FRULIX ACEROLA

FRULIX ACEROLA is obtained through an exclusive biotechnological process that mimics the natural ripening of the fruit. Using the fruits’ native enzymes, ASSESSA transforms its pulp into a crystalline liquid with all the active ingredients of the fruit, in concentrations equivalent to those found in nature.

Produced without the addition of solvents.

Hair Strength

Hair breakage, unlike hair loss, refers to damage along the hair shaft caused by a weakened inner cortex and cuticle. This weakening makes the hair susceptible to mid-shaft fractures, resulting in decreased density, strength, and structural integrity.

Strength Test

Hair strands treated with FRULIX ACEROLA demonstrated a significant increase in mechanical strength compared to the placebo and the benchmark group in all hair types tested.

Fluorescence Microscopy Test

Fluorescence test results show that FRULIX ACEROLA penetrates deep into the hair shaft, filling in damaged spots. The significant drop in fluorescence intensity proves that the product is working to make hair healthier, more nourished, and much less likely to break.

Stable at temperatures up to 90°C.

FRULIX Exclusive Process

1. The Technology

FRULIX is obtained through an exclusive biotechnological process that mimics the natural ripening of the fruit. Using the native enzymes that change the texture of the fruit during its ripening, it is possible to transform its pulp into a crystalline liquid.

2. Production of enzymes

The fruits are harvested, washed and processed into a paste. The slurry is inoculated with microorganisms and the semi-solid mass is placed to ferment. The mixture is separated and the enzymes are removed from the wort.

3. Processing the fruits

The fruits are harvested, washed and processed into the pulp. Seeds and bark are discarded. The pulp is inoculated with the FRULIX Enzymes. The residues (fibers, solids) are removed and FRULIX is obtained. The product is stabilized and preserved.

4. Frulix

The clear liquid from the separation step receives preservatives, mixture and filling.
