A naturally derived, starch-based multifunctional oligosaccharide liquid that enhances foam quality, imparts smooth skin texture, protects sensitive skin against surfactant-induced irritation, and repairs damaged hair.

Lissenare™ (INCI: Hydrolyzed Corn Starch, Water) is a naturally derived, branched isomalto-oligosaccharide produced by Nagase Viita from starch fermentation. Biodegradable and compliant with ISO 16128 natural origin standards, it is designed as a functional hair care ingredient with a clean, sustainable profile.

Lissenare™ forms a smooth, flexible film on hair, which helps reduce flaking in styling products while simultaneously enhancing hold and suppleness. It addresses the common formulation challenge of achieving both firm hold and flexibility at once. For treatment applications, it improves the texture and suppleness of damaged hair, making it relevant for a broad range of leave-on and rinse-off hair care formats.

Sourced from traditional fermented food-grade raw materials and backed by Hayashibara's fermentation expertise, Lissenare™ is gentle, environmentally responsible, and suitable for shampoos, conditioners, styling gels, hair mists, serums, and leave-in treatments targeting natural and premium positioning.
