Shine, smoothness and naturally derived performance for modern hair care formulations.
With Radiastar® 1436 and Radia® 7798, Oleon offers two innovative ingredients that address these requirements and open up new possibilities for the development of modern hair care products.
Radiastar® 1436: Smoothness and shine without weighing hair down
Radiastar® 1436 (INCI: Isocetyl Isoarachidol) is a plant-based, highly branched Guerbet alcohol with outstanding sensory properties. Thanks to its unique molecular structure, it provides a smooth, silky feel and improves hair manageability without leaving the hair heavy or greasy.
In addition, Radiastar® 1436 supports the formation of a thin protective film on the hair surface. This contributes to enhanced shine and a well-groomed appearance while maintaining a light, non-greasy feel.
Key benefits:
- Enhances shine and smoothness
- Supports the formation of a protective film on the hair
- Pleasant, non-greasy sensory feel
- High oxidative stability
- Plant-based ingredient
Radia® 7798: A natural alternative to high-viscosity silicones
Radia® 7798 (INCI: Propylene Glycol Diheptanoate, Hydrogenated Dilinoleyl Alcohol (and) Ethylcellulose) offers formulators an innovative alternative to high-viscosity dimethicones.
This patented ingredient combines excellent conditioning properties with a soft, silky sensory profile. Due to its high compatibility with oils and other cosmetic ingredients, Radia® 7798 can be used in a wide range of applications, including conditioners, hair masks, leave-in treatments and hair serums.
Particularly noteworthy is its combination of high viscosity and excellent spreadability. Radia® 7798 delivers the luxurious hair feel often associated with silicone-based solutions while providing an innovative alternative for modern formulations.
