Our Hair Growth Active Ingredient has the following properties:

• 100% natural active ingredient extracted from an active microalgae (Nannochloropsis Oceanica), which is particularly high in phytosterols.

• Proven effectiveness on hair growth: Boosts fibroblast activity in hair follicles, stimulating hair growth.

• Made with a sapote carrier oil base, which is traditionally used to strengthen and nourish hair and stimulate hair growth. It is rich in omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids, which have protective properties, and phytosterols and triterpene alcohols (lupeol and beta-amyrin), which are known to protect, soothe and stimulate skin and scalp keratinocytes.

• Thanks to the conditioning properties of phytosterols, this active ingredient brings shine and softness to dry, damaged hair.

• It is oil-soluble for easy incorporation into your hair oils, oily serums and oil baths.

• Suitable for all hair types.
