[Analysis Case] Evaluation of the Component 18-MEA on Hair Surface

It is possible to evaluate 18-MEA, a component of the hair surface, using TOF-SIMS.

The surface of the hair cuticle is covered with a lipid called 18-MEA (18-methyl eicosanoic acid). 18-MEA is said to be the source of hair shine and smoothness, and when it decreases due to UV rays or hair coloring, the cuticle becomes more susceptible to damage. In this case, we will present the results of evaluating the differences in 18-MEA on the surfaces of healthy hair (hair near the root that has not been treated with hair color) and damaged hair (hair that has been treated with hair color) using TOF-SIMS.
