AI Summary (NQ-processed)
Kracie Co., Ltd. (Home Products Company) has developed a new technology to restore the natural supple and beautiful movement of hair. Through a newly developed analysis technique using high-speed cameras, they clarified that heat damage from hair irons impairs hair movement by reducing a "viscous component" essential for settling vibrations. They successfully identified "lauroyl glutamate di(phytosteryl/octyldodecyl)" as a key ingredient that restores this viscosity, mimicking the Cell Membrane Complex (CMC), thereby enabling hair to regain its original supple movement. This technology is planned for application in hair care products launching in Autumn 2026 and will be presented at the IFSCC Congress 2026.
