Tapping into the principles of Green Chemistry, the botanical technology in Aveda’s 95% naturally derived Smooth Infusion collection includes a Plant Polymer Shield and Botanical Smoothing Oil Blend, giving hair instantly smooth, sleek results in just one use. This dual-action technology protects from humidity without silicones.
How it works…
First, a botanical complex created from castor bean plant extract instantly cloaks hair strands and repels water, giving silicone-free protection. Next, a smoothing botanical oil blend formulated with Kalahari Melon Seed Oil and Tamanu Oil smooths and conditions cuticles for softness and shine.
Camille Sasik, Ph.D., Aveda’s Director of Hair Care Research and Development, said, “Leveraging our expertise in high-performance, naturally derived materials, we were able to identify the Plant Polymer Shield in the Smooth Infusion collection used to block humidity and give frizz protection. This is an exciting technological improvement that replaces silicones with plant-derived alternatives, without sacrificing performance – actually, it gives better, longer-lasting results than our prior silicone-based formula. That’s the power of Green Chemistry!”
