Figure 3: Percentage change in shine from initial after five applications of placebo and 1% olive-derived ester in shampoo formulations on UV- damaged Indian hair
(****p<0.0001 versus initial), whereas the upcycled silicone alternative shampoo resulted in a 25.77% improvement (****p<0.0001 versus placebo and ****p<0.0001 versus initial). Figure 4 shows the graphical representation
of the percentage change from the initial lustre readings.
Visual assessment of the hair tresses after
five applications also supports these findings, with images showing enhanced shine in the hair treated with the upcycled silicone alternative shampoo compared to the placebo (Figure 5). These results combined indicate that the
upcycled silicone alternative is effective in enhancing both shine and lustre in UV- damaged hair, outperforming the placebo shampoo both quantitatively and qualitatively.
Skin Sensory Evaluation A skin sensory evaluation was conducted to assess the following characteristics: spreadability, absorption, tackiness, greasiness, smoothness, moisturization, softness, protective film, uniform film, and shine. In a single blind study, eighteen volunteers
were given 0.1 mL of a placebo cream with 2% dimethicone and a placebo cream with 2% olive-derived ester. Panelists rubbed products into designated sites on the volar forearm in a circular motion until absorbed. Panelists were then asked to rank sensory attributes from 1 to 10 on a low to high scale.
Results The results indicate olive-derived ester has a similar sensory profile compared to dimethicone, specifically regarding smoothness, softness, and moisturization, as seen below in Figure 6. The upcycled silicone alternative is a comparable substitute for the sensory benefits that are characteristic to dimethicone in skin care formulations.
