Evonik has relaunched its TEGO Cosmo C 100 ingredient. The amino acid is said to be identical to the natural creatine that occurs in the skin. It helps to improve the mechanical properties of damaged hair. The ingredient also protects against heat damage and works to rebuild and strengthen the hair from within.
TEGO Cosmo C 100 is particularly effective at repairing curly hair that has been damaged by straightening treatments, and is said to address the different challenges and requirements of various hair ethnicities and qualities, as well as contributing to keeping hair healthy and looking beautiful.
The effectiveness of the ingredient is scientifically proven, according to the company. It was shown that creatine improves the mechanical properties of bleached and straightened hair and protects hair against heat damage, because it rebuilds and strengthens the hair structure from within by building electrostatic bridges.
