Formulation Deep Dive
Nutrafol Hair Serum is formulated as a high-performance, water-based scalp treatment designed to support hair density and follicle health. The carrier system utilizes a blend of water and glycerin as primary humectants to facilitate the delivery of botanical actives without weighing down the hair. The formulation strategy leverages a synergistic complex of Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract (Green Tea), Pisum Sativum Extract (Pea Sprout), and Larix Europaea Wood Extract to target the hair growth cycle and minimize thinning. This is further enhanced by Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) and Melatonin to support the scalp barrier and provide antioxidant protection. The system is stabilized in a phosphate buffered saline base and utilizes a preservative blend of sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate to ensure long-term formulaic integrity.
