Advanced Hair Exposome Protection & Shield Against Climate Change
ZINBLOQ is a synergistic botanical technology engineered to act on the front line against severe environmental aggression. Combining biopolymers from selected red and brown seaweeds (Kappaphycus alvarezii and Sodium Alginate) with a purified, upcycled Ginger (Zingiber officinale) fraction, it creates a reactive molecular shield that protects the hair cuticle and preserves the hair's internal mass against solar radiation.
Hair Mass Loss
Shine Increase vs Placebo
Dry Hair Combability
Important technical distinction: ZINBLOQ is not a chemical UV filter. It does not act by absorbing UV radiation in a conventional way; instead, it functions as a biological insurance policy that protects and seals the delicate F-layer (18-Methyleicosanoic Acid - 18-MEA) and epicuticle. This prevents the photolysis of cystine and physical erosion of the fiber, barring a brittle, dry appearance.
While strands exposed to 100 hours of UV radiation without protection suffer severe physical erosion and lose up to 25% of their diameter, hair treated with 2% ZINBLOQ maintains 100% of its original thickness and structure intact.
Mechanical tests conducted with Instron equipment prove a drastic reduction in friction effort: combing wet hair is 15% easier, and dry hair combability increases by an impressive 35%.
Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis and evaluations using a BYK Gardner Glossmeter prove that ZINBLOQ keeps cuticles sealed, retaining 25% superior shine compared to exposed placebo.
Through goniometry contact angle tests, ZINBLOQ proved to maintain the lipid integrity of the cuticular surface. The contact angle remained at 103.8°, significantly outperforming the degradation suffered by the exposed placebo (91.7°).
In line with ASSESSA's circular economy principles, the ginger fraction is extracted from juice factory co-products. This zero-waste clean logistics approach was internationally recognized at the World Circular Economy Forum.
Ginger acts as a free radical scavenger (antioxidant), while red and brown algae biopolymers promote uniform film-forming wrapping of the fiber, shielding hair against pollution and heavy metals.
ZINBLOQ prevents damage caused by UV radiation by protecting the F-layer, maintaining the hair fiber's original diameter. UV radiation silently degrades hair mass, making strands thinner, brittle, and lifeless over time—an invisible aging process. In addition, ZINBLOQ preserves the shine and combability of hair exposed to radiation.
