Symrise has developed a state-of-the-art ingredient from natural and sustainable sources to remedy oily scalp and hair. SymControl Scalp reduces the production of sebum on the scalp with visible results in only one week.
“As an expert in hair and scalp care, we make sure that we are always up to date and that we develop highly effective, sustainable solutions for our customers,” says Marcia Paula, global product director for Hair Care at Symrise. “We often find inspiration in nature with its wealth of valuable raw materials.”
After an extensive screening to solve sebum overproduction at its source, Tetraselmis Suecica extract has been selected as highly effective to reduce sebum levels. Combined with the naturally occurring Mannitol, the algae can also protect the scalp and hair from environmental stress. This unique patented combination leaves the scalp and hair feeling clean all day long and also helps to space out hair washes 25% of global consumers are concerned by oily scalp and among them 54% have oily hair as a result of increased sebum production more often. Stress, pollution, UV radiation, nutrition and intensive treatment also take their toll on the scalp. The Symrise innovation provides proven efficacy with visible results: tests confirm that SymControl Scalp makes hair less oily in just one week.
This natural ingredient based on renewable microalgae results from blue biotechnology. Symrise produces the microalgae extract in a sustainable way – with an environmentally friendly production process and gentle extraction methods. The biomass grows outdoors with the aid of solar energy – and sustainably, with up-cycled CO2. “It lies in our DNA to identify innovative modes of action, natural substances and sustainable production,” says Marcia.
