BARLEY SH-POLYPEPTIDE-1

Description

Barley Sh-Polypeptide-1 is an innovative biomimetic peptide derived from barley seeds, designed to target hair follicle stem cells and promote hair growth. This cutting-edge ingredient is synthesized to mimic the natural proteins found in barley, known for their regenerative properties.

The peptide works by stimulating hair follicle stem cells, encouraging them to differentiate into new hair cells. This process helps to prolong the anagen phase of the hair growth cycle, resulting in thicker, fuller-looking hair. Barley Sh-Polypeptide-1 also enhances the production of keratin and other essential proteins necessary for healthy hair structure.

Clinical studies have shown that this ingredient can increase hair density and thickness when applied regularly. It is particularly effective in addressing age-related hair thinning and loss. The peptide is well-tolerated by most skin types and can be incorporated into various hair care formulations, including serums, leave-in treatments, and shampoos.

Barley Sh-Polypeptide-1 is a water-soluble ingredient that penetrates the scalp easily, making it an efficient choice for hair care products aimed at promoting hair growth and overall hair health.
