Lissenare (INCI: Hydrolyzed Corn Starch, Water) is a naturally derived, biodegradable functional saccharide made from starch, primarily composed of isomalto-oligosaccharides. It meets a natural index of 1.0 per ISO 16128, making it well suited for clean-label and eco-conscious personal care formulations.

Lissenare forms a smooth, flexible film that prevents the flaking commonly associated with styling agents and polymers. When combined with fixing polymers, it helps achieve both strong hold and improved flexibility — benefits that are typically difficult to deliver together. For hair treatment products, it improves the suppleness and tensile strength of damaged hair, contributing to a more elegant, manageable texture.

A Nagase innovation certified as Halal and China IECIC listed, Lissenare is a gentle, sustainable ingredient that adds meaningful performance benefits to shampoos, conditioners, styling gels, leave-in treatments, and hair serums.

Alpha Glucosyl Hesperidin (INCI: Glucosyl Hesperidin) is a water-soluble citrus bioflavonoid developed by Nagase using proprietary enzymatic technology. It delivers the full bioactive profile of natural hesperidin with significantly enhanced formulatability.

It promotes blood circulation to visibly improve dark circles, skin dullness, and facial pore appearance. It also supports hair health by reducing heat damage and inhibiting reactive oxygen species, making it a versatile active for both skin and hair care formulations.

Backed by clinical studies and COSMOS-approved, this ingredient offers formulators a proven, clean-label solution for premium anti-aging, brightening, and hair care products.
