Chemyunion's Iselight (INCI: Propanediol (and) Coffea Arabica (Coffee) Seed Extract (and) Myrothamnus Flabellifolia Leaf Extract (and) Water (Aqua)) acts on the root causes of age blemish/spot formation and promotes the homeostasis of the cellular detoxification system, autophagy and proteasome activity, which are capable of reducing toxins and dysfunctional cellular biological components.
Iselight is a concentrated plant extract made from Myrothamnus flabellifolia, the "resurrection plant" known in traditional African medicine, and Coffea arabica, a source of antioxidants derived from the upcycling process.
Chemyunion developed Restart PRO (INCI: Water (Aqua) (and) Itaconic Acid (and) Arginine (and) Panthenol (and) Linum Usitatissimum (Linseed) Seed Extract (and) Salvia Hispanica Seed Extract (and) Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate) to protect and repair the hair fiber structure, during or after chemical transformation treatments.
The ingredient is a crosslinking active based on the synergistic association of unsaturated dicarboxylic acid (itaconic acid), amino acid (arginine), pro-vitamin B5 (D-panthenol) and polysaccharides extracted from flaxseed and chia seeds.

Restart PRO works simultaneously on three processes for the proactive repair of chemically damaged hair:
These results demonstrate that Restart PRO can promote greater crosslink density due to its ability to react both with amino groups (-NH2) and with sulfhydryls or thiols (-SH) present in keratin, repairing the resistance of capillary fibers during or after chemical bleaching processes, restoring hair strength and protecting or repairing the damage.
Allinea (INCI: Water (Aqua) (and) Lactic Acid (and) Ethyl Linoleate (and) Ethyl Oleate (and) Trehalose (and) Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate (and) Glycolic Acid (and) Magnesium Aluminum Silicate (and) Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil (and) Sodium Lignosulfonate (and) Behentrimonium Chloride) has been previously highlighted for its effects on hair alignment, volume reduction and frizz control. This 100% biodegradable active ingredient supports the upcycling concept by using the repurposed waste from the paper industry.
It has been found the active can control frizz for up to 24 hr and reduce frizz up to 30× within 2 hours of exposure.
