Description

FSS ProCutiGen® Vegan Thermal Shield is a next-generation, protein-based thermal protectant designed to proactively shield the hair fiber from heat styling stress. Derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast), this innovative lipopeptide ingredient uses the principles of synthetic biology to self-assemble into a protective neo-cuticle—mimicking the natural structure and function of keratin. Unlike traditional products that aim to repair damage after it occurs, FSS ProCutiGen® Vegan Thermal Shield offers a preventative “ProBonding” strategy, reinforcing the hair cuticle before thermal or environmental stress can compromise its integrity.

Whether blow drying, flat ironing, or curling, heat can weaken cysteine bridges in the hair, causing porosity, dryness, and eventual breakage. FSS ProCutiGen® Vegan Thermal Shield preserves the cuticle by forming a scaffold of bivalent cationic peptides that lock into the anionic hair surface, reinforcing structure while retaining moisture and flexibility. Rich in thermal-resistance factors, this yeast-derived active not only limits protein loss during styling but also provides moisture balance, barrier protection, and pollution defense. Scientifically tested and supported by multiple assays, this vegan and NATRUE-certified ingredient is ideal for use in shampoos, conditioners, leave-ins, and thermal styling products that prioritize both performance and clean formulation.

Made Of:

FSS ProCutiGen® Vegan Thermal Shield is made from Saccharomyces cerevisiae extract, a yeast-derived lipopeptide selected for its thermotolerance and ability to mimic keratin-like performance in hair applications.

Why It’s Perfect for You:

Perfect for brands who want to move beyond reactive “bond repair” claims and deliver a proactive, protein-based solution for thermal protection. FSS ProCutiGen® Vegan Thermal Shield allows clean beauty haircare brands to formulate with a vegan, NATRUE-approved ingredient that effectively protects against flat irons, blow dryers, and curling tools—without compromising hair feel or integrity. Its ability to mimic keratin performance using biotechnology provides a science-forward alternative for strengthening and shielding the cuticle before damage occurs.

Suggested Applications

This active is ideal for thermal protection sprays, styling creams, pre-flat iron mists, conditioning masks, smoothing shampoos, and strengthening conditioners. It’s especially suited for formulas aimed at preventing heat-induced breakage and restoring cuticle integrity before styling.
