Polysorbate
80:
Researched at Helsinki University, this hair growth
stimulating compound is approved by the FDA as an emulsifying
agent in shampoos and lotions. Polysorbate 80 works
in three different ways:
* Removes dihydrotestosterone (DHT) & cholesterol from
the scalp.
* Releases histamine (a growth factor) in the scalp.
* Removes excessive body oil & dead skin cells around
hair follicles.
Biotin:
This new ingredient was developed by endocrinologists
to reduce excessive hair loss & revitalize new hair
growth. In tests conducted, as many as 70% of all cases
obtained results. They concluded that Biotin is a basic
nutritional factor in hair growth & in the control of
hair fallout.
Panthenol
(Vitamin B5): Studies have shown that topically
applied Panthenol has the ability to thicken & repair
damaged hair. Panthenol is a relatively small molecule
that can penetrate the hair shaft & hold moisture within
each hair (to provide pliability from the inside & lustre
on the outside).
Inositol:
(a B-Vitamin) An antioxidant which has a protective
effect on hair follicles, by protecting them from membrane
damage caused by oxidized cholesterol in the scalp.
Jojoba
Oil: It is remarkably effective against sebum, which
is the fatty substance secreted by the sebaceous glands
of the scalp. It frees the scalp of flakes & dirt -
encouraging hair to grow.
Nettle/Rosemary:
A mixture of these herbal extracts helps to speed
up the metabolism of the hair follicle.
Salicylic
Acid: Eliminates seborrhea & dandruff. Horsetail:
One of the most silicate-rich plants, Horsetail contains
about 7% silicic acid. Since tissue-strengthening and
resistance-promoting properties (especially for the
connective tissue) are ascribed to silicic acid, horsetail
extracts are an important ingredient in strengthening
hair lotions.
Saw Palmetto: Research has found that hair loss
and thinning hair is attributed to Dihydrotestosterone
(DHT), a hormone which is produced by the enzyme 5 alpha-reductase.
The natural herb, Saw Palmetto, along with the mineral
Zinc can inhibit this enzyme, thereby helping prevent
and reverse male pattern baldness. Ingredients in the
