New from Silab, Agreynist is an anti-free radical and pro-pigmenting active ingredient of plant origin, enabling graying hair to return to its natural color without dyeing it.
With its protective, detoxifying and repigmenting action, Agreynist (INCI name: Butylene glycol & water & ononis spinosa root extract & avena strigosa seed extract) offers a natural solution for gray hair care. Composed of biopeptides and polyphenols, this patented active is available in aqueous solution (recommended amount: 0.5 to 2.5%) and compliant with international cosmetic regulations (Europe, United States, Japan, China, etc.).
According to the company, it restores the oxidative balance of hair, a necessary factor of any anti-graying strategy, not only by reducing the formation of free radicals, but also by activating cell detoxification induced by autophagy; favors repigmentation of the hair fiber by stimulating the synthesis of melanin with its cytoprotective effect; and re-establishes the structural quality of hair resulting from an original modeling study.
In order to address effectively the issue of hair graying, Silab implemented a screening of natural raw materials targeting the indispensable anti-free radical and pro-pigmenting effects. This work led to the identification of two raw materials: black oat seeds (antioxidant and detoxifying) and spiny restharrow roots (pro-pigmenting). The use of green solvents combined with enzymatic bioengineering enabled the optimized extraction of molecules of interest. In Agreynist, Silab concentrated and stabilized the complementary efficacies of these two raw materials obtained from a controlled supply chain, it said.
