Formulation Deep Dive
OLAPLEX Browbond Building Serum is formulated as a high-performance aqueous brow treatment designed to support hair density and skin health at the follicle level. The carrier system utilizes a blend of water, butylene glycol, and glycerin to provide humectancy and facilitate the delivery of polar actives, while VP/VA copolymer and hydroxyethylcellulose establish a lightweight, film-forming matrix for immediate grooming benefits. The active strategy features a sophisticated peptide complex, including myristoyl pentapeptide-17, acetyl tetrapeptide-3, and palmitoyl pentapeptide-83 amide, which work synergistically with biotin and panthenol (Provitamin B5) to reinforce hair architecture. Furthermore, the inclusion of bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate leverages the brand's proprietary bond-building chemistry to maintain structural integrity. The formula is stabilized with a robust preservative system comprising phenoxyethanol, chlorphenesin, sodium benzoate, and potassium sorbate, ensuring broad-spectrum microbial protection within a citric acid-buffered environment.
