Capixyl

Capixyl is an innovative and relatively new active ingredient complex used in the hair care industry, particularly in products to promote hair growth and reduce hair loss. This complex combines a biomimetic peptide (Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3) with an extract of red clover (Trifolium Pratense) rich in biochanin A. The combination of these ingredients aims to combat hair loss, improve scalp health and promote hair growth.

Mechanism of action

Capixyl works through multiple mechanisms to support hair health:

  • Reducing DHT : Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a hormone closely associated alopecia Capixyl may help inhibit the conversion of testosterone to DHT by modulating the activity of the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase.
  • Strengthening hair follicles : Capixyl's biomimetic peptide portion can help strengthen the extracellular matrix proteins of hair follicles, resulting in a firmer anchoring of the hair to the scalp.
  • Anti-inflammatory : Inflammation of the scalp can worsen or cause hair loss. Capixyl has anti-inflammatory properties that help maintain scalp health and create optimal conditions for hair growth.
  • Stimulating Hair Growth : By improving scalp health and strengthening hair follicles, Capixyl can promote the growth of new hair and improve the appearance of hair.

Application and products

Capixyl is used in a variety of hair care products, including serums, shampoos, conditioners, and leave-in treatments. It is particularly popular in formulations aimed at treating hair loss, including androgenetic alopecia in men and women.

Effectiveness and safety

Although Capixyl is relatively new, early studies and consumer feedback suggest that it may be effective in reducing hair loss and promoting hair growth. As with any cosmetic ingredient, results vary depending on the individual situation and the cause of hair loss. Capixyl is generally considered safe for use in hair care products and no significant side effects have been reported. However, it is always advisable to pay attention to possible skin reactions when introducing new products into your hair care routine and to consult a dermatologist if necessary.

Overall, Capixyl offers a promising option for individuals looking for a non-invasive method to combat hair loss and support hair growth.
