Biotrichology is isima’s cutting-edge scientific discipline - merging an advanced understanding of hair and scalp biology with the foundational principles of trichology. It powers our system of targeted, science-backed solutions for hair and scalp health. Recognizing that every person’s hair texture and type is unique, isima draws upon a depth of knowledge anchored in Biotrichology, going beyond traditional hair typing to develop a science-centric approach to haircare that is more holistic, multi-faceted and effective. In an industry built on reductionism—oversimplifying people’s hair needs and limiting options—isima is changing the conversation around scalp and hair health through Biotrichology, respecting and celebrating hair diversity with clinically proven care that is Latin-rooted and science-forward.

isima's products are suitable for all hair textures and types. Our shampoos have been clinically proven to be color-safe.

isima products operate on three levels, aligning with our TriModal Method™. When using our products, you can expect enhanced hair moisture, strength, softness, shine, manageability and overall scalp and hair health.

Yes. isima's products have been tested across a variety of hair textures and types.

Yes. All our products are formulated to be "clean", intentionally omitting thousands of ingredients—such as formaldehyde donors, parabens, MEA/DEA/TEA and their derivatives, BHA, BHT, EDTA, mineral oils, and many others. Each formula is reviewed by toxicology experts and subjected to rigorous safety testing protocols, ensuring consumer safety.

The TriModal Method™ is a comprehensive framework for addressing the various aspects of scalp, cortex and cuticle health through three distinct treatment modalities.

  • At the SCALP level: hair can’t grow effectively without the right environment. Our solutions address the complexities of scalp care to create the best conditions, nourishing it intensely, reducing dryness, and more.
  • At the CORTEX level: the core of your hair’s strength and elasticity. Expertly formulated to help recreate broken bonds, isima products target strands with nutrient-dense ingredients to reinforce structure, strength and shape.
  • At the CUTICLE level: where hair health and shine show most. Made of thousands of small, overlapping shingles, the cuticle protects each strand, shielding inner layers from damage. Our solutions are uniquely formulated to repair the signs of damage caused by heat, chemicals and everyday stress, reinforcing the structure and adding softness and shine.

Nonapeptide-3 is a powerful ingredient, used by isima for the first time in haircare. This ultra- restorative, retinol-esque ingredient promotes a healthy-feeling scalp—without the potential irritation of retinol. Nonapeptide-3 is included in Súperbomba Triple Repair Peptide Mask and Iconic Densifying Scalp Serum.

Peptides and proteins are both made up of chains of amino acids, but they differ in length and structure. Peptides are shorter than proteins. Nonapeptide-3 is made up of 9 amino acids and is considered a peptide. Used for the first time in haircare, this ultra- restorative, retinol-esque ingredient promotes a healthy-feeling scalp—without the potential irritation of retinol.

It's always recommended to use SPF on your scalp, as it is skin and can be damaged by the sun like any other part of your body. But unlike retinol, Nonapeptide-3 does not require any special precautions regarding UV protection.

GluconaBond™ is a cutting-edge, sugar-derived technology designed to recreate lost hydrogen and ionic bonds, helping reinforce the internal structure of hair. The result is hair that's stronger, less prone to breakage and more resistant to future damage. GluconaBond™ is included in Súperbomba Triple Repair Peptide Mask, Suavísima Hydrating Conditioner, All In Restorative Leave-In Conditioner and Curls Don't Lie Curl Perfector.

GluconaBond™ is a highly effective ingredient that has undergone extensive efficacy testing. Proven to penetrate the cortex, it works by recreating lost hydrogen and ionic bonds, helping to reinforce the internal structure of hair, making it stronger and more resistant to breakage.

No need for hair to be damaged to benefit from GluconaBond™'s efficacy. It is included in Súperbomba Triple Repair Peptide Mask, Suavísima Hydrating Conditioner, All In Restorative Leave-In Conditioner and Curls Don't Lie Curl Perfector.

Yes, silicones are essential in haircare products for boosting shine, reducing frizz, detangling and protecting against heat damage.

Apply the serum directly to wet or dry scalp in sections and massage in. Use daily.

Using Iconic Densifying Scalp Serum regularly is recommended, as it helps to hydrate, soothe, balance and normalize the scalp, creating the perfect environment for healthy, strong hair growth—even if you do not experience thinning hair. If you do experience thinning hair, daily use is recommended for optimal benefits.

Everyone should use a clarifying shampoo regularly to remove excess sebum, styling product build-up, hard water deposits and chlorine/salts from swimming. We generally recommend the following use frequency:

  • Wash frequency 3-7x/week: Clarify every 1 to 2 weeks
  • Wash frequency 1-2x/week: Clarify every 2 weeks to 1x/month
  • Wash frequency 1-2x/month: Clarify at every wash.

Never use a clarifying shampoo right after [within 48 hours] chemical treatments [such as coloring or perming].
