24. AMARANTH® IN COSMETIC INDUSTRY
HENKEL - Oil of cereal for the hair
One of the first findings obtained by the scientists with the help of the life cycle simulator was how the
type and quantity of the lipid composition on and inside the hair varies over time. Lipids are natural fats,
which make the hair surface shiny and supple. To do this, the scientists studied the hair after the
artificial aging procedure using biochemical methods. They were ultimately able to characterize the
wear pattern precisely and show which lipids had been ‘washed out’ in the course of time.
This knowledge finally enabled the scientists to carry out a targeted search for a natural active
substance that contains exactly the lipids that the hair loses. They found that the oil of amaranth,
a South American cereal, has roughly the same fatty acid composition as the natural hair lipids and
compensates for the lost lipids. In damaged hair, the missing fatty acids are replaced completely and
individually, so that the hair regains strength, shine and flexibility. Moreover, split ends and hair
breakage are appreciably reduce
