Nuance Salma Hayek Mamey Fruit Volumizing Conditioner is a decent product that adds volume, moisture, and some amount of gloss to limp, dull tresses. It contains quite a high concentration of a plant extract called Tepezcohuite or Mimosa tenuiflora bark extract. However, the Salma Hayek Volumizing Hair Conditioner mostly relies on standard hair care ingredients like oils, protein, silicone, and “quats” to work its magic. It’s a good conditioner, but so are thousands of others on the market. As of this writing, 2-ounce bottles of Nuance Salma Hayek Conditioners are available at CVS stores for about $3: an excellent way to test them out before you spring for the full-size container.

Mimosa Tenuiflora or Tepezcohuite as a Hair Care Miracle?

Tepezcohuite is extracted from tree bark in warmer regions of the world. It was used by the Mayans and has a long, revered history in Mexico as a skin care ingredient; there is plenty of at least “word of mouth” evidence that it speeds healing of burns and other wounds and perhaps even alleviates skin conditions such as psoriasis. Supposedly it helps rebuild the collagen and elastin matrix that supports the skin, which would make it an excellent anti-wrinkle ingredient; but there seems to be a dearth of any published studies confirming this.

What does all this have to do with hair care? Not much, really. Skin is alive, and should ideally contain more than 10% moisture content in its upper layers in order to keep its precious barrier function intact. In a skin moisturizer or serum, it’s possible that application of tepezcohuite, which is rich in emollient lipids, might indeed have some positive effect. Since hair is dead, consumers cannot really rebuild its keratin structure, though; fresh, new hair has to grow to replace the damaged locks. Of course, a good conditioner makes even damaged hair look better; but it’s not “repairing” anything.
