Upcycled Hair Thickeners

Lessonia's Alter-Thickhair is a 100% natural, vegan, microplastic-free ingredient that turns raw material from the world of perfumery into a solution for thickening hair. This wholly plant-based innovation offers an alternative to conventional fibers, including synthetics like nylon and animal-derived keratin.

Specifically, Alter-Thickhair is derived from oud wood residues left after essential oil distillation for perfumery purposes, and this co-product is given a new life with a grinding and micronization process.

According to Lessonia, "Alter-Thickhair represents the next generation of hair care—a natural, responsible alternative for contemporary hair thickening formulations." Currently available in standard Natural and Brown shades, Alter-Thickhair can be custom-colored to meet the needs of formulators and brands, and incorporated into everything from hair densifying powders to leave-on scalp treatments.
