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.

Trehalose 100 (INCI: Trehalose) is a naturally occurring disaccharide derived from starch through fermentation, offering a 100% natural index per ISO 16128. Its stable, non-reducing structure makes it compatible with a broad range of formulation pH levels and processing temperatures without compromising performance.

This ingredient is a powerful skin moisturizer that helps maintain the water-holding capacity of dry skin by retaining moisture within the stratum corneum and promoting intercellular lipid lamellar structure formation. In hair care applications, it demonstrates protective benefits under heat styling conditions and strong anti-humidity properties that extend style longevity.

COSMOS approved, Halal certified, and China IECIC listed, Trehalose 100 from Nagase Viita is a trusted, label-friendly ingredient for formulators targeting moisturization, protection, and styling performance in skin care, hair care, body care, and oral care.
