The K18 Mask does contain a small amount of wheat protein. Please consult your doctor before using K18 if you have a wheat allergy and conduct a patch test upon approval to test for any allergic reactions.
is k18 safe to use during pregnancy?
Although K18 is free of sulfates, parabens, phthalates, silicones, artificial colors, sodium chloride, and is vegan and cruelty-free, we recommend clients consult their doctors before using K18 during pregnancy or if they have concerns about allergies. We are happy to provide an MSDS sheet.
i noticed there’s alcohol in the formula isn’t that bad for my hair?
We like to keep our formulas minimal, only using the exact ingredients needed to get the peptide where it needs to go. Our unique blend of 3 alcohols functions to open up the hair cuticle so the K18PEPTIDE™ can penetrate the innermost layer of hair, reaching the broken polypeptide chains (keratin chains). Here the alcohol serves as an agent to optimize the hair environment for K18 to work on a deeper level and give you the best results.
when should i expect to see results?
Most see results after 2-3 uses. The more damaged the hair, the more dramatic the results so results may vary depending on your hair type + level of damage.
