Formulation Deep Dive

Divi's Divi Scalp Serum is formulated as a water-based, nutrient-dense scalp treatment designed to promote follicle health and hair density. The carrier system utilizes a clean, lightweight base of water and glycerin, supplemented by sodium PCA, sodium lactate, and a comprehensive amino acid complex—including arginine, glycine, alanine, and serine—to mimic the scalp's natural moisturizing factors and ensure optimal hydration without lipid-heavy residue. The active strategy features a synergistic blend of acetyl tetrapeptide-3 and copper tripeptide-1 to support structural integrity, while caffeine and biotin provide metabolic stimulation to the hair bulb. Botanical extracts such as Melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree) oil, Rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) leaf extract, and menthol provide antimicrobial properties and localized microcirculation. The formulation is stabilized through a precise electrolyte balance and utilizes a modern preservative system of phenylpropanol and ethylhexylglycerin to maintain the efficacy of the water-soluble botanical and peptide complex.
