Formulation Deep Dive
OLAPLEX No.7 Bonding Oil is engineered as a high-concentration, anhydrous reparative styling oil designed to restore hair structural integrity while providing thermal protection up to 450°F. The formulation utilizes a sophisticated silicone-lipid carrier system, led by Dimethicone and Phenyl Trimethicone for immediate refractive shine and slip, balanced by Isohexadecane and Coco-Caprylate to ensure a weightless, non-greasy finish. The active performance is driven by the patented Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate, which works on a molecular level to relink broken disulfide bonds, supported by a nutrient-dense lipid complex of Zea Mays (Corn) Oil, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, and Punica Granatum (Pomegranate) Seed Oil to reinforce the protective cuticle layer. This water-free system is inherently stable and further fortified with Tocopherol (Vitamin E) and Beta-Carotene for antioxidant protection of both the formula and the hair fiber.
