Active.Lite® Relaxer

Active.Lite® Relaxer is engineered to protect relaxed hair from the structural and mechanical damage caused by traditional chemical treatments. While relaxing agents like sodium hydroxide effectively straighten curls by breaking disulfide bonds, they also compromise keratin integrity, leading to weakened, brittle strands. Active.Lite® Relaxer counters this damage using a three-dimensional hybrid biopolymer that adheres to the hair’s negatively charged surface, reinforcing the fiber during and after the chemical process. Infused with Polyquaternium-80, Pisum sativum peptides, resurrection plant (Selaginella lepidophylla), and Sclerocarya birrea (marula) extract, this ingredient promotes smoother, shinier, and more resilient hair — even under chemical stress.

MADE OF:

Active.Lite® Relaxer combines cationic surfactant technology with plant peptides and antioxidant-rich botanicals. It forms a protective scaffold on chemically treated hair, reducing structural breakdown and helping maintain moisture, elasticity, and visual smoothness — even under harsh salon or at-home relaxing conditions.

Scientifically Proven:

🧴 Cuticle Protection: SEM imaging confirmed that hair treated with Active.Lite® Relaxer (10%) showed visibly less cuticle damage after chemical relaxing compared to untreated relaxed hair. The biopolymer matrix formed a smoothing, sealing layer on the hair shaft, offering clear structural defense.

💪 Breakage Resistance: Tensile strength testing revealed that Active.Lite® Relaxer increased elongation to break by 17% compared to untreated virgin hair, demonstrating improved resistance to breakage and enhanced mechanical durability under stress.

🌟 Surface Smoothing: High-resolution electron microscopy showed a noticeable smoothing effect on the hair fiber surface, indicating improved visual and textural aesthetics including shine, silkiness, and straightness post-treatment.

🔬 Scaffold Matrix Formation: The ingredient forms a visible, protective matrix on the hair fiber, acting as a support system that cushions the hair through chemical relaxer exposure — while still allowing effective straightening action.
