⚗️
Redensyl®
3% — Clinical Dose
Targets outer root sheath stem cells. Activates the Wnt/β-catenin pathway to push dormant follicles from telogen back into anagen (growth) phase. Givaudan's RCT showed +17% hair density in 84 days.
PATENTED · GIVAUDAN
🧬
Capixyl™
3% — Clinical Dose
Two mechanisms in one: Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1 strengthens hair anchoring via laminin-5; Biochanin A blocks 5-alpha reductase (DHT pathway). Clinical trial showed results comparable to 2% Minoxidil at 4 months.
PATENTED · LUCAS MEYER
⏱️
Adenosine
0.75% — Regulatory Dose
One of the few topical hair ingredients recognised by Japan's PMDA as a quasi-drug active for hair density and thickness improvement.This study contributed to PMDA recognition — Japan's pharmaceutical regulator — making adenosine one of the few cosmetic actives with governmental quasi-drug status for hair density improvement.
PMDA APPROVED (Japan)
Caffeine
1%
University of Jena studies confirmed caffeine counteracts testosterone-induced follicle suppression at cellular level. Penetrates follicle within 2 minutes. Inhibits PDE → raises cAMP → promotes cell proliferation.
PEER-REVIEWED
🔵
Copper Peptide (GHK-Cu)
0.1%
A naturally occurring tripeptide that stimulates VEGF (follicle blood supply), HGF (anagen extension) and KGF (keratinocyte health). Anti-inflammatory at follicle level. Active at very low concentrations.
MULTI-MECHANISM
🌿
Saw Palmetto CO2 Extract
1%
CO2-extracted Serenoa repens — retains maximum fatty acid content for 5-alpha reductase inhibition. Blocks both Type 1 and Type 2 DHT conversion. Superior to hexane-extracted alternatives in bioavailability.
DHT BLOCKER
🌱
Rosemary Essential Oil
0.5% — Standardized
Standardized extract = consistent 1,8-cineole & rosmarinic acid content. Panahi et al. (2015) RCT matched 2% Minoxidil in hair count improvement. Vasodilatory effect improves scalp microcirculation. Dosed at safe leave-on level.
RCT-BACKED
🧪
Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3
1%
Hair-anchorage peptide that stimulates collagen III and laminin production. Strengthens the structural connection between follicle and dermal matrix — reducing mechanical hair fall and shedding from weak roots.
ANCHORING PEPTIDE
💚
EGCG (Green Tea)
0.5%
Epigallocatechin gallate — potent antioxidant that promotes IGF-1 mediated hair growth, mild 5-alpha reductase inhibition, and reduces scalp oxidative stress that triggers follicle miniaturization.
ANTIOXIDANT COMPLEX
Multi-Pathway Approach

Four Mechanisms, One Formula

Most hair oils work on one pathway — usually scalp circulation. This formula addresses four simultaneous mechanisms of hair loss, which is why it outperforms single-ingredient oils.

01
DHT MODULATION
Block the Hormone That Shrinks Follicles
DHT (dihydrotestosterone) is the primary driver of androgenetic hair loss. It binds to follicle receptors and progressively miniaturizes them. This formula attacks DHT from three angles simultaneously — blocking its production, reducing its activity, and protecting follicles from its inflammatory effects.
Saw Palmetto CO2 1% Capixyl 3% EGCG 0.5%
02
STEM CELL & ANAGEN ACTIVATION
Wake Up Dormant Follicles
Hair thinning accelerates when follicles stay in the resting (telogen) phase too long. Redensyl reactivates outer root sheath stem cells via the Wnt/β-catenin pathway — the same pathway controlling follicle cycling. Adenosine extends the active growth phase once follicles are awake, giving each hair more time to grow longer and thicker.
Redensyl 3% Adenosine 0.75%
03
FOLLICLE ANCHORING
Stop Hair from Falling at the Root
Weak dermal papilla anchoring causes hair to shed before it should — you see this as excessive hair fall without obvious thinning. Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3 strengthens the extracellular matrix proteins that literally hold hair in the follicle. Copper Peptide supports the overall microenvironment of the dermal papilla and promotes ECM remodeling.
Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3 1% Copper Peptide 0.1%
04
MICROCIRCULATION + PROTECTION
Feed the Follicle, Protect the Environment
Follicles need optimal blood supply to receive nutrients and oxygen. Rosemary EO and Caffeine act as vasodilators, improving scalp microcirculation. EGCG and Panthenol reduce oxidative stress and inflammation. A healthy scalp environment is as important as the actives — without it, even well-dosed formulas underperform.
Rosemary EO 0.5% Caffeine 1% Panthenol 1% Vitamin E 0.5%

Full Ingredient List

Every ingredient disclosed with exact concentration. Tap any ingredient to read why it's here and what the evidence says.

