Active Ingredients and Technology
Lendan has always achieved a balance between its commitment to the requirements of its customers and continuing research and development skills.
Lendan, as a pioneer brand, has undertaken not to use ingredients from animals. Instead, safer ingredients from vegetable, marine origin, biotechnological or chemical syntheses are preferred for use in cosmetic formulas.
Below is a list of some of the Active Ingredients and Technology that can be found across the Lendan Professional and Retail Ranges.
- Brazil Nut Oil: rich source of omega-6 and omega-9 essential fatty acids which
provides highly nutritive properties, silkiness, hydration and shine.
- Rich Bran Oil and Sunflower Oil: its high lipid content deeply nourishes the hair
shaft to prevent dehydration.
- Fruit Acid Esters: active moisturizers of vegetable origin that enhance the hair’s
shine and softness.
- Meadowfoam Oil (Limanthes Alba): a seed oil of vegetable origin
that is highly resistant to oxidisation and forms a protective film on
the hair providing it with moisture, shine and softness.
- Nutriseal Silicone: thanks to its instant film effect, Nutriseal Silicone effectively
adheres to damaged areas of the hair to offer maximum repair, restoring hair’s
integrity and softness.
- Polyquat: conditions and repairs the cuticle, reduces degradation of the colour.
- UV filter: a conditioning and repairing polymer that protects the hair from the damage
caused by exposure to the sun, making the colour last longer.
- Pro-Vitamin B5: provides the hair with nutrition and moisture.
- Soya Lecithin: a natural compound that forms a thin film on the hair, increasing the
softness and shine of the hair fibre.
- Hemp Bio-Oil: an emollient, nutritional oil that provides the hair with shine and
moisture.
- Hydra-Smooth Silicone: a hi-tech silicone that facilitates the smoothing process, it
gives the hair exceptional shine and smoothness.
- Body-Shine Silicone: this hi-tech silicone conditions hair without adding weight,
providing instant long-lasting shine and gloss, while leaving hair incredibly manageable.
- Soya Seed Extract (Glycine Soja): has a treatment effect that
strengthens the hair and gives it new life.
- Trichopeptides: aid cell renewal and regulate the flow of the sebaceous glands.
- Retinol: derived from Vitamin “A” present in the growth of tissue in the hair root.
- Extract of Panax Ginseng: activates energy exchange to form new
cells and improve scalp nutrition.
- Liposomes: provide the capacity for in-depth penetration and enrich the cells of the
hair root with active principles.
- Canola Extract (Brassica Napus): an oil with high concentrations of poliunsaturated fatty acids
and esteroles, produces a natural protective effect, reducing skin irritation.
- Cytokines: are small protein fragments which are produced and segregated by the
cells which regulate and stimulate the hair growth cycle.
- Alpha Hydroxy Acids: natural acids obtained from fruit and plants which are able to
restore the moisture lost by hair during the perming process.
- Amanduline (Hydrolyzed Sweet Almond Proteins): is rich in peptides and oligosaccharides
which have a moisturizing effect. Amanduline adheres and covers the capillary fibre.
Its branches of glucides and peptides forms a web which spreads over the surface of
the hair fibre, covering it with an insulating film which protects hair from the environment.
- Zooplankton: stimulates the generation of cellular energy, resulting in the vigorous
growth of new, strong, healthy hair.
- Milk Peptides: re-establish cell communication, which is vital if growth processes are
to function correctly.
