Alpha Velvety: the botanical active combining efficacy, sensoriality and sustainability
Alpha Velvety is a 100% natural active developed by Citroleo and distributed by ECSA Chemicals. Designed for high-performance cosmetic formulations, it combines functionality with sensorial excellence.
Ideal for both leave-on and rinse-off products, it suits a wide range of skin and hair care applications.
Properties, benefits and mechanisms of action
Alpha Velvety blends Amazonian plant oils and natural bisabolol from candeia oil. Rich in oleic, myristic and lauric acids, it helps restore the skin barrier and protect hair fiber.
Its triple action delivers a velvety emollient touch, instant matte effect and deep regeneration.
Studies show: up to 44% less hair protein loss, 35% increased softness, and morphological restoration of hair fiber.
On the skin, Alpha Velvety reduces sebum shine and improves texture — including lips — from the first use.
This stable and versatile active is suitable for emulsions, sprays, men’s care, scalp care, and multifunctional concepts. Effective at just 1–3%, it combines high performance with a green profile for mindful consumers.