Rosemary Infused Oil
Cold-process infusion of rosemary botanicals into a coconut and sweet almond oil base. This slow infusion extracts fat-soluble compounds — rosmarinic acid, ursolic acid, carnosic acid — into the carrier oil itself. Delivers sustained, broad rosemary activity with every application. The infusion method provides a complete phytochemical profile compared to simply adding EO alone. Works synergistically with the standardized EO to give dual-delivery rosemary activity.
25%
+
Squalane
Plant-derived (olive/sugarcane source) hydrogenated squalene. Virtually identical to human sebum — your scalp recognizes it and doesn't trigger excess oil production in response. Non-comedogenic rating: 0/5. Anti-inflammatory. Excellent for balancing oil-dry scalps. Lightweight and absorbs fully within minutes.
12%
+
Isoamyl Laurate
A plant-derived ester that replicates the silky slip of silicones — without being silicone. Gives the formula its luxurious glide during massage, and allows actives to spread evenly across the scalp. Leaves hair looking shiny and smooth without residue. What makes this feel unlike a traditional oil.
8%
+
Argan Oil (Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil)
Cold-pressed from Moroccan argan kernels. Rich in oleic acid, linoleic acid and natural Vitamin E. Penetrates hair shaft to improve elasticity and reduce frizz — visible improvement in hair texture from the first use. A cosmetic workhorse that makes existing hair look and feel healthier while the actives work on new growth.
8%
+
Rosemary Essential Oil — Standardized
Standardized extract ensures a consistent 1,8-cineole and camphor content in every batch — unlike raw rosemary oil which varies batch to batch. 0.5% is the scientifically optimal leave-on concentration: effective for DHT inhibition and microcirculation, without the sensitization risk of higher concentrations. Panahi 2015 RCT confirmed rosemary matched 2% Minoxidil at 6 months.
0.5%
+
Saw Palmetto CO2 Extract (Serenoa repens)
CO2 supercritical extraction preserves the full fatty acid profile (lauric, capric, oleic) responsible for 5-alpha reductase inhibition. This is the mechanism behind finasteride — but delivered topically, without systemic side effects. Inhibits both Type 1 and Type 2 5-AR. CO2 extract is more potent per gram than hexane-extracted alternatives.
1%
+
Vitamin E (Tocopherol)
Dual-function: antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals on the scalp, and a natural preservative that prevents the oil components from oxidizing and turning rancid. Supports the stability of rosemary EO and argan oil in particular. Minor direct scalp benefit — primarily a formulation-protective ingredient.
0.5%
+
Redensyl® (DHQG + EGCG2)
Patented by Givaudan. DHQG activates ORSc stem cell division; EGCG2 protects against follicular inflammation. Clinical study (26 subjects, 3 months): +17 hairs/cm² density increase; anagen phase up 9%, telogen phase down 17% vs placebo (Givaudan RCT, 26 subjects, 84 days). This is the single most important active in this formula for new growth stimulation.
3%
+
Capixyl™ (Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1 + Biochanin A)
Patented by Lucas Meyer. Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1 stimulates laminin-5 and collagen — the structural proteins anchoring hair to the follicle. Biochanin A (red clover isoflavone) inhibits 5-alpha reductase. Lucas Meyer trial: ~46% reduction in hair loss at 4 months. Separate 24-week RCT showed efficacy comparable to minoxidil.
3%
+
Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3
A peptide that signals skin cells to produce more collagen III and laminin-5. These are the structural proteins of the hair follicle's basement membrane. When they degrade — due to age, DHT or inflammation — hair loosens and falls. This peptide is also the active component of Capixyl, but added additionally here for an enhanced anchoring effect.
1%
+
Copper Peptide GHK-Cu
Glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper complex — a naturally occurring plasma tripeptide. At 0.1% it stimulates: VEGF (follicle blood vessel formation), HGF (anagen extension), KGF (keratinocyte health). Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. Improves the entire microenvironment of the dermal papilla. Effective at low concentrations — does not need to be at 1%+.
0.1%
+
Caffeine
Fischer et al. (University of Jena, 2007) landmark study: caffeine at 0.001–0.005% reversed testosterone-induced follicle growth suppression in ex vivo human hair follicle cultures. Penetrates follicle within 2 minutes of scalp contact. Inhibits phosphodiesterase → raises cAMP → cell proliferation signal. Multiple follow-up studies including 6-month comparison to Minoxidil.
1%
+
EGCG / EGG (Green Tea Extract)
The primary polyphenol in green tea. In the context of hair: promotes IGF-1 mediated follicle growth, mildly inhibits 5-alpha reductase, and reduces follicular oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is an underappreciated driver of hair loss — it damages follicle DNA and accelerates miniaturization. EGCG neutralises this at the site.
0.5%
+
Adenosine
Japan's PMDA (equivalent to FDA for cosmetics) has approved 0.75% adenosine for androgenetic alopecia — making it one of the few ingredients with regulatory recognition. Mechanism: binds A1 adenosine receptors in dermal papilla → upregulates IGF-1 and FGF-7 → prolongs anagen phase. Oura et al. 2008 RCT confirmed significant density improvement at 6 months vs placebo.
0.75%
+
Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5)
Converts to Pantothenic Acid on the scalp — a water-holding molecule that deeply hydrates scalp skin. Penetrates the hair shaft cortex to improve elasticity and reduce breakage. Soothes irritated or inflamed scalp. An essential supporting ingredient that improves the scalp environment for all other actives to function in.
1%
+
Propanediol (1,3-Propanediol)
Plant-derived (corn fermentation) humectant and co-solvent. In this formula, its primary role is to help water-soluble actives (Adenosine, Panthenol) disperse within the oil-dominant base. Also acts as a mild antimicrobial preservative aid. Recognized as a safe and sustainable alternative to propylene glycol.

