Caffeine stimulates the hair roots
Caffeine has been known for more than 20 years for its energising effect on hair roots. It is used in modern formulas to help refresh the scalp and support strong hair roots as part of a daily care routine.
Caffeine is therefore the most researched active ingredient of plant origin for strong hair roots.
Our research focuses on solutions for the most relevant hair problems. To achieve this, we continuously search for new, potent active ingredients and develop formulations optimised for men.
