AcquaSeal® Coconut

AcquaSeal® Coconut is derived through the selective fractionation of coconut lipids, creating a concentrated source of Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) and beneficial phytosterols. Unlike Long Chain Triglycerides (LCTs), MCTs are metabolized rapidly by skin cells, crossing the mitochondrial membrane without the need for carnitine. This bioavailable energy source aids in the uptake of vitamins and nutrients, while converting into essential fatty acids that help normalize epidermal lipids. The result is improved skin hydration, softness, and overall barrier integrity. It also enhances the texture and conditioning properties of hair without buildup or residue.

MADE OF:

AcquaSeal® Coconut is composed of refined coconut-derived lipids, particularly Medium Chain Triglycerides (like caprylic/capric triglyceride), combined with non-estrogenic phytosterols. This unique composition supports lipid metabolism, barrier repair, and hydration in skin and hair care products — making it ideal for clean, performance-driven beauty formulations.

Scientifically Proven:

💧 Superior Hydration Potential: AcquaSeal® Coconut can hold up to 200% of its weight in water, making it a natural alternative to lanolin. It outperformed avocado sterols (+46%), petrolatum (+37%), and jojoba oil (+172%) in water-holding capacity.

🛡 Pollution Protection: In a micronized carbon residue assay, AcquaSeal® Coconut formed a barrier that limited pollutant deposition, helping defend skin from environmental stressors and slow extrinsic aging.

📊 TEWL Reduction: A 3-week study showed AcquaSeal® Coconut decreased Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) by 17% vs. base cream and by 93% vs. untreated control, confirming its role in reinforcing the skin barrier over time.

⏱ 24-Hour Moisture Retention: AcquaSeal® Coconut improved skin moisturization by 150% after 24 hours vs. untreated control and by 14% compared to base lotion, validating its long-lasting hydration benefits.

💆‍♀️ Haircare Efficacy (Salon Study): In a salon half-head study, the inclusion of 2.0% AcquaSeal® Coconut in both shampoo and conditioner formulations led to significant improvements in overall hair quality. Participants experienced a 56% increase in shine, 63% better dry combability, and a 69% improvement in wet combability. Additionally, smoothness improved by 68%, hydration by 50%, softness by 59%, and manageability by 65% compared to control products. The study also showed that AcquaSeal® Coconut effectively helped tame excessive volume and reduce frizz, contributing to smoother, more manageable hair.

🧴 Overall Moisturization: Across multiple studies, AcquaSeal® Coconut demonstrated consistent improvement in hydration, TEWL, and skin feel — confirming its ability to support a healthy, resilient skin barrier and visibly improve texture.
