Formulation

Every INCI. Grouped by what it actually does.

We do not hide actives inside a “proprietary blend.” The peptide complex is listed first because it is the point of the formula. Everything else is there to carry, protect, or condition. Hair and Skin are different formulas.

Peptide complex

Emphasized complex

The point of the formula. Four named peptides: two copper complexes and a pair used in density-focused scalp serums.

  • Copper Tripeptide-1 (GHK-Cu)

    A copper peptide widely used in scalp and skin care, included for the look of a healthier scalp.

  • Alanine/Histidine/Lysine Polypeptide Copper HCl (AHK-Cu)

    A second copper-peptide complex. Listed separately because it is a separate ingredient, not a duplicate of GHK-Cu.

  • Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3

    A tetrapeptide used in density-focused scalp serums, for the look of fuller hair.

  • Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1

    A biotin-linked peptide used in scalp serums, for the look of stronger-looking roots.

Adenosine, caffeine & hair conditioners

Familiar ingredients in density-focused hair care, sitting beside the peptides.

    A classic scalp-care botanical.

  • Camellia Sinensis Extract

    Green tea polyphenols, an antioxidant botanical.

  • Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

    Leaf-fraction green tea. Listed separately because the INCI is separate.

    A dicarboxylic acid used for the look of a calmer, clearer scalp.

  • 10-Hydroxydecanoic Acid

    A fatty acid used for a scalp that feels less oily.

Barrier, comfort, fiber

Conditioning ingredients so the scalp stays comfortable in the routine. No perfume cloud.

  • Panthenol

    Pro-vitamin B5. Softness and the look of thickness in the shaft.

  • Sodium Hyaluronate

    A light hyaluronic so the serum sits on a hydrated surface instead of pilling.

  • Urea

    A natural moisturizing factor. Helps the scalp stay comfortable between sessions.

  • Cholesterol

    A lipid that conditions the skin of the scalp.

  • Zinc Chloride

    A zinc salt used in scalp-care formulas.

Vehicle, solubilizers, preservation

How the peptides stay in the serum and stay stable. Named, not hidden in a blend.

  • Aqua

    The solvent. Everything else rides in water.

  • Butylene Glycol

    Humectant and solvent for the actives.

  • Propanediol

    A glycol for slip and solvency.

  • Pentylene Glycol

    Humectant with mild preservation support.

  • Glycerin

    Classic humectant. Keeps the gel from feeling tight.

  • Propylene Glycol

    Solvent for botanicals that will not dissolve in water alone.

  • 1,2-Hexanediol

    Preservation booster.

  • Hydroxyacetophenone

    Antioxidant preservative helper.

  • Phenoxyethanol

    The primary preservative. Keeps a water-based serum stable.

  • Cyclodextrin

    Inclusion complex — helps keep actives soluble and stable.

  • Hydroxypropyl Cyclodextrin

    A second cyclodextrin for the harder-to-dissolve ingredients.

  • Xanthan Gum

    The gel. So the serum stays in the stamp instead of running off.

  • PPG-26-Buteth-26

    Solubilizer, paired with PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil.

  • PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil

    Solubilizer for the botanical fraction.

  • Dextran

    A carrier often used to stabilize tetrapeptide complexes.

  • Alcohol

    Solvent. Helps certain botanicals stay in solution.

  • Lecithin

    Phospholipid. Helps the serum sit on skin instead of beading.

  • Disodium Phosphate

    pH buffer.

  • Sodium Metabisulfite

    Antioxidant. Protects the copper peptides in the bottle.

  • Citric Acid

    pH adjuster.
