PROTECT HAIR WITH GRANREPAIR POWERBOND.

* Grant Industries debuted GranRepair PowerBond, an innovative next generation bond technology that protects, strengthens and repairs damaged hair from harmful effects. Results have shown to last several washing and drying cycles, outperforming the competition in comparative salon tests, said the company.

GranRepair PowerBond protects existing disulfide bonds and as well as reconnects broken ones caused from excessive bleaching, over-treatment, and extreme flat iron use.

Its silicone composition provides increased deposition to the hair with less potential for unwanted wash-off, leading to enhanced performance, outstanding softening, shine and improved wet and dry combing performance, according to Grant.

The material protects the bonds from initial breakage and repairs broken bonds from severe damage without impacting bleaching processes or results. It is designed to be incorporated into both professional salon treatments and at-home maintenance products.

CLR Rolls Out New Cosmetic Active

* Take the all-natural approach toward fighting dark circles with CLR. The company recently launched a new cosmetic active, JuvenEye CLR (INCI: Hieracium pilosella (hawkweed) extract, bellis perennis (daisy) flower extract).

JuvenEye CLR activates vital processes supporting the breakdown of heme, which is both dark-colored and plays an important role in the etiology of dark circles. It also activates dermal draining, through its ability to increase the production of VEGF-C. With the use of JuvenEye CLR melanin deposition in the skin is reduced and autophagy is activated.

In vivo studies have shown that JuvenEye CLR clearly reduces the visibility of dark circles. Both the color and the surface area of dark circles are reduced significantly.
