At a time when one in two women is likely to suffer from excessive hair loss at some point in her life1 The global nutricosmetics market is showing increasing interest in the hair segment. Seppic, with over 10 years' expertise in skin care, 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 is why ceramides, known for their involvement in intracellular lipid formation, play a key role, acting as a barrier to protect the hair cuticle.
With this in mind, Seppic has launched a clinical study on its natural nutraceutical ingredient Ceramosides, obtained from wheat lipids and rich in phytoceramides.
This randomized, placebo-controlled study was carried out on a panel of women of all ages affected by non-pathological hair loss. In just three months, the results highlighted significant effects on various key hair parameters:
- significant hair length growth of 12.5% vs. placebo
- a 2-fold increase in the number of hairs in the growth phase: +11,000 (compared with less than 5,000 in the placebo group)
- a significant 27% reduction in hair loss vs. placebo
- significant improvement in hair's resistance to breakage thanks to increased elasticity
- a significant reduction in scalp sebum in women with oily hair
This new study extends the field of application of Ceramosides, whose anti-aging and moisturizing efficacy on the skin has already been proven in three clinical studies.
Ceramosides is vegan, guaranteed GMO-free, additive-free, preservative-free and gluten-free. It is certified kosher and also has an organic grade.
