Hair loss is a growing concern for consumers, driven by factors like stress, hormonal imbalances, pollution, and ageing. With increased awareness of the connection between scalp health and hair health, the concept of skinification—adapting skincare principles for hair care—is reshaping the market. Consumers are now looking for holistic solutions that target the scalp as the foundation for healthy, resilient hair.

For formulators, this demand presents unique challenges: creating effective, stable formulations that not only address hair loss but also improve overall scalp health. Achieving this requires combining actives that stimulate hair follicles, protect against breakage, and optimise the scalp’s microbiome. 

We are proud to offer a comprehensive portfolio of ingredients for hair loss solutions, enabling formulators to develop cutting-edge products for prevention, strengthening, and re-growth. Principal suppliers such as LABIO and Sinerga are leading the way with innovative, skincare-inspired ingredients, including fermented actives that leverage natural biotechnologies to enhance efficacy. 

So let’s take a look at some of the hair loss solutions possible with HARKE UK & Ireland.

 

Prevention and Strengthening

Preventing hair loss starts with reinforcing the scalp and hair structure while addressing underlying causes such as breakage, inflammation, and hormonal imbalances. HARKE UK & Ireland offers a range of advanced ingredients to meet these needs:

Fermentoil Hair Complex (LABIO)

INCI – Pseudozyma Epicola/Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil/Camellia Japonica Seed Oil/Camellia Sinensis Seed Oil/Sunflower Seed Oil/Sweet Almond Oil Ferment Extract Filtrate 

Derived through Bio-Technology this ingredient contains five different Fermentoils (Argan, Green Tea seed, Camellia seed, Sunflower seed and Sweet Almond seed) which enhance hair tensile strength with better texture and feeling. Ideal for hair repair, Fermentoil Hair Complex provides shine, gloss and moisturisation.

Amino Keratin (Sinerga)

INCI – Keratin Amino Acids

A blend of bio-fermented amino acids that mimic the profile of keratin making it ideal for vegan cosmetic formulations, offering a natural alternative to animal derived keratin. It strengthens, restructures, and hydrates hair while enhancing shine for improved health and appearance. 

X-Solve (Sinerga)

INCI – Ethyl Ximenynate, Lecithin, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Glycerin 

An active ingredient composed of Ethyl Ximeninate and encapsulated in lecithin liposome with patented encapsulation technology that allows better delivery of the ingredient. Thanks to its vasoactive capabilities, it improves blood flow in superficial vessels, promoting microcirculation and improving specific conditions (cellulitis, local fat accumulation, heavy legs, hair loss). It also fosters actin production in fibroblasts, suggesting a role in dermal remodelling, and prevents local inflammations at the prostaglandin level by preventing the formation of arachidonic acid.

BIO-Placenta Hair (LABIO)

INCI – Glycerin, Lecithin, Alcohol, Propanediol, Arginine, Caprylyl Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Citric Acid, Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Extract, Tocopherol, sh-Polypeptide-11, sh-Polypeptide-1, sh-Oligopeptide-2, sh-Oligopeptide-10, sh-Polypeptide-9

A biotechnologically derived active ingredient composed of five synthesised growth factors that stimulate mRNA expression, together with Vitamins, Amino Acids and Natural Extracts to improve hair quality, and provide moisturisation and a cooling effect to regulate hair scalp condition. Produced via Bio-Technology, this product is non-animal derived.

Hair App (Sinerga)

INCI – Lysine Carboxymethyl Cysteinate

A pure powder based on a combination of hair-like amino acids which reinforce the hair in a natural way. Hair App supplies hair with keratin structural components that protect the hair shaft and reinforce keratin fibres. It penetrates into the cuticle up to the cortex organizing disulphide bonds, reinforcing the hair.

Azeloglicina® (Sinerga)

INCI – Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate

An innovative, multifunctional active ingredient derived from azelaic acid and glycine showing benefits across skin and haircare. In haircare it is a 5α-reductase inhibitor that prevents hair loss while also balancing sebum production, hydrating, and soothing the scalp.

 

Hair Re-Growth

Stimulating hair re-growth requires improving scalp circulation, supporting follicle health, and addressing hormonal factors. HARKE UK & Ireland offers the following advanced solution for re-growth.

Tricho-Solve (Sinerga)

INCI – Picea Abies extract, Cocoyl proline, Glycerin

A new patented active ingredient derived from conifer bark, carried through a patented technology to increase its bio-availability. Tricho-Solve stimulates protein synthesis and cell proliferation in hair dermal papilla fibroblasts, promoting hair re-growth. It is also able to inhibit inflammation (IL-1α) and 5α reductase, both primary causes involved in hair loss disorders.
