  • Article: ERYLITE® Erythritol – Boosts Hair Conditioner Performance
    f a c t s ERYLITE® Erythritol boosts hair conditioner performance Introduction Many people like to finish their hair cleansing routine with a conditioner. Conditioning leaves hair more manageable, glossier and fragrant, and may as well supply nourishing and repairing substances. Conditioners come with a large range of properties, but they all have one thing in common: they help to improve hair manageability by modifying the cuticle, the surface layer of the hair. Shampoo cleanses hair and scalp by removing sebum, residual styling products, dead cells and dirt, but it can have adverse effects on the cuticle. The cells of the cuticle are arranged somewhat like shingles on a roof. The stress of shampooing causes these shingles to shift slightly, leaving the cuticle itself and also the internal hair structure more vulnerable to damage. Conditioners smoothen the cuticles and restore their natural arrangement, restoring the hair’s natural shield. The hair is once more protected, more manageable and ready for styling. This conditioning effect is achieved through a mix of substances including surfactants, moisturisers, acidifiers, oils and antistatic substances. As previously shown ERYLITE® Erythritol demonstrated very beneficial effects when incorporated into a shampoo formula [1]. These effects range from improved combability and reduced frizz to scalp hydration and improved shampoo performance with increased foamability. This article discusses the advantages of incorporating ERYLITE® into hair conditioners to complement the benefits of ERYLITE® shampoo formulations. ERYLITE® – a fermentation-based polyol for personal care applications ERYLITE® is the first sugar alcohol, also called polyol, to be manufactured using a fermentation-based process. The fermentation and minimum processing make ERYLITE® a very interesting ingredient for end products destined for the “natural” shelf.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the chemical stability of commercially available hair cleansing conditioners subjected to high heat stresses from the styling processes of blow drying or straightening. Two hair cleansing conditioners were subjected to temperatures of 60 ◦C and 185 ◦C to simulate the use of a blow dryer or flatiron hair straightener, respectively and analyzed via Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), High-Performance Liquid Chromatography-UV (HPLC) and Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) to capture a chemical profile of the samples. The resulting spectra from matched heated and unheated samples were compared to identify any changes in chemical composition. Overall, no differences in the spectra were observed between the heated and unheated samples at both temperatures evaluated.
