BIOVOLUME 128™
Phytoembryotherapy for Instant Hair Volume
An upcycled linden bud active developed to create visibly fuller hair from the first application, without buildup.
BIOVOLUME 128™ is produced from linden buds recovered during herbal tea processing. Predominantly composed of meristematic tissues, these young plant structures contain metabolically active cells associated with plant growth and regeneration.
Their functional potential is carried into hair and eyelash formulations through phytoembryotherapy, an approach based on the use of embryonic plant tissues such as buds and young shoots.
The Regenerative Potential of Linden Buds
Meristematic cells are responsible for continuous plant growth. Unlike mature cells, they retain active division capacity, dense cellular activity and a naturally concentrated profile of growth-related compounds and phytochemicals. Linden buds are particularly rich in these young tissues. BIOVOLUME 128™ is produced from upcycled linden buds separated during the sieving stage of herbal tea production and transformed into a high-value cosmetic active. This process preserves the functional value of the botanical material while preventing a valuable plant resource from becoming production waste.
Water-Activated Volumizing Action
BIOVOLUME 128™ is activated when applied to wet hair, with water playing an essential role in its mechanism. Its biopolymeric components interact ionically with cysteine-rich hair keratin and support moisture binding within the hair. This interaction translates into a measurable increase in overall hair volume without forming a heavy surface coating or causing buildup. Hair gains immediate, visible fullness while retaining its natural feel and movement.
Immediate and Progressive Hair Volume
BIOVOLUME 128™ delivers visible volume from the first application.
Ex vivo evaluation shows that repeated use further increases this effect, reaching up to four times greater hair volume after five wash cycles.
- Visible effect after the first application
- Up to 4× hair volume after five washes
Its performance makes it suitable for both rinse-off and leave-on formulations designed to provide immediate fullness with continued volumizing benefits.
A Visible-Volume Approach to Hair Thinning
Hair thinning is experienced not only as a reduction in hair count, but also as a visible loss of overall volume. By increasing overall hair volume from the first use, BIOVOLUME 128™ helps fine or thinning hair appear fuller and more abundant. This immediate cosmetic result makes it particularly relevant for hair-thinning concepts, where visible performance can complement longer-term scalp and hair care strategies.
Eyelash Lengthening Performance
An eyelash-lengthening study shows that 3% BIOVOLUME 128™ in a mascara formulation delivers 13% immediate lengthening and 7.8% elongation after 28 days.
