Botanicals and DHT Pathways
Peer-reviewed studies have examined whether liposterolic extracts of saw palmetto, nettle root and pumpkin seed oil may influence the 5-alpha-reductase pathway, which converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Findings vary by extract, dose and study design. This summary relates to the ingredients, not the finished product.
Invigorates the Scalp
Rosemary and peppermint deliver a refreshing, tingling sensation during scalp massage, leaving the scalp feeling energised and creating an optimal environment for hair follicles.
Antioxidant Defense for Stronger Hair
With black seed oil and vitamin E, our formula provides a powerful shield against oxidative stress—helping to protect your scalp and strengthen hair from the inside out.
COSMETIC PRODUCT; RESULTS VARY.
Saw Palmetto Extract
Packed with fatty acids and phytosterols, saw palmetto naturally lowers DHT by blocking 5α-reductase and calming androgen activity at the follicle level.
Both lab and clinical studies show that saw palmetto helps increase hair density by reducing DHT’s impact on follicles.

Nettle Root
Nettle root fights inflammation and blocks 5α-reductase (especially type II, like finasteride). It also reduces scalp cytokines linked to hair loss.
Lab studies confirm nettle’s ability to inhibit DHT, with traditional use in other DHT-related conditions for added credibility.

Pumpkin Seed Oil
Rich in phytosterols (especially β-sitosterol), pumpkin seed oil helps block the enzyme 5α-reductase, which is responsible for converting testosterone to DHT—the main culprit behind hair follicle shrinkage and thinning.
A gold-standard clinical trial showed a 40% increase in hair count for men supplementing with pumpkin seed oil, compared to just 10% for placebo.

Rosemary Essential Oil
Rosemary oil boosts scalp circulation and calms inflammation, creating a healthy environment for hair growth. Its actives also help protect follicles from hormonal stress.
In a head-to-head clinical study, rosemary oil was as effective as 2% minoxidil after 6 months—but with fewer side effects.

Peppermint Essential Oil
Peppermint oil stimulates microcirculation and wakes up dormant follicles, encouraging the active (anagen) growth phase.
Animal studies show peppermint oil outperformed minoxidil in increasing follicle number and depth—without the side effects.
Castor Oil
Rich in ricinoleic acid, castor oil improves scalp blood flow and helps other actives penetrate deep into the follicles for maximum effect.
While large clinical studies are pending, castor oil is a proven enhancer and stimulant in dermatology.
Jojoba Oil
Mimics your skin’s natural sebum to balance and protect the scalp, dissolving buildup that can block new growth.
Jojoba is clinically shown to help maintain scalp homeostasis and may reduce oxidative stress when used with other botanicals.
Cedarwood Essential Oil
Cedarwood’s antifungal and antiseptic properties support scalp health, balance oil production, and work synergistically with rosemary and lavender for best results.
A study using a blend with cedarwood showed visible improvement in alopecia areata after 7 months.
Black Seed Oil
Thymoquinone in black seed oil delivers potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, protecting follicles from stress and supporting healthy regrowth.
A 2021 clinical study found that topical black seed oil improved hair density and thickness through key growth pathways.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that shields scalp cells from oxidative damage and supports healthy blood flow to the roots.
A clinical study found volunteers taking tocotrienols (a form of vitamin E) saw significant improvements in hair count.
