Marc Anthony Enters the Bond Repair Category with a New Clinically Proven Repair Bond +Rescuplex™ Collection

The collection consists of: Repair Bond +Rescuplex^™ Daily Care Shampoo, Repair Bond +Rescuplex^™ Daily Care Conditioner, Repair Bond +Rescuplex^™ Repair & Protect Leave-In Treatment and Repair Bond +Rescuplex^™ Concentrated Hydrating Mask.

The Repair Bond +Rescuplex^™ system reinforces and protects hair on a molecular level and is clinically proven to rebuild and maintains hair's damaged disulfide bonds. Unlike many other bond repair solutions, the innovative composition of Rescuplex^™, with a specific polymer chain length, provides increased affinity to the hair resulting in improved performance. In molecular testing studies up to 50%¹ of damaged disulfide bonds were recovered.

Hair bonds are structures that link polypeptide chains of amino acids together that makeup hair's protein content. There are three types of bonds including: Hydrogen, salt and disulfide. Hair bonds can become weak or break over time from repeated hair coloring, chemicals, heat, daily styling and pollution resulting in hair that is weak, dry and dull.

The strong disulfide bonds give hair elasticity and account for a significant amount of hair's strength. Repair Bond +Rescuplex^™ specifically targets these disulfide bonds to restore a critical part of the molecular structure.

Formulated with Rescuplex^™ Bond Rescue Complex and a blend of power ingredients like rice bran oil, rosemary oil, hydrolyzed quinoa and vitamin C for improved moisture, elasticity and shine, the Repair Bond +Rescuplex^™ system protects disulfide bonds from initial damage, repairs broken bonds and strengthens hair.