Application Guide

How to Use

The formula works as a leave-on serum and as a champi / pre-wash oil. Both application methods are effective — choose based on your lifestyle.

STEP 01
🤲
Shake Well
This is a two-phase formula. Always shake the bottle for 10–15 seconds before each use to ensure the active concentrate and oil base are fully mixed before application. Do not skip this step.
STEP 02
💧
Apply to Scalp
Dispense 8–12 drops directly on the scalp in the areas of concern — hairline, crown, parting. Section hair if needed. Focus on the scalp, not the hair strands.
STEP 03
Massage Gently
Using fingertips (not nails), massage into the scalp with gentle circular motions for 3–5 minutes. This activates microcirculation and improves active absorption. Can be used as champi — absorbs in 5–7 minutes.

Deep Science

The Research Behind Each Active

We believe you deserve to know exactly what the evidence says. Expand each ingredient to read the science.

Redensyl® — 3% Patented Clinical Dose
+
Developed by Givaudan (Switzerland). Contains two molecules: DHQG (dihydroquercetin-glucoside) and EGCG2. DHQG directly activates ORSc hair follicle stem cells in the bulge region — the reservoir that generates new hair. EGCG2 is a modified green tea catechin protecting against oxidative stress at the follicle level. Together, they activate the Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway — the master regulator of follicle cycling.
Clinical Study

Givaudan in-vivo study (26 subjects, 3 months, 3% concentration): +17% increase in hair density, +14% increase in anagen hairs, 17% reduction in hair loss vs placebo. Study methodology peer-reviewed. Note: industry-funded — independent replication is limited but the mechanism is well-established in follicle biology literature.

Adenosine — 0.75% PMDA Approved
+
Adenosine is a naturally occurring nucleoside. In hair biology, it binds to A1 adenosine receptors located in dermal papilla cells. This binding triggers: (1) increased IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor 1) — a potent anagen-phase promoter, (2) increased FGF-7 (fibroblast growth factor 7) — stimulates keratinocyte proliferation, and (3) VEGF upregulation — improves follicle vascularity.
Key Study — Oura et al. 2008

Published in Journal of Dermatology. RCT with androgenetic alopecia patients. 0.75% adenosine solution applied topically for 6 months showed significant increase in hair density and individual hair diameter vs placebo. This study contributed to PMDA approval — the Japanese regulatory equivalent of the FDA — making adenosine one of the few cosmetic ingredients with governmental recognition for hair loss.

Capixyl™ — 3% Patented Clinical Dose
+
Lucas Meyer Cosmetics patent combining Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1 and Biochanin A (red clover standardized extract). Two independent mechanisms: the peptide component signals laminin-5 and collagen III production — the proteins forming the basement membrane anchoring hair to the follicle. Biochanin A is a phytoestrogen isoflavone that inhibits 5-alpha reductase — the same enzyme targeted by finasteride — but without systemic absorption.
Comparative Clinical Trial

Lucas Meyer RCT: Capixyl 3% vs 2% Minoxidil, 4 months. Result: -46.9% hair loss (Capixyl) vs -40.6% hair loss (Minoxidil). Hair count improvement was comparable. Capixyl group also showed better tolerability and no scalp irritation (Minoxidil group had 12% irritation rate). Note: manufacturer-funded, limited independent replication.

