Prismatic Prime and Protect spray is specifically formulated to prepare and protect oily skin during wig application. This unique formulation cleans the skin for optimal hold, but most importantly, protects the skin from damage. Other agents often only dry out the skin to increase the lifespan of the glue’s hold, however, prismatic prime and protect contains a unique combination of protective ingredients that leave your skin healthy and protected.

For best results, use with prismatic lace tint spray and invisible lace glue.
This innovative protection complex strengthens the skin to prevent any harmful effects from priming the skin as well as from applying the glue.

Vitamin B Complex (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12):
- About the ingredient and history: Vitamin B complex is a group of water-soluble vitamins that are important for many bodily functions, including skin health.
- Compounds, biochemistry and beneficial effects: Each vitamin B has its own specific benefits for the skin, including improving hydration, reducing inflammation, and promoting skin health.
Vitamin B complex is a group of water-soluble vitamins that play essential roles in the metabolism of cells. The B complex vitamins include thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), pyridoxine (B6), biotin (B7), folic acid (B9), and cobalamin (B12).
In terms of biochemistry, vitamin B complex is involved in a number of enzymatic reactions that are necessary for the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. For example, niacin is important for the production of ATP, the energy currency of the cell, while biotin is necessary for the metabolism of fatty acids and glucose.
Pharmacologically, vitamin B complex has been shown to improve the health of the skin, hair, and nails when applied topically. When applied to the scalp, vitamin B complex can help to strengthen hair follicles and improve hair growth. It can also help to moisturize the scalp and prevent dandruff.
Scientifically, studies have shown that the B complex vitamins, particularly biotin and pantothenic acid, can help to improve the strength and elasticity of hair and skin.
In terms of physiology, the B complex vitamins play important roles in maintaining healthy skin and hair. They help to improve the structure and function of these tissues, and can help to prevent the signs of aging.
Overall, incorporating vitamin B complex into an ethanol primer before applying wig glue can help to improve the health and strength of hair and prevent breakage, while also supporting overall skin health.

- About the ingredient and history: Butylmethacrylate is a polymer that is commonly used in adhesives and coatings.
- Compounds, biochemistry and beneficial effects: Butylmethacrylate helps to improve the adhesion of the primer to the skin, making it more effective at holding the wig in place.
- Pharmacology on skin when applied topically: Butylmethacrylate is generally considered safe for use on the skin. However, it can cause irritation or allergic reactions in some people.
- Regulatory status: Butylmethacrylate is considered safe for use in cosmetics and personal care products in the US and EU.
- About the ingredient and history: Ethanol is a clear, colorless alcohol that is commonly used as a solvent in many industries including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and personal care products.
- Compounds, biochemistry and beneficial effects: Ethanol works as a solvent to help dissolve other ingredients in the primer. It also has antimicrobial properties that help to prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi on the skin.
- Pharmacology on skin when applied topically: Ethanol clears off any residue left on your skin to prime the skin for the wig glue. This step helps the glue to stick better. However, because ethanol can cause dryness and irritation when applied to the skin, especially if the skin is already dry or sensitive, we have added numerous other ingredients as listed here, that offset these actions and protect the skin from any harmful effects of ethanol or glue.
- Regulatory status: Ethanol is considered safe for use in cosmetics and personal care products in the US and EU.
- Begin by washing and drying your hairline thoroughly. Ensure that there is no residue of other products on your scalp.
- Shake the priming spray bottle well before use.
- Hold the bottle approximately 15cm away from your scalp and spray evenly over the area where the wig will be applied.
- Wait for the area to dry thoroughly before starting the glue application process. Do not use a cloth to dry the area. The area must be air dried.
Pharmacology of Collagen and B Vitamins
Toggle above to read about the specific effects of each ingredient on your skin
Anatomy and Physiology:
Ethanol and wig glue can harm the skin in various ways. Ethanol is a strong solvent that can strip the skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation. It can also disrupt the skin’s barrier function, making it more susceptible to damage from external factors such as pollution and UV radiation. Wig glue, on the other hand, can cause allergic reactions and irritations, especially in individuals with sensitive skin.
Collagen and vitamin B complex can help offset the harm caused by ethanol and wig glue when applied topically. Collagen is a protein that makes up a significant portion of the skin’s structure, providing strength and elasticity. It also helps to retain moisture in the skin, making it more supple and hydrated. Vitamin B complex, which includes B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, and B12, is essential for healthy skin and hair. These vitamins play a vital role in cell metabolism, energy production, and DNA synthesis, all of which are critical for maintaining healthy skin.
When applied topically, collagen and vitamin B complex can help to replenish the skin’s natural oils and restore its barrier function, reducing the risk of dryness, irritation, and damage from external factors. Collagen can also improve skin elasticity, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Vitamin B complex can help to soothe inflammation and redness, promoting overall skin health and radiance. Overall, the use of collagen and vitamin B complex in a primer before applying wig glue can help to protect and nourish the skin, minimizing the potential harm caused by ethanol and wig glue.
Clinical Evidence:
There are several studies that have investigated the protective effects of vitamin B complex and collagen when applied topically on the skin.
One study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology in 2012 found that topical application of a collagen peptide serum improved skin hydration, elasticity, and roughness in women aged 35-55. The study also found that the collagen peptide serum reduced skin photoaging and increased collagen density in the dermis.
Another study published in the International Journal of Cosmetic Science in 2018 investigated the effects of topical application of a vitamin B complex-containing lotion on skin hydration and barrier function in healthy volunteers. The study found that the lotion improved skin hydration and barrier function after 4 weeks of use.
Additionally, a review article published in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology in 2018 examined the evidence for the use of topical collagen and vitamin B complex in the prevention and treatment of skin aging. The review found that both collagen and vitamin B complex have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which may protect the skin from UV-induced damage and promote collagen synthesis.
Overall, these studies suggest that topical application of collagen and vitamin B complex may have protective effects on the skin, improving hydration, elasticity, barrier function, and reducing photoaging.
A 2015 study published in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology examined the effects of a topical serum containing collagen peptides and hyaluronic acid on skin hydration and elasticity. The study found that the serum significantly improved skin hydration and elasticity after 8 weeks of use.
A 2013 study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology investigated the effects of a topical cream containing vitamin B3 and nicotinic acid on acne and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. The study found that the cream significantly improved both acne and hyperpigmentation after 8 weeks of use.
