Formulation Deep Dive

MASAMI Travel Size Shine Serum is formulated as a high-performance anhydrous hair serum designed for immediate cuticle smoothing and thermal protection. The carrier system utilizes a sophisticated silicone-based blend of Cyclomethicone and Dimethicone, which provides a lightweight, spreadable film without greasy residue, further enhanced by C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate for improved emolliency and a silky skin-feel. The formulation’s active performance is driven by the inclusion of Undaria Pinnatifida (Mekabu) Powder and Macrocystis Pyrifera (Kelp) Extract, leveraging marine-derived minerals and antioxidants to provide botanical hydration and long-term nourishment to the hair shaft. This water-free system is inherently stable and utilizes a concentrated anhydrous environment to maintain the integrity of the botanical extracts, finished with a phthalate-free fragrance for a premium sensory profile.
