Spanish personal care ingredient maker Algaktiv has taken the wraps off Densidyl, an anti-hair loss and anti-hair greying active.
The product leverages advanced microalgae technology to offer unparalleled protection and rejuvenation for hair follicles, setting new standards in hair care.
Algaktiv says Densidyl represents a significant breakthrough in hair care, combining the potent antioxidant properties of phycocyanin from Spirulina maxima and the stress-modulating effects of xanthophylls from Chlorella emersonii.
Encapsulated in a pharma-grade delivery system for stronger performance, this unique formulation provides a comprehensive 360° shield against both environmental and emotional stressors, ensuring holistic protection and revitalization of hair follicles.
For hair stimulation, Densidyl demonstrated a fourfold increase in hair length compared to EGF and a twofold increase compared to Minoxidil – the pharma molecule of reference - after just seven days of treatment in cultured human hair follicles.
For hair loss reduction, in a five-month clinical study involving a large panel of 50 volunteers (both men and women suffering from stress-related hair loss), Densidyl showed a 25.9% increase in hair in anagen phase (the growing phase) and an 11.43% increase in hair density, representing an average of 10,200 new hairs.
For pigmentation recovery, volunteers experienced a significant reduction in grey hair, with visibly improved natural hair colour and overall scalp health.
For scalp moisturization, the product increased scalp moisturization by 26.7%, enhancing overall scalp health and appearance.
“Algaktiv Densidyl’s innovative approach underscores our commitment to developing cutting-edge, sustainable, and highly effective hair care solutions,” said marketing director Alexandre Lapeyre.
“This product not only meets but exceeds the expectations of modern consumers who seek both efficacy and environmental responsibility."