Caffeine — 1% Peer-Reviewed
+
Fischer et al. at the University of Jena published the landmark caffeine + hair study in 2007 in the International Journal of Dermatology. Key finding: in human scalp hair follicle cultures, caffeine at just 0.001% completely reversed testosterone-induced inhibition of follicle growth. Mechanism: caffeine inhibits phosphodiesterase → increases cyclic AMP (cAMP) → cAMP is a second messenger that stimulates cell proliferation.
Fischer et al. 2007 + Follow-ups

Multiple peer-reviewed studies from Jena group. A 2014 randomised comparative study found caffeine-based shampoo comparable to 5% Minoxidil solution over 6 months in hair count measurement. Topical caffeine penetration into follicle is measurable within 2 minutes of application — making it one of the fastest-absorbing actives in this formula.

Rosemary EO (Standardized) — 0.5% RCT-Backed Safe Dose
+
Rosmarinus officinalis essential oil. Standardized = controlled 1,8-cineole and rosmarinic acid content per batch (unlike raw cold-pressed rosemary which varies significantly). Active mechanisms: (1) vasodilation — improves scalp microcirculation and nutrient delivery to follicles, (2) mild 5-alpha reductase inhibition via rosmarinic acid, (3) anti-inflammatory properties reducing follicular inflammation. At 0.4%, it is within the safe leave-on limit (IFRA guideline: max 1–2% leave-on) — effective without sensitization risk.
Panahi et al. 2015 — Skinmed Journal

Randomized controlled trial, 100 patients, 6 months. Rosemary oil vs 2% Minoxidil. Primary endpoint: hair count per cm². Result: both groups showed approximately +9 hairs per cm² improvement. Rosemary group reported significantly less scalp itching (a known Minoxidil side effect). This is the most cited independent clinical study on rosemary for hair loss. Limitation: single study, no long-term follow-up data yet published.

Questions

Frequently Asked

Why do I need to shake before use? +

This is a two-phase formula. Part A (55%) is an oil phase; Part B (45%) contains water-soluble actives including Adenosine and Panthenol that are held in a propanediol-based concentrate. Without an emulsifier, these two phases will naturally separate — which is normal and expected. Shaking for 10–15 seconds before every use is essential to ensure all actives are mixed and deliver evenly to the scalp.

Do I need to wash it out? +

No — this formula is designed for leave-on use. The base oils (MCT, Squalane, Isoamyl Laurate) are all lightweight and non-comedogenic. The formula absorbs into the scalp within 5–7 minutes and does not leave a greasy residue. You can also use it as a pre-wash champi oil and wash out after 30–60 minutes — both application methods are effective.

When will I see results? +

The first measurable result is reduced hair fall — most users notice this by Week 3–4. New growth (baby hair / vellus hair) becomes visible by Week 6–8 in early-stage cases. Meaningful density improvement requires 3–4 months of consistent use, which aligns with the clinical timelines for Redensyl and Adenosine. Results vary by severity of hair loss — early-stage users will see more visible improvement than advanced-stage users.

Is this suitable for women? +

Yes — this is an unisex formula. Female-pattern hair loss (FPHL) involves similar DHT and anagen-phase mechanisms as male androgenetic alopecia. Redensyl, Adenosine, Caffeine and the peptide complex are all evidence-backed for both sexes. Women with hormonal hair loss, post-partum shedding, or diffuse thinning can benefit from this formula.

Can I use this if I have a sensitive scalp? +

Yes. The rosemary EO is at 0.5% — well within the safe leave-on limit. All other actives are at dermatologist-verified concentrations. If you have a known allergy to any ingredient, please review the full ingredient list above. Patch test on the inner arm for 24 hours before first scalp application if you have a history of contact sensitivity.

How many times a week should I use it? +

3–4 times per week is the recommended frequency for active results — this is consistent with the application schedules used in clinical trials for Adenosine and caffeine. Daily use is safe and may accelerate results, but is not required. For maintenance after 6 months, 2× per week is sufficient to sustain results.

Will results reverse if I stop using it? +

Yes — similar to Minoxidil, these actives manage the ongoing mechanisms of hair loss (DHT production, anagen duration) rather than permanently correcting them. If you stop using the formula, DHT inhibition stops and the anagen extension effect of Adenosine fades over 3–6 months. Hair fall may return to baseline. This is a characteristic of all topical hair loss treatments, not a limitation specific to this product.

Can I use this with Minoxidil? +

The ingredients in this formula have no known contraindication with Minoxidil. However, combining multiple active treatments on the scalp should be done carefully — apply separately (e.g., Minoxidil morning, this formula evening) and allow full absorption before applying the other. Consult a dermatologist if you are under medical treatment for hair loss.
