A Natural Solution for Hair Growth

The Hair Growth Routine is meticulously designed to help reduce hair shedding, grow new strands, and encourage healthy, vibrant hair. Each product plays an integral role to stop damage towards hair follicles and nurture optimal hair health. The routine is proven to revitalise and recover even the weakest hair.

One of the key active ingredients, Capilia Longa®, is developed to reverse the biological clock and foster ‘younger’ cells that are capable of producing strong, thick hair. Healthy hair follicles form better anchorage to shafts, increasing hair density.

All three products complement each other to strengthen, recover, and increase hair growth after 150 days. Daily use results in healthier, sustainable hair within 30 days.

Active Ingredients

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract
- Function: Moisturisation and Improve Overall Health
  
  Description:
  
  Aloe vera is a cactus-like plant within the Liliaceae family, widely known throughout millennia for its skin-soothing, wound healing, and moisturising properties. It is well understood that hydration is critical for a healthy functioning scalp and its cells. Notably, Aloe vera extract has been found to significantly improve skin hydration by reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL), or simply the water that evaporates from the skin.
  
  Active in: Strength Shampoo, Recovery Conditioner, and Growth Serum

Amaranthus Caudatus Seed Extract
- Function: Moisturisation and Protection
  
  Description:
  
  Amaranth caudatus belongs to the Amaranthaceae or amaranth family of plants and is regarded as a superior source of plant protein for its attractive amino acid composition. Amaranth caudatus also contains key nutrients considered to support hair and scalp health, such as antioxidants and B vitamins. Interestingly, Amaranth caudatus is a rich source of the hydrating agent, squalene. Squalene is naturally occurring in the skin, but when applied topically acts as a readily absorbable emollient. Simply put, Amaranth caudatus provides hydration while repairing and protecting damaged or irritated skin.

Amino Acid Complex
- Function: Damage Care, Increase Hydrophobicity of Bleach-Damaged Hair, Reduce Hair Frizz, Improve Combability, and Enhance Hair Texture
  
  Description of certain amino acids:
  
  Formulated with: glycine, alanine, arginine, serine, valine, isoleucine, proline, threonine, histidine, and phenylalanine.
  
  Amino acids are a significant component of biological life, as they are the building blocks of protein. Notably, hair is primarily composed of a unique protein called keratin. Each amino acid has a distinct biological role, however, Scandinavian Biolabs products contain a particular blend to support and promote overall hair shaft health. In haircare, amino acids have been shown to improve the state of damaged hair by increasing overall hair strength and durability.

Brassica Campestris/Aleurites Fordi Oil
- Function: Film Forming, Prevent Heat Damage, Provide 24-Hour Frizz Control, and Strengthen and Smoothen Hair
  
  Description:
  
  A biodegradable oil mixture derived from sustainable tung wood and rapeseed. As a copolymer, the beneficial properties of both plant oils are retained, yet modified to increase formula functionality. This copolymer acts as a natural conditioning and protectant agent by forming a uniform film on the skin and hair. The protective film strengthens and prevents hair shaft breakage while protecting against external stressors such as heat.
  
  Active in: Recovery Conditioner
Crambe Abyssinica Seed Oil
- Function: Hair Conditioning
  
  Description:
  
  Crambe abyssinica is an oilseed crop belonging to the Brassicaceae family. While a phytosterol may sound intimidating, it is simply a type of plant lipid (fat), which provides hair-conditioning benefits. Crambe abyssinica is a good source of fatty acids, such as oleic and linoleic acids. When applied topically, fatty acids are considered to promote hair shaft elongation by prolonging the anagen phase.

Curcuma Longa Callus Conditioned Media
- Function: Hair Bulb Caring and Promoting Hair Follicle
  
  Description:
  
  Curcuma longa, better known as turmeric, has been used in traditional medicine throughout centuries. Rich in the polyphenol, curcumin, Curcuma longa contains potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, making it an exceptional compound for combating the signs of ageing. Moreover, research has found that Curcuma longa callus conditioned media increases the duration of the anagen phase while shortening the telogen phase of the hair growth cycle. This indicates that Curcuma longa may shift the cycle towards a prolonged growth period.

Hydrolysed Quinoa
- Function: Hair Repairing Properties
  
  Description:
  
  Quinoa is another member of the Amaranthaceae or amaranth family of plants. Similar to Amaranthus caudatus, it is a remarkable source of plant-based protein as it contains a balance of all essential amino acids. The process of hydrolysis may seem complex but have no fear. Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction that occurs by the addition of a water molecule (H2O) to break a chemical bond. In this instance, it allows the extraction of quinoa protein from the seed so that the beneficial protein can assist in the repairing of the hair shaft.
  
  Active in: Recovery Conditioner
Niacinamide
- Function: Increases Hair Density and Overall Smoothness
  
  Description:
  
  An isoform of vitamin B3, niacinamide is a water-soluble nutrient that is already present in the body and plays a role in several biological pathways. It has a high bioavailability, meaning our body can utilise the molecule efficiently. Niacinamide has been reported to have anti-itch, antimicrobial, photo-protective, and oil-balancing effects depending on the applied concentration.

Vanillyl Butyl Ether
- Function: Hair Conditioning and Rejuvenating Blood Flow
  
  Description:
  
  In simplified chemistry terms, vanilloids contain vanillyl groups that bind to receptors in the body to elicit an effect. Vanilloids are found throughout nature, and one well-known example of a vanilloid is capsaicin. Capsaicin is in part responsible for giving peppers their spicy, warming sensation. Vanillyl butyl ether is a milder form and acts as a warming agent within the realm of cosmetics. It is well understood that the proper delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the hair follicle is critical for hair growth. Thus, the intended purpose of vanillyl butyl ether is to increase localised blood flow to the scalp, providing a sufficient delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the base of the hair follicle to promote growth. Also referred to as HotFlux^®.

Zinc PCA
- Function: Moisturising Agent (Humectant)
  
  Description:
  
  Zinc Pyrrolidonecarboxylic Acid (PCA) has been demonstrated to aid in sebum regulation without irritating the skin. Used widely in cosmetics and suitable for individuals with oily skin, zinc PCA may assist with inflammation and sebum regulation without causing a greasy scalp.
