A new approach to hair, based on science
THE SCIENCE
The root cause of womens hair loss
While the triggers of female hair loss can vary from person to person, the underlying biological mechanism remains the same: a malfunctioning and shrinking hair follicle.
The hair follicle gets effected by an external factor such hormones, stress, metabolism, lifestyle changes, nutrition, aging.
The follilce gets damaged and miniaturises, producing weaker and more fragile hair, that is vulnuerable to shedding.
A combination of hair shedding and weaker hair growth from the follicle leads to visible thinning on the scalp, with the hair becoming less dense and more scarce.
OUR METHOD
Three ways we address the follicle
01.
Stimulate
Stimulating the hair follicle is key to increasing the amount of hair within the growth phase. The longer hair is in the growth phase, the faster and stronger your hair becomes.
Ingredients that stimulate
Marine Collage Peptide
Proven to stimulate human cells in the hair follicle and increase hair follicle cell growth 1

02.
Protect
Protecting the hair follicle from external damage and pressure is crucial in keeping it and your hair healthy. Malfunctioning hair follicles are what cause hair loss; protecting it covers one side of the equation.
Ingredients that protect
Vitamin E
Proven to increase hair growth and hair count in people experiencing hair loss 2
Vitamin C
Proven to protect the body from oxidative stress and free radicals 3
2 Effects of Supplementation on Hair Growth in Human Volunteers - 21(2): 91-99.
3 Effects of ascorbic acid supplementation on oxidative stress markers in healthy women following a single bout of exercise
03.
Nourish
Nourishing the follicle means providing it with what it needs to function correctly. While stimulating and protecting it are essential, no follicle can function correctly without the right nutrients and environment.
Ingredients that nourish
Biotin
A key ingredient in the synthesis of keratin, which is the main protein that makes up hair
Iodine
Balances thyroid hormones for optimal hair follicle health. The UK average diet is mildly deficient in it 4
Hyaluronic acid
Aids in water absorption and has been proven to help promote hair growth through improved hydration 5

OUR INGREDIENTS
Formulated with carefully selected ingredients
Collagen Peptides
1000mg
Comprising of 10 collagen peptides, among which are 7 are essential amino acids, sourced sustainably from white fish scales in France.
Vitamin E (as α-Topherol)
10mg
α-Tocopherol is the most potent variation of Vitamin E and the strongest naturally occurring fat-soluble antioxidant.
Vitamin C (as ascorbic acid)
40mg
Sourced as ascorbic acid (as opposed to ascorbate), a naturally found form of Vitamin C.
Biotin (D-biotin)
1800mg
D-biotin is the most active form among the seven variations of biotin and most commonly used for clinical trials.
Iodine (as chelated iodine)
100mg
Harvested naturally from organic kelp in the Outer Scottish Hebrides, chelated iodine is a natural iodine that is softer on the body.
Hyaluronic Acid
100mg
Nourishing the follicle means providing it with what it needs to function correctly. While stimulating and protecting it are essential, no follicle can function correctly without the right nutrients and environment.
