Provital Unveils Innovative Hair Care Solutions at IFSCC Congress
At the recent 33rd IFSCC Congress, Provital showcased its latest advancements in the hair care industry, presenting two groundbreaking research projects.
The first research focused on the extract of Palmaria palmata seaweed, an innovative ingredient designed for fragile hair. This seaweed extract increases hair volume and strength, repairs split ends, and provides protection against environmental factors and harmful hair products. Moreover, it acts on three fronts: strengthening hair fibers, increasing hair volume, and reducing split ends.
Provital's Palmaria palmata extract is part of the company's commitment to innovation in the increasingly important hair care industry. The development of this extract is a major step forward, as it makes hair less porous and healthier, protecting the hair fiber from damage even after gentle washing, and providing softness and hydration to the hair, resulting in a healthier and more attractive appearance.
The second hair care research by Provital involves the use of seaberry fruit extract (Rosa canina) for nourishing hair. Seaberry fruit extract is aimed at protecting hair subjected to daily damaging routines and aggressions, such as environmental and mechanical stresses, chemical and physical treatments that cause fiber damage.
Research conducted by Provital has demonstrated that rosehip extract can restructure hair hydrophobicity after damage. To evaluate the potential effects, the contact angle formed by a water droplet on all braids was measured, and images were taken at different times and analyzed later. The results were conclusive, showing that the rosehip extract can restructure hair hydrophobicity after damage.
The use of seaberry extracts and a focus on hair strength through an algae extract are significant advancements in the field of hair care. Provital's recent hair care research features formulations incorporating marine-derived ingredients such as algae and seaberry extracts, leveraging their bioactive compounds to enhance hair and scalp health.
In a study comparing a leave-in serum containing the Palmaria palmata extract enriched with arginine to a placebo, the results showed that the extract was effective in treating fragile hair, significantly increasing hair diameter, hair breakage strength, and reducing split ends by four times compared to the placebo.
Another innovation presented by Provital at the 33rd IFSCC Congress was the KerascalpTM active, which allows the discovery of a new mechanism to target hair miniaturization, making it the collagen-inducing hair ingredient to target this problem.
The 2023 theme of the IFSCC is "rethinking science," and Provital's commitment to advancing cosmetic and hair care science is evident in its latest research and development. The company's focus on natural, effective, and environmentally friendly products aligns with the increasing demand for multifunctional and eco-conscious cosmetic ingredients.

The groundbreaking research conducted by Provital at the recent IFSCC Congress incorporated marine-derived ingredients such as algae and seaberry extracts into their formulation, as seen in both the Palmaria palmata and seaberry fruit extract research projects. These formulations work to enhance hair and scalp health, promoting health-and-wellness through innovative science in the hair care industry.
Additionally, the company's research focusing on the algae extract has proven effective in increasing hair volume, hair diameter, and reducing split ends, while seaberry fruit extract has been demonstrated to restructure hair hydrophobicity after damage, contributing to formulations that maintain hair health and appearance.
