90 Years of Innovation in Sustainable Cosmetics
CLR is a German company with over 90 years of experience in the cosmetics sector, characterized by its commitment to quality, safety, and the environment. It recently received the Ecovadis Gold Medal for the fourth consecutive year, a platform that evaluates the sustainability performance of companies. This places CLR among the top 5% of companies in this regard.
But in addition to being a responsible company, CLR is an innovative company that offers effective and natural solutions for hair and scalp care.
In our interview, Francisco explained the difference between hair and scalp actives and introduced us to some of its Best Hair Actives, such as AnnonaSense CLR™, a custard apple extract that improves scalp health and well-being, and Cutibiome CLR™, a synergistic complex of lipophilic extracts of Manuka, Black Pepper, and Magnolia. Designed to provide essential support in the natural balance between the skin and its microbiota, this active ingredient is especially useful in difficult situations such as acne and dandruff.
Let’s look at the benefits, actions, and results of each of them.
The 3 Best Actives for Hair Care
Multimoist CLR™
- Benefits: Provides essential hydration to the scalp.
- Action: Increases moisture in the outer layers of the skin and stimulates the expression of the Vitamin D Receptor.
- Result: A well-hydrated and balanced scalp.
Follicusan™ DP
- Benefits: Prevents premature hair loss.
- Action: Stimulates the dermal papilla cells at the base of hair follicles, increasing the number of follicles in the growth phase (anagen) and reducing the number of follicles in the resting phase (telogen).
- Result: Increased hair density and cumulative hair thickness.
Vitamina F Forte
- Benefits: Increases hair strength and reduces breakage during styling.
- Action: Contains essential polyunsaturated fatty acids that help maintain hair’s natural structure and functionality.

These active ingredients can complement existing formulas, providing additional protection and nutrition to the hair, preventing common problems.

Beyond Hair: Skin Applications
But these active ingredients aren’t limited to hair. Some of them can also be used in skincare products. For example:
Multimoist: Although initially designed to increase hair hydration, this active ingredient is also powerful for the skin. Why? Because it improves the quality and quantity of vitamin D receptors in the skin, which in turn improves skin hydration.
