Hair Fiber Integrity Adapted to All Hair Types

Hair fiber integrity is defined by a complex structural scaffold, primarily composed of keratin proteins and lipids, which ensure strength, elasticity, and resilience. However, chemical treatments, heat, UV exposure, and environmental stressors can compromise this structure, leading to protein degradation, lipid depletion, increased porosity, and weakened fibers.

At OxiProteomics, we offer cutting-edge efficacy testing to scientifically assess how hair care formulations protect, repair, and reinforce hair fiber integrity. Our advanced analytical approaches evaluate: keratin preservation to prevent structural breakdown, lipid barrier protection for moisture retention and fiber flexibility.

Recognizing the diversity of hair types and ethnicities, we have developed tailored testing protocols to assess fiber integrity across various hair structures, ensuring that formulations meet the specific needs of different hair types.

EXPLORE OUR INNOVATIVE TESTING

This image visualizes the impact of pollution and UV-A stress on the structural integrity and porosity of ethnic hair.

  • Left panel: Exposure to pollution and UV-A radiation disrupts the hair structure, leading to a less intense and uneven fluorescent signal. This suggests increased porosity and compromised structural integrity, making the hair more vulnerable to damage and breakage.
  • Right panel : The product effectively mitigates the negative effects of pollution and UV-A, as shown by the restored fluorescence intensity and uniformity. This indicates improved structural integrity and reduced porosity, offering protection against environmental damage.

SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN RESULTS

This visual evidence is essential for:

✔ Demonstrating product efficacy in protecting hair fibers from environmental stressors, preserving its structural integrity, and reducing porosity.


✔ Substantiating claims on hair strengthening, nourishing,  damage repair, and protection against pollution, UV exposure, and daily aggressors.

By partnering with OxiProteomics, brands can develop high-performance hair care solutions backed by scientific validation, ensuring credibility and consumer trust.

The porosity of the hair fiber is evidenced by the penetration of a dye. The product show benefits on the structural integrity of the hair by reducing its porosity.

WHO WE ARE

OxiProteomics is a CRO specialized in biomarker assessment providing research services for skin- & hair-care dermo-cosmetics, food supplements, medical devices, and dermatology efficacy evaluation.

Spined-out from Sorbonne University in 2014, our uniqueness is a specific know-how on non-targeted & targeted proteomics approaches adapted to skin and hair evaluation. We support our clients on molecular target identification, target validation, efficacy testing, mechanistic studies, prediction of responders, and biomarkers discovery.

We also propose predictive pre-clinical skin models coupled with spatial proteomics analyses, based on the organ culture of human skin samples. We also able work with clinical samples to perform bio-analysis. We also provide mechanistic investigator-initiator trials with the analysis of biopsies and non-invasive samples.
