CLEVELAND, Ohio – March 28, 2022 –Lubrizol Life Science - Beauty (LLS Beauty). AlgaPūr™ High Stability High Oleic (HSHO) algae has been found to have additional benefits for hair and skin.

AlgaPūr™ HSHO algae oil contains over 90% of beneficial Omega-9 (oleic acid in the form of triglycerides) in a highly stable, liquid-based formula. New testing by LLS Beauty shows that it:

• Nourishes the hair follicle
• Protects against hair fiber lipid degradation upon UV exposure, with antioxidant properties
• Protects colored hair fibers
• Supports the scalp microbiome

These are in addition to the benefits shown by initial testing, which found that AlgaPūr™ HSHO algae oil protects hair fibers from breakage, repairs split ends, provides shine, controls frizz, improves manageability, moisturizes the scalp and smooths hair.

The benefits of AlgaPūr™ HSHO algae oil are not limited to the hair and scalp, however; it also helps the skin.

The ingredient promotes healthy skin through increased moisturization, skin barrier protection, photodamage repair and improved skin barrier protection. Tests show it improves skin hydration 15% within 24 hours of application, decreases transepidermal water loss by 28% over 24 hours and improves elastin synthesis by 200%, among other benefits.

Its light, non-oily texture makes AlgaPūr™ HSHO algae oil ideal for hair care, hair color and scalp formulations and skin care.

This multifunctional ingredient is derived from microalgae originally sourced from chestnut tree sap with a high sustainability profile. It’s vegan and is produced through a fermentation process with a low carbon and water use footprint. It requires little land use and is readily biodegradable.
