A New Approach to Anti-Dandruff Care
Dandruff is a multifactorial condition involving microbial imbalance, altered desquamation, inflammation, and changes in the scalp barrier function.
As consumer expectations evolve, anti-dandruff care is also shifting towards natural, effective, and gentler solutions capable of addressing several of these factors while respecting the scalp ecosystem. BALANZZA was developed with precisely this new vision in mind.
Biotechnology Inspired by Nature
BALANZZA is derived from Quillaja saponaria stem cells, combining the potential of a Chilean botanical species with advanced plant biotechnology.
Through controlled plant stem cell culture, its production is independent of seasonality and repeated harvesting of the plant, providing a more sustainable and reproducible source of bioactive compounds.
Furthermore, a metabolic induction process enhances the production of specific metabolites, resulting in a synergistic combination of naturally derived compounds.
Multifunctional Efficacy for Scalp Balance
BALANZZA targets several key factors associated with dandruff.
Efficacy studies demonstrated a reduction of over 99% in Malassezia furfur, while also helping to modulate Cutibacterium acnes and protect hair follicle cells against oxidative stress.
In the in vivo study, BALANZZA at 2% significantly reduced the dandruff score by 26.2% after 28 days, while volunteers also reported soothing benefits, reduced itching, and gentle cleansing.
This multifunctional profile makes BALANZZA a next-generation ingredient designed not only to combat visible dandruff but also to help restore scalp balance and comfort.
Gold for Sustainable Innovation
Winning Gold at the Green Ingredients Awards at in-cosmetics Latin America 2026 represents an important recognition of the concept behind BALANZZA: combining scientifically proven efficacy with responsible biotechnology.
Plant stem cell technology enables controlled production, helping to preserve natural resources and biodiversity while offering an innovative alternative for the development of sustainable cosmetic ingredients.
For us, this award reinforces our commitment to developing ingredients that bring together nature, science, and biotechnology to shape the future of cosmetics.
BALANZZA Wins Gold, Ushering in a New Era of Scalp Care.
