. It is obtained from wheat lipids that provide hair growth, reduction of hair loss, improvement to hair elasticity and more.
Accordng to Seppic, the maintenance and renewal of healthy hair is directly correlated with its lipid composition. This is why ceramides, known for their involvement in the formation of intracellular lipids, play a key role and act as a barrier protecting the hair cuticle.
