Kopalleum
Hair Resilience & Scar Repair
Description
Kopalleum is a ferment filtrate of red onion juice in coconut oil obtained through yeast fermentation. This process enhances the bioavailability of naturally occurring sulfur compounds, selenium, and phenolic antioxidants.
Kopalleum helps protect hair follicles from oxidative stress, supports keratin formation, and contributes to a healthier hair growth cycle while maintaining scalp balance.
It is particularly suited for formulations targeting weakened or sensitized scalps exposed to repeated stress, such as mechanical stress, chemical treatments, or environmental factors.
Onion-derived compounds help support the skin’s natural repair processes by contributing to the regulation of residual inflammation and improving the appearance of skin surface irregularities. Combined with coconut oil, known for its emollient and protective properties, this association promotes skin comfort and supports more even-looking skin recovery.

Technical & Sensory Profile
Formulation
Kopalleum is an oil-based ferment filtrate obtained through the fermentation of onion bulb in coconut oil using Saccharomyces. This makes it particularly well suited for oil-based systems and emulsions. It integrates easily into hair and skin care formulations without complex processing, and shows good affinity with hair fibers and skin thanks to its lipidic medium.
It shows proven antioxidant activity, helping protect hair follicles and skin from oxidative stress. Its sulfur- and selenium-rich profile supports keratin formation, hair growth, and scalp balance. In skin care, it supports repair mechanisms, making it suitable for scar-focused formulations.
Recommended Usage Level
Kopalleum can be used at up to 98% in hair oil formulations. In rinse-off and leave-on products such as shampoos, conditioners and masks, it is typically incorporated at a minimum of 2%, depending on the desired scalp and hair care performance.
Sensorial Properties
Kopalleum delivers a rich yet balanced sensorial experience. Its oil-based ferment brings comfort and flexibility to the scalp, while improving the perception of hair softness and manageability. On skin, it supports a smooth and pleasant after-feel without greasiness.
