What are Ceramides?
Ceramides act like a ‘lipid-based cement’, forming a protective, nourishing and strengthening barrier that helps seal in moisture, reduce cuticle damage, and improve hair softness and shine.
They are gradually lost through environmental damage, UV exposure, chemical processing, everyday styling and as we age.
Our Luxury Oil’s hero is Ceramide NG, a biomimetic ingredient to replenish the naturally depleting lipids found in the hair’s cuticle layer.
FAQ’s
Ceramides loss is a common issue especially in urban settings. They can be depleted through environmental damage such as exposure to UV and free-radicals, or via chemical damage or over-processing the hair. The latter is often linked to daily styling, usage of heat tools, or overstripping/overwashing the hair with harsh, surfactant heavy products. It can also be a result of bleaching, or other strong chemical hair services that leave hair more brittle and can affect its porosity. Lastly, we lose Ceramides simply as part of our lifestyle; especially due to stress and the aging process.
Oxidative stress could be explained as an imbalance in the levels of antioxidants and free radicals in the system. It is often linked to environmental factors such as exposure to pollution or UV rays, as well as aging and certain lifestyle choices. It can impact cells, damaging the proteins and lipids within hair or the body. It leads to hair damage and brittleness, but has also been linked to issues such as scalp inflammation, the graying of hair, or even hair loss. Focus on anti-oxidant rich diet, to support from within, as well as on topical solutions, such as the Mr. Smith Luxury Oil.
Biomimetic ingredients are substances that have been engineered in a lab scenario, and designed to very closely mimic the structure of natural components present in the skin or hair. Our “bio-inspired” or “biomimetic” Ceramide is a lipid molecule engineered to mimic the structure and functionality of the natural ceramides found within the hair cuticle and scalp.
Luxury Oil contains Sweet Almond Oil, which is a popular ingredient in cosmetic formulas, it is nutrient-rich and particularly beneficial to adding shine to hair, reducing frizz, and nourishing the scalp. However, we recommend that individuals with tree nut allergies avoid it, as it can trigger allergic reactions. We recommend exercising caution, consulting your health practitioner before use.
No, based on our usage trials, we consider it to be on a lighter scale. It is fast-absorbing and silky, some of the ingredients selected (and their balance in the formula) add nourishment without the weight, and a dry-touch elegance. However, we advise to exercise caution with product application, start with a couple of drops and increase as required. The amount of product to use will depend on hair type, length as well as damage or porosity.
Keeping a light colour of the formula was a deliberate choice. It allows us to confidently recommend Luxury Oil to all hair colours, natural or treated, without causing any impact.
Oil based products do not contain water, so pH measurement is not possible.
