Myramaze Pure
Myramaze Pure: regeneration for dry and sensitive scalps
The medicinal plant Myrothamnus flabellifolia, also known as the ‘resurrection plant’, has an extraordinary ability: it can survive extreme dry periods and regenerate completely in the shortest possible time after a lack of water. Myramaze Pure, which is obtained from it, uses this potential to provide the scalp with intensive moisture, to sooth it and to strengthen the skin barrier. With Myramaze Pure, this extraordinary extract is now available as a highly effective active ingredient for the care of dry and irritated scalps.
Botanical origin of Myrothamnus flabellifolia
Myrothamnus flabellifolia is native to the drylands of southern Africa and is a small shrub that grows to about 60 cm in height. This ‘resurrection plant’ is uniquely adapted to survive in extremely dry conditions: it can go for long periods without water and turns green again after rain. This ability makes the plant an ideal source of skin-caring active ingredients that are used in skin and scalp care products. Myramaze Pure uses the plant-based trehalose to protect and regenerate the skin under extreme conditions.
Trehalose: the main active ingredient in Myramaze Pure
Trehalose is a so-called ‘cosmotropic sugar’ that is able to replace water and form a protective structure around sensitive biomolecules. It is particularly valuable because it maintains the functionality of proteins and nucleic acids even in the event of extreme moisture loss. In skin care, trehalose acts as a ‘molecular shield’ that stabilises cell structure, increases hydration and supports cell regeneration. Thanks to its water-binding properties, trehalose is ideal for relieving dryness and improving the skin barrier – ideal conditions for scalp care.
Efficacy studies with Myramaze Pure
The Myramaze Pure contained in Myramaze Pure has shown impressive results in clinical studies for the care of dry and irritated scalp:
Reduction of scalp redness: In-vitro studies show that Myrothamnus Flabellifolia Extract can significantly reduce scalp redness. The soothing and anti-inflammatory properties also relieve itching and irritation.
Strengthening the scalp barrier: Using Myramaze Pure strengthens the skin barrier and protects against transepidermal water loss (TEWL). Studies have shown that water loss is reduced by 70%, which means that the scalp is better protected from drying out and moisture is retained for longer.
Increase in moisture levels: in vivo tests have shown that Myramaze Pure increases the water content of the scalp and improves the thickness of the stratum corneum. This results in a sustainably hydrated and nourished scalp.
Increase of ceramides and NMF (Natural Moisturizing Factor): Myramaze Pure promotes the formation of ceramides and natural moisturising factors, which strengthen the scalp structure and contribute to a healthy, resilient scalp.
Studies show that Myrothamnus Flabellifolia Extract has an intensely moisturising and soothing effect and sustainably regenerates the scalp.
