Formulation Deep Dive

Act+Acre Cold Processed Stem Cell Serum by Act+Acre is formulated as a high-performance, water-based scalp treatment designed to support follicle longevity and cellular health.

The formulation strategy centers on a synergistic blend of Apple Stem Cell Extract and Pea Sprout Extract to promote hair density, complemented by Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) and Panthenol (Provitamin B5) to strengthen the scalp barrier and reduce inflammation. Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (Aloe Vera) and Sodium Hyaluronate further enhance hydration and soothing properties. The system is stabilized with Hydroxyethylcellulose and utilizes a clean-label preservative blend of Phenoxyethanol and Ethylhexylglycerin to ensure microbiological stability.
