Formulation Deep Dive

Better Not Younger’s Superpower Fortifying Hair & Scalp Serum is formulated as a high-performance, water-based treatment designed to revitalize the scalp environment and strengthen aging hair. The carrier system utilizes Aqua (Deionized Water) and Butylene Glycol as a humectant base, combined with Polysorbate-20 and Peg-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil to ensure a lightweight, non-greasy delivery of oil-soluble components. The active strategy features a synergistic blend of Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), Caffeine, and Centella Asiatica (Gotu Kola) Extract to stimulate microcirculation and support skin barrier integrity, while Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1 and Oleanolic Acid specifically target follicle health. The formulation is further enriched with Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein for structural reinforcement and Ceramide Ng to maintain lipid balance. The system is stabilized through the emulsifying properties of Ppg-26-Buteth-26 and preserved with a combination of Phenoxyethanol and Ethylhexylglycerin to ensure microbial stability.
