Full Ingredient List

Diethylhexyl Maleate, Oleyl Alcohol, Alcohol Denat., Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine

Formulation Deep Dive

The Bond Repair Treatment Starter Kit by Epres is formulated as a concentrated, anhydrous active system designed for deep structural hair restoration. The base utilizes Diethylhexyl Maleate, a synthetic ester that serves as a high-performance carrier, providing a non-greasy, lightweight delivery mechanism for the active components. Oleyl Alcohol further enhances the texture, acting as a fatty alcohol emollient to improve spreadability and hair-softening properties. The active performance centers on the synergistic interaction between Diethylhexyl Maleate and Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine, a cationic surfactant that provides conditioning benefits and improves the deposition of the repair agents onto the hair shaft. Alcohol Denat. is utilized as a solvent to ensure rapid penetration of the actives into the hair cuticle. The formulation’s stability is maintained through its water-free environment, which eliminates the need for traditional aqueous preservatives while ensuring the long-term potency of the acid-based repair chemistry.
