Study shows hair benefits
A clinical study on Sabinsa’s patented hair serum formulation was found to significantly improve hair fall and thinning. “Clinical Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of a Hair Serum Product in Healthy Adult Male and Female Volunteers with Hair Fall” was published in Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology (2020:13 691–700). The study, an open-label
clinical trial, evaluated the efficacy and safety of Sabinsa’s hair serum in healthy adult male and female subjects. The serum, a multi-patented composition of amla extract (Saberry), freeze- dried coconut water (Cococin), and the micronutrient selenium (PeptiSeLect (γ-L-Glutamyl-L- selenomethionine) along with sandalwood and peanut shell extract, was evaluated in 42 subjects for a period of 90 days. Apart from self and dermatological assessment, TrichoScan, an instrument and
software-based tool, was used to quantitatively assess the hair growth. A noticeable improvement
was observed in hair growth rate and hair density, while hair fall and thinning were significantly reduced at the end of 90 days. With continuous application of the test product, a 57% reduction in breakage of hair and 81% reduction in hair fall were observed by the dermatologist, while the TrichoScan analysis revealed significant improvement in hair density and growth. All the subjects reported overall improvement in hair texture and hair volume with reduced hair fall. No adverse events were reported. The product is currently
licensed to Johara Cosmetics, but Sabinsa plans to open the license to this patented combination to customers worldwide, under the trademark, AMIFERA™, soon.
New orange peel wax
KahlWax has released a new natural fruit wax derived from the peel of oranges. The raw material is paired with berry wax, another natural fruit wax, to create a product that combines skin care with texture-enhancing and stabilising properties. The resulting KahlWax 6698
Orange is a versatile cosmetic raw material with a distinctive citrus scent, which is suitable for hair and skin care products, where it provides smoothness, combability, and shine, and for colour cosmetics where it improves gloss and colour brilliance. Due to the current situation, the official market launch was postponed to September and is now taking place digitally. The semi-solid orange peel wax surrounds the fruit,

protecting it against environmental influences like high temperatures and insects. Berry wax is a soft, pale wax derived from berry fruit peels of the Rhus Verniciflua tree. Due to its unique structure, it is able to reinforce crystal structures, thus increasing the texture and hardness of KahlWax 6698 Orange to ease its use. Berry wax additionally improves sensorial attributes and works as a re-fatting agent.
