With PinoPlex, Mibelle Biochemistry has developed a new sustainable hair care ingredient, which is derived as an upcycling product from pine cones. According to the company, it is inspired by said concept of pine cone scales, which open and close depending on weather conditions. PinoPlex is said to be a moisturiser for the hair shaft and can combat dry and damaged hair. It not only penetrates the hair, but also retains water by levelling out the hair cuticle.
