At a time when one in two women is likely to suffer from excessive hair loss in their lifetime 1 , the hair care segment is increasingly gaining interest within the global nutricosmetics market. Capitalizing on over 10 years of expertise in skin care, Seppic is now extending its know-how to hair, with promising clinical results.
The maintenance and renewal of healthy hair is directly correlated with its lipid composition. This iswhy ceramides, known for their involvement in the formation of intracellular lipids, play a key role andact as a barrier protecting the hair cuticle.
Based on this knowledge, Seppic launched a clinical study on its natural nutraceutical ingredient CERAMOSIDES™, obtained from wheat lipids and rich in phytoceramides.
A gold standard clinical study was carried out on a panel of women of all ages suffering from non-pathological hair loss. In only three months, the results highlighted significant effects on various keyhair parameters:
- A significant growth by 12.5% in hair length vs. placebo
- A 2-fold increase in the number of hairs in the growth phase: +11,000 (vs. less than 5,000 for the placebo group)
- A significant reduction by 27% in hair loss vs. placebo
- A significant improvement in hair resistance to breakage through enhanced hair elasticity
- A significant reduction of scalp sebum in women with a tendency towards oiliness
This new study thus extends the field of application of CERAMOSIDES™, whose anti-aging andmoisturizing efficacy on the skin has already been proven by three clinical studies.CERAMOSIDES™ is vegan, guaranteed with no GMOs, no additives, no preservatives and is gluten-free. It is also certified kosher and is available in organic grade.
