FitRestore™ Performance Conditioner

Our Signature Post-Exercise Recovery Technology

The exclusive FitRestore™ Bioactive Complex represents our systematic approach to addressing the specific challenges active lifestyles create for hair and Scalp-health/” class=”auto-tag-link”>Scalp Health. This isn’t just a marketing term—it’s a carefully balanced system of ingredients that work synergistically.

Athletic Recovery Peptide System: Built around our hydrolyzed keratin Protein complex, this system provides amino acids that match hair’s Natural Protein structure. The peptides are sized for optimal penetration (150-2,000 Daltons) to help address daily Stress from frequent washing and environmental exposure.

The science: Hair is approximately 95% Protein, primarily keratin. When you wash daily and expose hair to heat, styling, and environmental factors, microscopic Protein loss can occur. Our peptide system helps provide building blocks to support hair’s Natural repair processes.

Electrolyte Balance Technology: A mineral complex featuring ingredients that help address the effects of excessive sweating on Scalp and Hair Health.

Why this matters: Intense sweating doesn’t just affect your body’s electrolyte balance—it can also affect your Scalp environment. Our mineral-rich ingredients help support Scalp comfort and health.

Cooling Biomenthol System: Our precisely calibrated menthol and peppermint complex provides immediate cooling relief while supporting Scalp comfort.

Dual-phase action: L-menthol provides immediate cooling sensation, while peppermint extract offers sustained comfort and Natural purifying benefits. The cooling effect typically lasts 15-20 minutes, providing extended post-workout relief.

Protective Shield Technology: A combination of conditioning agents and protective ingredients designed to help create a barrier against environmental stressors.

Multi-layer Protection: Combines immediate surface Protection with deeper conditioning to help hair withstand the daily challenges of an active lifestyle.

Primary Active Ingredients:

1. Behentrimonium Chloride A quaternary ammonium compound that serves as the primary conditioning agent in our formula. Unlike simpler conditioning ingredients, behentrimonium chloride has a unique molecular structure that provides superior detangling and smoothing properties.

Scientific profile: This cationic (positively charged) surfactant has strong substantivity, meaning it adheres well to hair (which carries a negative charge when damaged) and provides longer-lasting conditioning benefits compared to basic conditioning agents.

Why this matters for frequent washing: Hair that’s washed daily can develop a rougher cuticle surface over time. Behentrimonium chloride helps smooth these cuticles and provides slip that makes detangling easier and reduces mechanical damage from combing and styling.

Research foundation: Studies have shown that quaternary ammonium compounds like behentrimonium chloride can significantly reduce hair’s combing force (the effort needed to detangle) and improve overall manageability.

2. Hydrolyzed Quinoa Protein (Chenopodium Quinoa Seed Extract) A complete plant Protein that has been hydrolyzed (broken down) into smaller peptides that can better penetrate hair fibers.

Unique composition: Quinoa Protein is notable among plant proteins because it contains all nine essential amino acids, making it similar in completeness to animal proteins. The hydrolyzed form has molecular weights optimized for hair penetration.

Mechanism of action: The amino acids in quinoa Protein can help fill gaps in damaged hair cuticles while also providing film-forming properties that enhance hair’s Natural protective barrier.

Athletic hair advantage: For hair that undergoes daily washing and potential Stress from protective styling (ponytails, braids), quinoa Protein helps maintain hair’s structural integrity and flexibility.

3. Argania Spinosa (Argan) Kernel Oil Cold-pressed oil from the kernels of the Moroccan argan tree, rich in beneficial fatty acids and Natural Antioxidants.

Fatty acid profile: Contains approximately 43% oleic acid, 36% linoleic acid, and smaller amounts of palmitic and stearic acids. This profile is particularly compatible with hair’s Natural lipid structure.

Vitamin E content: Naturally rich in tocopherols (Vitamin E compounds) which provide antioxidant Protection against environmental damage that active individuals may encounter.

Penetration and weight: Unlike heavier oils that can weigh hair down, argan oil has a molecular structure that allows for good penetration into hair while maintaining a lightweight feel essential for active lifestyles.

4. Cetearyl Alcohol Blend A mixture of cetyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol – fatty alcohols that provide conditioning and texture benefits (these are completely different from drying alcohols like ethanol).

Technical function: These conditioning alcohols help create the cream’s texture while providing emollient properties that smooth hair cuticles and reduce Frizz.

Safety and compatibility: Fatty alcohols are well-tolerated by most hair types and actually help improve the spreadability and performance of other conditioning ingredients.

Supporting Active Ingredients:

5. Hydrolyzed Marine Collagen Type I Collagen sourced from fish, broken down into peptides that can interact with hair’s Protein structure.

Molecular characteristics: Marine Collagen has smaller molecular weight compared to bovine Collagen, potentially allowing for better penetration into hair fibers.

Volume and body: Helps provide lift and body to hair without heaviness, particularly beneficial for fine hair that may be weighed down by traditional heavy conditioners.

6. Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil Technically a liquid wax ester rather than a true oil, jojoba has a unique composition that closely mimics human sebum.

Sebum similarity: The molecular structure of jojoba wax esters is remarkably similar to human Scalp sebum, making it highly compatible with Natural Hair oils.

Non-comedogenic properties: Won’t clog Follicles or contribute to Scalp congestion, making it ideal for those who wash frequently and want to maintain Scalp-health/” class=”auto-tag-link”>Scalp Health.

7. Glycerin (Vegetable-Derived) A humectant that helps attract and retain moisture in hair fibers.

Moisture mechanism: Draws moisture from the environment into hair while also helping to prevent moisture loss from within the hair shaft.

Concentration balance: Formulated at optimal levels to provide Hydration benefits without the sticky feeling that can occur with higher concentrations.

8. Panthenol (DL-Panthenol) The provitamin form of pantothenic acid (Vitamin B5) that converts to the active vitamin once absorbed into hair.

Penetration ability: Due to its smaller molecular size compared to pantothenic acid itself, panthenol can better penetrate into hair fibers where it converts to the active vitamin.

Dual benefits: Provides both immediate smoothing effects on hair cuticles and longer-term strengthening benefits as it’s incorporated into hair’s structure.

9. Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract Concentrated extract from rosemary leaves, standardized for beneficial compounds including rosmarinic acid and carnosic acid.

Antioxidant activity: Contains Natural Antioxidants that may help protect hair from environmental damage including UV exposure and pollution that active individuals often encounter.

Scalp benefits: Traditional use and some research suggest rosemary extract may help maintain healthy Scalp Circulation and environment.
