How cells respond, adapt & remember

In biology, no process happens in isolation. And ageing is not the result of a single mechanism. From plant stress biology to the science of skin longevity.

Hard water, hair and chelating cosmetics. What does “chelating” actually mean?

Sometimes you change cities and your hair changes too. One cause can be something very simple: water.

Skin pH — the number that quietly runs everything

The surface of healthy skin is acidic. Average stratum corneum pH sits around 4.7–5.5, and on some body sites it drops below 4.5. That is not an accident or a side effect — it is an actively maintained state, and the body spends energy keeping it there.

The skin barrier only works in an acidic environment

“Damaged barrier” sounds like a metaphor. It is not. The epidermal barrier is a physical structure: corneocytes stacked like bricks, and between them a mortar of lipids arranged in multilayered sheets — ceramides, cholesterol and free fatty acids in tightly set ratios.

Chelation — the ingredient you never see, without which the rest does not work

On an INCI list it usually sits in the second half, at a low level, with an unpronounceable name. Nobody advertises it. In hard water it decides whether the rest of the formula will work.

Inulin — a prebiotic that feeds the scalp microbiome

Inulin is a polysaccharide — a chain of fructose units ending in glucose. It occurs naturally in chicory root, Jerusalem artichoke, garlic and onion. In food it is a soluble fibre. In a cosmetic it does two jobs at once.

Fiberhance and trehalose — strengthening hair without coating it

On our labels you will find a pair of ingredients: Hydroxypropyl Gluconamide and Hydroxypropylammonium Gluconate. That is the technology known commercially as fiberHance BM. It is worth knowing exactly what it does — because the mechanism differs from everything previously used to “repair” hair.
