The increased concentration of cholesterol in the hair follicles, which are in the telogen phase, is considered responsible for preventing the transition of the follicles to the anagen phase, ultimately resulting in the inhibition of hair growth in androgenetic alopecia (3, 4, 5, 6).
The combination of the ingredients Polysorbate-60 and Polysorbate-80 has been shown to increase the removal of cholesterol and, consequently, of androgenic steroid hormones from the hair follicle, modifying the transfer of these substances from the cell membrane (1, 2, 3, 4).
Clinical studies, with material of men and women aged 17-64 years, who suffered from androgenetic alopecia and were subjected to topical treatment for 6 months with a preparation containing Polysorbate-60 & Polysorbate-80 showed:
Significant improvement in hair growth in 78% of volunteers whose androgenetic alopecia dated back 1-3 years.
Significant improvement in hair growth in 43% of volunteers whose androgenetic alopecia dated back more than 5 years.
Impressive reduction of increased sebum secretion on the scalp in 93% of volunteers.
Excellent tolerance in 95% of volunteers.
