Shown to promote the elongation of hair follicles from the epidermis down to the subcutaneous tissue and conservation of vascularization of hair dermal papilla, resulting in an early anagen stage of active hair growth (Young et. al, 2014). Of four experimental groups, peppermint oil showed the most prominent hair growth effects: a significant increase in dermal thickness, follicle number, follicle depth, alkaline phosphatase activity, and gene expression of insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1).

Has been shown to have a marked hair growth effect when applied topically by maintaining the active, anagen phase of hair growth and delaying the catagen phase, which is the end of active hair growth (Lee et al., 2016). This results in thicker and faster hair growth overall. A scalp massage with lavender essential oil was found to improve hair growth in almost 50% of people in just 7 weeks (Prusinowska, 2014).

A study done in 2015 (Panahi et al) demonstrated that rosemary essential oil was just as effective as minoxidil (Rogaine) in the reversal of hair loss caused by androgens, a common cause for both men and women. Another study inferences that rosemary oil might prevent DHT from binding to hormone receptors that otherwise would enable it to attack hair follicles, preventing hair loss (Murata et al, 2013).

A widely used antibacterial and anti-fungal remedy that has been shown to combat infection and microinflammation of the hair follicles, which can contribute to the pathogenesis of androgenic alopecia if left untouched. Reducing scalp inflammation can minimize sebum production, preventing the colonization of unwanted organisms that could modify androgen metabolism and cause hair loss (Sakr, et al 2013).

One of the strongest natural fibres in the world, this protein will improve your hair’s elasticity, strength, resilience, and shine. It replenishes your hair with cysteine - one of the 4 key amino acids needed to produce keratin. Through the process of hydrolization, its lowered molecular weight allows it to absorb easily into the strands of your hair, serving as a protective barrier to prevent breakage.

Aiding in your hair’s ability to receive and lock-in moisture, this protein makes your hair less porous and strengthens it from within. It adds thickness - adding volume to thinning hair, repairing damaged strands, reducing breakage and preventing moisture loss.

Rich in oleic acid, this vitamin increases scalp circulation, stimulating hair growth, strengthening follicles and nourishing your roots by penetrating deep into your scalp. Its high vitamin E content prevents free radical damage that can come from harmful UV rays and environmental pollution. It also acts as a vasodilator when applied to your scalp, bringing oxygen-rich blood and nourishment to feed your mane.

Contains proteolytic enzymes that repair dead skin cells on your scalp while doubling as a natural conditioning agent, leaving your hair smooth and shiny. Aloe also has a chemical makeup similar to keratin (the primary structural protein of your hair) further infusing It with elasticity and preventing breakage.  

Has been regarded as a hair growth tonic for CENTURIES and hailed for its anti-inflammatory benefits. Countless research studies have documented turmeric’s inhibitory effect on androgens (DHT, specifically) which is involved in both male and female-pattern hair loss and alopecia. It’s also been shown to help resolve underlying conditions like seborrheic dermatitis, which can be a contributing factor in hair loss. Infusing turmeric root into your scalp will even unlock its ability to activate vitamin D receptor genes in your hair follicles (Demay, 2007), modulating the growth cycle of your hair!

Rich in antioxidants, essential fatty acids, lycopene, vitamins A, C, E, and potent anti-inflammatory compounds - rosehip seed oil stimulates cell turnover and collagen production, while protecting your scalp against free radical damage from sun exposure and environmental toxins. Its essential fatty acids like oleic, palmitic, and linoleic improve your hair’s growth, elasticity, and resilience against breakage.

It’s active ingredient “ginsenoside” has been found to inhibit the transcriptional activity of androgen receptors and down regulate them overall, resulting in increased hair density in those with androgenic alopecia (Park et al, 2015). It’s also been shown to dramatically reverse the effect of “catagen-like” changes in hair follicles, which is the end state of hair growth (Lee et al, 2017). A multitude of studies show increased hair density and thickness as evidenced by increased number of hair follicles, epidermal thickness, and proportion of follicles in the anlagen phase (Choi et al, 2018).

A powerful fortifying agent that nourishes your hair follicles by enhancing blood flow and circulation to your scalp, providing essential nutrients and oxygen. An in-vitro study demonstrated a 41% decrease in hair loss when Gotu kola extract was applied to the scalp, combined with a small increase in hair strength (Togni et al, 2018).

Boosts metabolism of fats, carbohydrates and proteins that are needed for thick hair and increased growth. Biotin is sometimes also known as vitamin H, and it helps protect the hair against dryness and brittle hair follicles that prevent hair growth. It also increases the elasticity of hair follicles and the hair cortex, to help prevent some of the breakage and further damage that stops hair from thickening and growing well.

