	<li><strong>Karmyn&trade; Protein</strong> is thermally stable. It was built to survive inside the safflower seed where it plays a part in protecting the germplasm from harsh winters and adverse environmental conditions.</li>
	<li>Natural protective qualities help the skin and scalp to counter stressful and dry environmental conditions. It will help provide body and shine to the hair, enhancing stylability and manageability, especially in a low humidity environment, by smoothing down the hair fibers and delivering long term protective benefits.</li>
	<li>In higher humidty conditions, <strong>Karmyn&trade; Protein&nbsp;</strong>delivers benefits by smoothing down the hair fibers and providing long-term protection.</li>
	<li>Naturally occurring &ldquo;native&rdquo; colloid which will protect the skin and help to improve the bio-mechanical qualities of the skin. It adds another dimension to anti-aging formulations by providing smoothing and soothing dynamics to the skin&rsquo;s surface whilst providing protection.</li>

<h2>Hair Fiber Protection Study</h2>

<p>When used in a shampoo and conditioner pre-treatment system, <strong>Karmyn&trade; </strong>helps to protect the hair from damage caused by chemical treatments. In a study, Asian hair washed with a shampoo and conditioner containing 0.5% <strong>Karmyn&trade;, </strong>was subjected to treatment with 6% hydrogen peroxide. SEM images were taken of the control and test hair strands before and after treatment with 6% hydrogen peroxide. The hair washed and conditioned with the <strong>Karmyn&trade;</strong> formulation shows less damange to the hair cuticle and greater hair integrity after being treated with hydrogen peroxide.</p>

<p><strong>Karmyn&trade; </strong>has demonstrated excellent color retention in dyed hair. In a nine-person study, <strong>Karmyn&trade; </strong>was tested at 2% in a conditioner formulation, used daily after shampooing on freshly dyed hair. Images and measurements were taken for the test and the control before dyeing, immediately post-dying, and then 7, 21 and 28 days after dyeing. Measurements derived from the two high resolution sets of images (above) indicated that 71% of the color was retained after seven days of washing, 52% of color was retained after 21 days of washing and 48% of color was retained after 28 days of washing. Chromameter results from the entire panel demonstrated that throughout the study the panelists that used the <strong>Karmyn&trade; </strong>conditioner showed less difference in hair color, indicating improved color retention.</p>
