How Beauty is Blurring the Lines Between Hair and Skin Care

Glycuron™ Marshmallow: The Natural Protector in the Urban Jungle

Resilience is the ability to resist, adapt, and thrive amid constant forces. Life on Earth, particularly in cities, is no different. We face myriad external influences that demand protection and adaptation—an interplay of biological resilience that extends even to our skin and hair. Glycuron™ Marshmallow from Seqens offers a natural and effective solution to the challenges of modern skincare and haircare.

The Skinification Trend

Let’s start by understanding where Glycuron™ Marshmallow fits in. The term “skinification” has been bubbling up in the beauty industry lately, and it’s a fitting descriptor for what’s happening to the hair and skincare world. Skinification is a shift in mindset: the realization that caring for hair requires as much sophistication as skincare. Just as the skin battles pollutants, UV radiation, and other exposomal factors, so too does our hair and scalp—they’re part of the same ecosystem. Glycuron™ Marshmallow rides this trend by bringing haircare into harmony with skincare, using nature’s own protective mechanisms to combat urban stressors.

Marshmallow Roots: More Than a Sweet Story

Glycuron™ Marshmallow draws its power from the Althaea officinalis plant, known commonly as marshmallow. Historically, marshmallow roots have been used for soothing purposes, a trait well-documented in herbal remedies dating back to ancient times. Its magic lies in its mucilage—a jelly-like substance found in certain plants that serves as a natural reservoir of polysaccharides. These polysaccharides form a protective barrier, enveloping your hair and skin against environmental aggressors.

The science of Glycuron™ Marshmallow is straightforward: it works by forming an invisible, protective film rich in polysaccharides like glucans and arabinogalactans. Imagine a botanical coating that not only keeps harmful pollutants at bay but also helps retain moisture, enhancing the overall resilience of skin and hair.

Urban Defense for Skin and Hair

In a city, particulate matter from pollution clings to skin and hair like smoke lingering on clothes after a night around a campfire. Glycuron™ Marshmallow tackles this head-on with a dual-action approach.

First, it creates an anti-adhesive effect, preventing up to 18% of pollutant particles from sticking to the skin compared to a placebo. Second, it boosts the removal of those pollutants by 29%, making sure they wash away rather than becoming a permanent part of you.

In haircare, Glycuron™ Marshmallow acts as both protector and repairer. Tests on hair exposed to urban conditions—think UV rays and particulate matter—showed reduced protein carbonylation, which means less damage to the structural proteins in hair. Hair treated with Glycuron™ Marshmallow also maintained lower porosity, keeping hydration in place and reducing roughness to preserve that natural shine. It’s like giving your hair a protective shield to guard against the ravages of city life.

Enter the Skinification of Hair Era

Nature is full of clever, resilient solutions, and Glycuron™ Marshmallow is a testament to that. From skincare to haircare, it embodies the skinification philosophy—treating each component of the body with the same care and sophistication. As we look to the future of beauty, solutions like Glycuron™ Marshmallow will help us thrive amid the ever-growing complexities of the urban environment, letting us shine bright against any challenge life throws our way.
