get inside the world of hair
Traveling into the inner-most layers of hair to reach the core polypeptide chains (keratin chains), our revolutionary K18Peptide™ is just the right size and makeup to fit in and reconnect broken chains.
the science
The science is complex but here’s everything you need to know about why K18 is a scientific breakthrough—and how it can bring damaged strands back to their original, youthful state.
When hair gets damaged, the polypeptide chains (keratin chains) that make up the inner structure of hair strands become weakened and break. For context, there are billions and billions of keratin chains in a single strand of hair. When these are damaged, hair’s core structure becomes compromised and, as a result, it loses its strength, elasticity, resiliency, and shine.

the discovery
Our answer to damaged hair? The K18Peptide™. Traveling into the inner-most layers of hair to reach the core polypeptide chains (keratin chains), our revolutionary K18Peptide™ is just the right size and makeup to fit in and reconnect broken chains.
And because our peptide is a bit of an overachiever, as a result of this reconnection, any disturbed disulfide bonds are also re-conformed.

hair strength where it matters
The breakage along the y-axis (length) must be repaired or reconnected in order to restore hair strength and elasticity or as we like to call it: genuinely healthy hair.
