Hair loss is a universal concern that impacts individuals across all demographics. Driven by factors like hormonal changes, inflammation, stress, pollution, and genetics, it poses a complex challenge for formulators aiming to deliver effective solutions.
Today’s consumers demand more than just basic remedies; they are seeking targeted, multi-functional products that align with the growing trends of sustainability and wellness.
The new generation of haircare ingredients from Sinerga fulfil all these demands, leveraging natural extracts and advanced technology to offer multi-functional benefits, from reducing inflammation and balancing the microbiome to stimulating cellular activity.
Sinerga’s approach to haircare is centred around ‘skinification’, which recognises that there is a critical link between scalp health and hair resilience. Just as healthy skin is the foundation for radiance, a healthy scalp is the key to strong, beautiful hair.
Ingredients like Tricho-Solve mirror skincare routines, incorporating actives traditionally used for facial care into formulations for the scalp and hair.
What is Tricho-Solve?
INCI – Picea Abies Extract, Cocoyl Proline, Glycerin, Aqua
Tricho-Solve is a natural, biotechnology-derived active ingredient designed to combat the root causes of hair loss: hormonal imbalances and inflammation. Its effectiveness lies in its dual action of inhibiting 5α-reductase and reducing inflammation, while also stimulating follicular activity for visible improvements in hair density and growth.
Ingredient Highlights
Natural Source: Derived from Picea abies extract, rich in lignans and polyphenols known for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Patented Green Technology: Ensures a 76% improvement in bioavailability, maximising efficacy.
Multi-Targeted Action: Combines hormonal regulation, anti-inflammatory effects, and follicle stimulation to address hair loss comprehensively.
Benefits of Tricho-Solve
Inhibits 5α-Reductase: Reduces the production of DHT, a hormone that contributes to androgenic alopecia.
Anti-Inflammatory: Decreases IL-1α release, which is linked to hair follicle damage and conditions like alopecia areata.
Stimulates Protein Synthesis: Enhances keratin production, reinforcing the hair shaft.
Promotes Follicular Health: Boosts cell proliferation in dermal papilla fibroblasts, supporting the natural hair growth cycle.
Eco-Friendly: Developed using sustainable practices, meeting consumer demand for environmentally conscious products.
Proven Efficacy
Extensive in vitro and in vivo testing has demonstrated Tricho-Solve’s effectiveness in preventing hair loss and promoting regrowth.
In Vitro Results
Tricho-Solve’s performance has been validated through rigorous laboratory testing:
- It reduced 5α-reductase gene expression by 57%, directly addressing hormonal hair loss
- IL-1α release was decreased by 51%, highlighting its anti-inflammatory capabilities
- Keratin production increased by 24%, strengthening hair fibres
- Dermal papilla fibroblast activity improved by 19%, promoting follicular health
In Vivo Results
In a 90-day clinical study with male and female participants, Tricho-Solve showed remarkable results:
- Hair density increased by 26.71%, resulting in visibly fuller hair
