GlossaryEncapsulation

process of enclosing substances within a protective coating

Encapsulation in the context of hair and biology refers to the process of enclosing active ingredients, such as vitamins or medications, within a protective coating or capsule. This technique helps in the controlled release of these substances, ensuring they reach the targeted area, like hair follicles, more effectively and with reduced degradation.
