LISSELINI
LISSELINI is an ingredient based on the combination of soluble fibers with bioadhesive properties, proteins rich in arginine and biopolymers rich in polyhydroxylated acids. LISSELINI has an anti-frizz instant action, aligns hair fibers and protects hair fibers from heat damage.
INCI NAME
Linum Usitatissimum (Linseed) Seed Extract, Algin, Glyceryl Oleate Citrate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Sodium Benzoate and Potassium Sorbate
Anti frizz
A protective network for hair fibers
The unique technology developed by Assessa enables the biopolymers of LISSELINI, obtained from flaxseed and combined with a linear polyuronan with a unique “eggbox-like” structure, to form a system in which a linear polymer creates a matrix to build a network on a molecular scale with other polymers. This system is known as semi-interpenetrating polymeric network (SIPN).

(Semi-Interpenetratingpolymeric network)
The formation of this network creates a 100% natural biomaterial with exceptional cosmetic properties. This structured system forms a protective network that involves each hair fiber, contributing to it’s alignment with the other fibers to reduce hair frizz.
In addition to these benefits LISSELINI protects the hair against thermal degradation caused by the use of hair dryers and modeling irons, helping to keep hair smooth, healthy and shiny.
LISSELINI improves combability up to 41%
Tests showed that using 2% LISSELINI in a shampoo increased hair combability by 41%.

Tests
Anti-Frizz
LISSELINI is a potent anti-frizz. The tresses subjected to the treatment (application of a formula with 3% LISSELINI and massage for 60 seconds) showed a 40% reduction in frizz when compared to a placebo formula.
Alignment of hair strands “Smoothing” Effect
The samples were protoghaphed and the original images were converted to a grayscale. The smoothing effect was calculated by determining the direction of the hair fibers and calculating the alignment index.
After 60 sec of massage with a formula with 3% LISSELINI the treated hair showed an increase of 55% in the alignment index when compared to the control group. Hair treated with LISSELINI showed an alignment index 1.6 times higher than the control group.
Hair Gloss
Hair tresses were treated with a shampoo, conditioner and leave-on using 1% of LISSELINI in all formulas. The results shows that LISSELINI promotes a 16% increase in hair gloss after a single application, when compared to the placebo.
Thermal protection
LISSELINI increases the temperature of keratin degradation from 229ºC to 238ºC in a single application. LISSELINI increases the resistance of hair keratin to thermal degradation by 44%.
