ProCutiGen® Thermal Shield

ProCutiGen® Thermal Shield ushers in a new era of preventative hair care, going beyond traditional bond-repair systems with a ProBonding approach focused on cuticle preservation. Utilizing synthetic biology, this unique bivalent cationic lipopeptide self-assembles into a neo-cuticle, mimicking the structure and function of the hair’s natural protective barrier.

Unlike treatments that target broken bonds after the damage is done, ProCutiGen® Thermal Shield proactively shields the hair shaft from thermal stress, environmental aggressors, and moisture loss. Derived from keratin and designed to interact with hair’s natural anionic charge, this next-gen ingredient forms a semi-permeable biofilm that maintains hydration, strengthens protein structure, and reduces visible fiber damage.

Whether included in shampoos, conditioners, or styling products, it offers real-time protection and visible repair — making it the ideal solution for anyone exposed to daily heat styling or pollution.

MADE OF:

ProCutiGen® Thermal Shield is composed of keratin-derived bivalent cationic lipopeptides that anchor to the negatively charged surface of the hair shaft. These peptides form a self-assembling biofilm, creating a semi-permeable, flexible scaffolding that mimics the natural cuticle. This biomimetic layer provides thermal, environmental, and mechanical protection, helping to reinforce the hair fiber and prevent protein loss.

Scientifically Proven:

📸 Thermal Damage Reduction – Hirox 3D imaging showed significantly less cuticle damage on hair treated with ProCutiGen® Thermal Shield after heat exposure.

🔬 Neo-Cuticle Formation – SEM analysis confirmed visible formation of a protective cuticle-like film, improving strength and reducing brittleness.

🧪 Anti-Pollution Effect – In lipid peroxidation assays, treated hair showed 51.1% less MDA compared to untreated control, confirming pollution defense benefits.

🧬 Protein Loss Prevention – Thermal Protection Assay showed lower protein degradation in treated hair, demonstrating effective structural reinforcement.

💧 Hydration & Barrier Support – 24-hour moisturization and TEWL studies confirmed improved water retention and enhanced barrier integrity without a dry-down period.