Penetrates hair cuticles to provide enhanced moisture retention and strength to the hair shaft, increasing resilience and preventing breakage. Vitamin B5 also acts as an emollient, soothing the scalp to encourage hydration, reduce frizz, and promote SHINE.

An amino acid that serves as a critical building block necessary for collagen and keratin production. It has been demonstrated to promote hair growth and increase hair growth-related cell activity as dermal papilla cell proliferation was observed with its topical application (Yang et al, 2016).

Regardless of the type of hair loss, nutritional deficiency plays a MAJOR role. Among the nonessential amino acids, alanine deficiency was observed in 91.67% female-pattern hair loss, 91.18% male-pattern hair loss, and 90.74% telogen effuvium (Gowda, 2017). Alanine is one of the key building blocks of keratin, serving as an integral structural protein to your hair shaft.

One of the main building blocks of keratin, serine helps to increase the strength and resilience of your hair shaft, increasing fullness and decreasing breakage. It’s also known for its heat-protective benefits, giving you added protection against hot tools and UV rays!

One of three branched chain amino acids responsible for tissue repair in the body and an important structural component to hair. Valine deficiency was observed in 75%, 47.06%, and 70.37% of participants with female-pattern hair loss, male-pattern hair loss, and telogen effluvium, respectively (Gowda, 2017).

Vital in the production of collagen and the main component of keratin, this amino acid will enrich your hair shaft, keeping its structural integrity high. This will enhance the thickness, strength, vitality, and SHINE of your hair.

An essential amino acid that your body requires from food, threonine assists with the creation of glycine and serine and is integral to connective tissue support throughout your hair. A connective tissue sheath covers the outside of your hair follicles and is a layer connected to the dermis, making your hair stronger, longer, and fuller when nourished!

A branched-chain amino acid that serves as one of the three core components of potassium ion channels found in hair follicles. It’s been discovered that men and women experiencing hair loss have a deficiency in their potassium ion channels, making this structural protein critical! Leucine deficiency was seen 98.15% of participants with telogen effluvium and 100% with female-pattern hair loss (Gowda, 2017).

An essential amino acid that provides moisture and strength to your hair, while repairing any surface damage and preventing breakage. Histidine deficiency was seen in more than 90% of participants with androgenic alopecia and 77.78% of participants with telogen effluvium (Gowda, 2017) - making it a KEY element in avoiding common causes of hair loss. It also aids in building body and silky smooth shine!

An essential amino acid that is required from a dietary source to build keratin - the structural protein of your hair! Phenylalanine was demonstrated to have a rapid uptake in human dermal papilla cells, suggesting a critical role in the telogen/early anagen phase of hair growth (Schallreuter et al, 2016).

A precursor to nitric oxide, this amino acid is VITAL for healthy hair growth. Nitric oxide stimulates the potassium channels opening in the cells, resulting in enhanced blood flow and circulation to your scalp, bringing the nutrients and oxygen necessary for strong roots and new hair growth. Arginine also benefits the immune system and can help protect against autoimmune disease like androgenic alopecia - a common cause of both male and female-pattern hair loss.

A potent antioxidant that protects the scalp from free radical damage commonly occurring from environmental toxins and UV rays. Without this support, oxidative stress can attack the hair follicles, resulting in hair loss and increased breakage. Topically, vitamin E is found to accumulate in the extracellular lipid matrix of the stratum corneum, where is contributes to the body’s antioxidant defence system promoting hair strength and fullness.

A natural conditioning and skin restorative agent that hydrates and moistens your scalp to reverse dry, brittle hair, reduce breakage, and optimize hair growth. Glycerine is an emollient that absorbs water from its surroundings, directing it to your scalp for increased nourishment. It’s moistening and cooling effect is also helpful for reversing dandruff and itchy scalp.

A highly bioavailable, fat-soluble form of ascorbic acid that acts as a potent antioxidant against UV and environmental damage. Vitamin C is known as a free radical scavenger, preventing unstable molecules from destroying hair follicles - keeping your hair growth strong and full!

Critically important to the development and maintenance of the epithelial tissues - including skin, hair, and sebaceous glands, a diet lacking in vitamin A can lead to metaplasia of keratinized epithelia within the hair follicle and destruction of the sebaceous gland, resulting in hair loss and thinning. Since sebum production is essential to moisturize the scalp and prevent breakage, vitamin A is crucial in supporting hair strength and resilience.
