EFFICACY TESTING FOR HAIR LIPIDS PRESERVATION 

Hair’s natural lipid barrier, including ceramides, plays a vital role in moisture retention, cuticle smoothness, and shine. However, daily stressors like environmental exposure, heat & chemical treatments, deplete these essential lipids, leaving hair dry, brittle, and vulnerable to damage. Consumers increasingly seek science-backed solutions that go beyond surface treatments to actively replenish and protect hair’s lipid barrier.

At OxiProteomics, we provide specialised lipid analysis assays to validate how hair care products preserve ceramides, restore lipid balance, and improve overall hair health. With scientifically proven data, we help brands substantiate strong claims on hair lipid preservation, empowering consumers to choose products that deliver real, measurable benefits for healthy, vibrant hair.

EXPLORE OUR INNOVATIVE TESTING

This image visualizes the impact of heat stress on the lipid layer of the hair cuticle, essential for maintaining hair fiber health and preventing damage. The yellow signal indicates ceramide levels, a key component of hair lipids.

• Before (Heat): Exposure to heat significantly disrupts  ceramide distribution, leading to a patchy and less intense fluorescent signal. This signifies a compromised lipid layer, making the hair more susceptible to dryness, damage, and breakage.
• After: After product application, healthy hair fiber shows a strong and even distribution of ceramides across the cuticle, indicating an intact lipid layer that effectively protects the hair.

SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN RESULTS

Our advanced techniques measure a product’s ability to:

✔ Reinforce the natural lipid barrier for enhanced moisture retention.
✔ Reduce frizz and cuticle damage, promoting smoothness.
✔ Boost shine and resilience, ensuring long-term protection.

OxiProteomics’ expertise enables:

Precisely measuring ceramide levels and assessing the efficacy of products in preserving hair lipids.

Mechanism of action studies: Understanding how a product protects the hair cuticle and its lipid layer from heat damage.
