Octan pearl & Keratin
For a decade the company has been involved in a research, seeking the ultimate raw material in order to produce the best products in the world for hair and body nurturing industry
As part of many in-depth studies, the scientists travelled to China and were exposed to the process of pearl formation and its various properties. During this period, the scientists investigated the process of converting pearls into raw material by grinding the pearls into a fine powder, and using this raw material to create, together with Keratin, hair restoration and body care products. Thus was the Octan Pearls and Keratin series of hair care
products was created
The Octan Pearls and Keratin series of hair care products are based on the best raw materials, on the basis of the pearl, a gem known for its many properties, containing active anti-aging components, ocean minerals and Keratin. Those components infuse multiple vitamins and amino acids into the core of the hair follicle, nourishing the hair, softening it, restoring the natural sheen and flexibility, lost through chemical procedures and due to environmental
effects
The series consists of hair care and restoration products as well as professional products
The company invests a great deal of resources in developing unique and innovative products
The Pearl Formation
The pearl itself is made of organic material created by the secretion action of certain mollusks of the oyster species, and in particular the Pterioda genus, initiated when an irritant, , penetrates into the oyster. Over time, the oyster secretes calcite and aragonite, the main components of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) in conjunction with a hard shell protein called Conchiolin. The combination of these secretions layering one on top of the other produces, over time, a magnificently beautiful, opalescent orb
The most important pearl oysters are those that the interior side of the shell is coated with a material called nacre, and are known as “mother of pearl”
One of the reasons that pearls are ascribed with healing properties is due to its chemical composition, because the pearl is composed of basic amino acids found in oceans or rivers. Using pearl powder dissolved in water these amino acids are absorbed by the body, and, according to various studies, assist the facial skin, the hair and the body, and impart a youthful look
