Tales from Nature
Succinic Acid occurs naturally in many fruits (especially when unripe) and in various types of vegetables (such as lettuce). It is also extracted from natural Amber and has antioxidant power and helps cell reproduction, as well as having exfoliating properties.
Hair Benefits
Succinic Acid is a valuable hair perfector that works on three fronts:
-
Restructuring: helps rebuild salt bridges within the cortex, strengthening the fiber and preventing breakage.
-
Detoxification and light: gently exfoliates the scalp by removing impurities and regulates pH, closing the cuticles for crystal-clear shine and light hair.
- Antioxidant power: inhibits free radicals and protects hair (and skin) structure from oxidative stress caused by pollution and UV rays, preserving cellular vitality.
