Amino acids are the building blocks of all proteins,
including the hair protein, keratin.
The amino acids that make up keratin are distributed
in such a way that hair always carries a negative charge when in contact with water (or any non-acidic
solution).
Almost all hair products are negatively charged and
therefore their actives and the hair repel each other.
Nanothik utilises the hair's negative charge to its
advantage by encapsulating the thickening active in a positively
charged delivery system.
Once inside the core of the hair shaft, the delivery
vehicle bursts, releasing maximum amounts of thickening active and
water right where it is most effective.

All thickening products contain D-Panthenol to grab water and swell
the hair shaft. Nanothik however, binds the thickening active into
a unique delivery system to increase absorption by up to 10 times.
In this test, the D-Panthenol thickening active was combined with
a fluorescent marker to visually show the amount of actives absorbed.
