Ingredients And Their Functional Benefits

1. Biotin

Biotin assists in the production of amino acids (key building block of protein). Protein cells are leading component of Keratin. Further, it is the Keratin protein that assists in the process of hair growth. [3] Biotin deficiency results in brittleness of hair and alopecia. [4] Biotin is reported to reverse scaling, hair loss, hair frailty and unmanageability. [5] Biotin averts the conversion of Testosterone into DHT, which is one of the causes of alopecia. [6]

2. Hydrolyzed Collagen

Collagen shows an average increase of 35% in the hair diameter. Collagen significantly increases the thickness and strength of the hair. [7] Clinical trials highlighted the relationship between extracellular matrix (ECM) and hair follicular regeneration and concluded that Collagen VI may be an effectual therapeutic compound against hair loss. [8] Arginine helps in keratin production. It also aids in Nitric Oxide production, which is vital for enhancing blood circulation and supplying nutrients to the hair follicles. This results in the growth of hair. Arginine is efficacious in protecting hair from undesirable effects of oxidative coloring and bleaching. [9]

3. Hydrolyzed Silk Protein

Hydrolyzed Silk protein possesses strong hygroscopic properties (retains 10,000 times its weight in water) that fosters optimum conditioning and increased strength. It provides a protective film around the hair shaft and nourishes it. It imparts sheen, elasticity, body, and manageability to the hair. [10] Sericin aids in stimulating the mesenchymal cells that supply nutrients to all hair follicles. [11]

4. Vitamin E

Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant. It neutralizes the free radicals that cause cell degeneration and hair loss.Tocotrienol, a Vitamin E component, cultivates an increase in hair number as compared to a placebo. [12] Vitamin E boosts hair development by revitalizing the growth of capillaries and improving the blood circulation in the scalp area. [13]

5. Shea Butter

Shea Butter is the fat extracted from the nut of Shea tree. Shea Butter is comprised of Stearic acid, Oleic acid, Linoleic acid etc, Vitamin A & E and bio-active substances with medicinal properties. The rich, heavy and velvety texture of Oleic acid enables Shea Butter to penetrate the hair cortex and also provide a protective filament over hair strands to reduce water loss and repair split ends, brittle and dry hair. The penetrative nature of Oleic acid helps Shea Butter to nourish the scalp and hair effectively and stimulate hair growth. The rich antioxidant nature of Shea Butter enhances hair growth by stabilizing the free radicals that interfere with hair cycle growth. Because of its emollient and healing properties, it nourishes and strengthens the hair. It safeguards hair from damage caused due to flat irons, staining, blow drying and pollution. [14] Due to its excellent sunscreen protection properties, Shea Butter absorbs UVB radiation and protects follicles from Oxidative Stress and follicular damage. [15]

6. Carrot Extract

Carrot Extract is rich in Vitamin A, Vitamin E, and beta-carotene. Beta-carotene is vital for hair growth. It is a carotenoid and an antioxidant. Carrot Extract fosters the formation of new cells and stimulates the scalp to produce more sebum to keep dry, scaly scalps moisturized. Carrot combats hair loss by neutralizing the free radical effect. Vitamins and minerals in Carrot Extract nourish the hair and help in rejuvenation of hair at a faster rate. The Vitamins safeguard the hair from heat and pollution. [16], [17]

7. Tomato Seed Extract

Tomato Seed Extract contains fatty acids (such as Linoleic acid, Oleic acid, palmitoleic acid etc), antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, carotenes such as lycopene, lutein etc., flavonoids, and phytosterols. [18] Tomato Seed Extract is a highly penetrative oil. It helps to enhance the pH levels in the hair, ensures it is more balanced and adds luster to the dull, dry strands. The abundant presence of Vitamins and Minerals help Tomato Seed Extract to invigorate and nourish the scalp and the hairs and make hairs strong, flexible and thick. [19] Lycopene works as a natural DHT blocker by regulating or inhibiting 5 alpha-reductase. This results in preventing the hair loss and fostering follicular and hair growth. [20]

8. Nettle Leaf Extract

Nettle Leaf consists of fatty acids (Alpha-Linolenic acid, Palmitic acid, Linoleic acid etc), Carotenoids (such as Leutins, Beta Carotenes, zeaxanthin) Proteins, Vitamin (C, E, B2, and K1), Minerals such as Calcium, Sulphur, Sodium, Copper, Zinc etc. Alpha Linolenic acid is one of the most powerful inhibitors of 5 alpha-reductase enzyme. It minimizes the DHT levels and averts androgenetic alopecia. [21] The Vitamins, Minerals, and proteins in Nettle Extract sustain and revitalize the scalp and bolster hair development.

9. Avocado Cold Pressed Oil

Vitamin E in Avocado Oil reinforces the hair follicles and mends damage caused to hairs by harmful chemicals and pollutants. Avocado Oil permeates the hair and scalp, moisturizes the hair and scalp, inhibits flaking and makes hair glossy, supple and manageable. A study in the International Journal of Trichology reported that Avocado Oil is capable of sealing epidermis cells and ward off hair breakage. [22], [23] Avocado Oil protects hair damage from environmental and imposed conditions like swimming and sunbathing. [24] Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids present in Avocado Oil are found to minimize hair loss and enhance hair diameter and density. The antioxidants and Biotin in Avocado Oil promote hair growth. [25]

10. Oat Extract

Oat Extract consists of Omega-3 & Omega-6 fatty acids, proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins A & E and minerals. Oatmeal Extract in combination with hydroxycarboxylic acids has proved to minimize itching in hair and scalp, moisturize hair, and inhibits allergens. [26] The Vitamin B permeates the cortex of the hair, draws water from the atmosphere and moisturizes the hair and scalp. It nourishes the hair, strengthens it and makes hair less fragile and more resilient. Beta-glucan, a polysaccharide present in Oatmeal acts as emollient and ensures a silken smoothness to hair. Oatmeal forms a protective filament over hair and safeguards it from harsh climatic conditions and hair knots. [27]

11. Glycerin

It acts as a humectant, hydrates scalp and hair and helps hair retain moisture. Glycerin makes hair glossy, lubes the hair stands, inhibits drying and thinning of hair, and eliminates scaly scalp and split ends. Glycerin provides elasticity to the hair and smoothes frizzy hair. [28], [29]
