Serum for scalp care (Yerba sante, vitamin B3, horsetail and hyaluronan) + Upgrade

We are proud to present our advanced formulation of scalp care serum that will even better meet your needs for a healthy and beautiful scalp. The existing formulation, known for its key ingredients such as Yerba Santa , vitamin B3 (niacinamide), horsetail and hyaluronic acid , is now enriched with a unique additive – fermented raspberry.

What does fermented raspberry bring?

Fermented raspberry is not just a trend in cosmetics, it is a true natural booster that makes our serum even more effective. Fermentation of raspberries creates additional nutrients and antioxidants that help revitalize the scalp, stimulate hair growth and improve overall hair health. Fermented raspberry (Rubus idaeus) is obtained through controlled fermentation technology that significantly increases the effectiveness of active ingredients. This technique uses specific microorganisms to ferment plant raw materials, thereby increasing the concentration of active molecules, enhancing biological activity and creating new benefits for the skin and hair.

Key Ingredients: Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs): Fermented raspberries are rich in AHAs such as lactic, citric and malic acids, which are known for their regenerative and hydrating properties.

Benefits for the skin:

Exfoliation: AHA acids gently remove dead skin cells, encouraging cell renewal and leaving the skin smooth and fresh.
Hydration: Increases the ability to retain moisture in the skin, making it soft and hydrated.
Anti-aging effect: Helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles, making the skin younger and brighter.
Skin lightening: Evens out the complexion and enhances its natural radiance.

Benefits for Hair:

Hair hydration: Fermented raspberry helps retain moisture in the hair, making it soft and shiny.
Hair shine and smoothness: Provides hair with natural shine and smoothness, making it look healthy and well-groomed.
Protection and regeneration: Protects hair from damage and stimulates the renewal of scalp cells, improving overall hair health.

Mechanism of Action:

Fermented raspberries use a high content of AHA acids to stimulate exfoliation and cell renewal. The fermentation process increases the availability of active molecules, allowing deeper penetration into the skin and hair and increasing their effectiveness.

Application in Cosmetics:

It can be used in skin care products such as serums, creams and lotions for skin lightening, hydration and anti-aging treatments. It is ideal for moisturizing and protective hair products such as shampoos, conditioners and masks.

Recommended concentration: It is recommended to use fermented raspberry in concentrations of 0.2% to 2% in formulations for skin and hair care. It is added to emulsions at the end of the preparation process, either cold or at a temperature of 35-40°C.

Here are detailed explanations of how each ingredient affects the hair follicle and scalp…

NIACINAMIDE

What is Niacinamide? Niacinamide , also known as vitamin B3, is a water-soluble vitamin that plays a key role in maintaining healthy skin and hair. It is known for its numerous skin benefits, including hydration, reducing inflammation, and improving skin barrier function.

Niacinamide stimulates microcirculation in the scalp, which can improve the flow of nutrients and oxygen to the hair follicles, and improved circulation can help strengthen the follicles and promote hair growth. By increasing the synthesis of keratin and other key proteins, niacinamide can help strengthen the hair structure, making it more resistant to breakage and damage. Niacinamide has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce inflammation and irritation on the scalp. This is especially beneficial for people with sensitive scalps or conditions like dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis.

Maintaining optimal moisture levels in the scalp is essential for healthy hair growth. Niacinamide improves the skin’s barrier function, preventing moisture loss and helping to keep the scalp hydrated. It helps regulate sebum (oil) production on the scalp, which can be beneficial for those with oily scalps. Regulating sebum helps maintain balance and prevent problems like oily hair or clogged follicles, while also protecting the scalp and hair from damage caused by free radicals and UV rays.

DISTAFF

Horsetail (Equisetum arvense) is a plant known for its high content of minerals, especially silicon, which is crucial for the health of hair, skin and nails. Horsetail extract is used in cosmetics and hair care products due to its many beneficial properties.

Key ingredients of horsetail extract:

Silicon: A mineral that plays a key role in hair strength and structure.
Flavonoids: Antioxidants that protect hair and scalp from free radical damage.
Saponins: Compounds that have mild antibacterial and antifungal effects.
Minerals and vitamins: Such as potassium, calcium and vitamin C, which help maintain hair and scalp health.

How does the composition of horsetail extract affect the hair follicle?

Follicle strengthening: Silicon helps strengthen the structure of hair follicles, making hair more resistant to breakage and shedding.
Improving elasticity: Silica also improves hair elasticity, reducing brittleness and breakage.
Stimulation of hair growth: Improves microcirculation in the scalp, thereby increasing the flow of nutrients and oxygen to the follicles, promoting healthy hair growth.

How does the composition of horsetail extract affect the scalp?

Detoxification and cleansing: Saponins help remove impurities, excess oil, and dandruff from the scalp, keeping it clean and healthy.
Antibacterial and antifungal properties: Helps prevent scalp infections that can cause inflammation and hair loss.
Hydration and Soothing: The minerals and flavonoids in horsetail help maintain optimal moisture levels in the scalp, reducing dryness and irritation.
