Formulation Deep Dive

CÉCRED Restoring Hair & Edge Drops is a high-performance, water-based hair serum designed to optimize the scalp environment and enhance follicle vitality. The formulation utilizes a lightweight, fast-absorbing carrier system composed of water, propanediol, and butylene glycol, ensuring effective delivery of actives without greasy residue. The active performance is driven by a synergistic peptide complex featuring Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3 and Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1 to support hair anchorage and density, while Bioactive Keratin Ferment (Lactobacillus/Honey/Keratin Ferment) and Saccharomyces/Rice Ferment Filtrate provide essential amino acids for structural repair. To further revitalize the scalp, the formula incorporates botanical extracts such as Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) Root and Rosa Centifolia Flower. The system is stabilized with citric acid for pH balance and utilizes a clean-label preservative blend of phenoxyethanol, ethylhexylglycerin, and potassium sorbate to ensure long-term formula integrity.

Functions as a preservative (antimicrobial), protecting water-containing formulations primarily against yeasts and molds, with weaker activity against bacteria. Its activity is pH-dependent and strongest in acidic systems (effective below roughly pH 6, optimal near pH 4.4), so it is used in low-pH products and is commonly paired with a second preservative such as sodium benzoate for broad-spectrum coverage.

Preservative
Linalool CAUTION
A naturally-occurring floral terpene alcohol fragrance component, listed individually as an EU-declared allergen when present above regulatory thresholds.
