Hair Therapy: a new era in hair care
“Despite often being neglected in favour of the skin, our hair and scalp deserve the same amount of care and attention. With over 50 years’ expertise in fibroblasts, our Research Laboratories have pioneered the field of hair longevityand studied dermal papilla fibroblasts. This has culminated in a new range of five essential products designed as skincare formulas. ” Dr Olivier Courtin-Clarins
Scientific innovation
The scalp is a type of skin in its own right, with its own key cells. Among these cells, at the root of the hair, are the fibroblasts of the dermal papillae. Acting as the driving force behind hair vitality, these fibroblasts promote hair density by producing growth factors while also strengthening the hair bulb’s anchorage by stimulating the production of specific proteins which are essential for stronger hair, as well as encouraging cell proliferation by promoting hair growth and improving hair quality. As we age and suffer from stress and external factors, these cells become damaged, causing the hair to lose its shine, strength and density. By understanding these mechanisms, our Research Laboratories have been able to develop a range of five expert ‘Skin Care Inside’ products with targeted effects.
THE SERUM HAIR TECH, for a fortified scalp
For this star hair care routine formula, our Research Laboratories have developed [F_03 TECHNOLOGY], which stimulates the fibroblast in the dermal papilla to promote thicker, stronger and shinier hair. It combines two well-known leading skincare ingredients, panthenol and niacinamide, with an addictive signature fragrance. This silicone-free serum contains 96% ingredients of natural origin.
