CAPIXYL™
CAPIXYL™ is an advanced active complex combining a biomimetic peptide, Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3, with red clover extract rich in Biochanin A, specifically designed to address hair loss and stimulate hair growth. It works by inhibiting 5-alpha reductase and strengthening hair follicle anchorage, promoting increased hair density and reduced shedding, as supported by clinical research.
Description
CAPIXYL™ is an innovative active complex developed to counteract hair loss and promote robust hair growth, standing out in the trichological ingredient landscape. This advanced formulation is a synergistic blend of a biomimetic peptide, Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3, and a potent red clover (Trifolium pratense) flower extract, rich in Biochanin A. Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3 is engineered to mimic the body's natural signaling molecules, directly influencing the hair follicle environment. Red clover, a perennial herbaceous plant, has been traditionally valued for its various health benefits and is now recognized for its specific isoflavone content. The combination leverages both synthetic precision and natural efficacy, creating a comprehensive approach to hair follicle revitalization. Its liquid form makes it highly suitable for incorporation into diverse cosmetic and dermatological preparations, ensuring optimal delivery and absorption for targeted action at the scalp level. This dual-action ingredient is characterized by its stability and compatibility within a broad range of formulations, making it a versatile choice for advanced hair care solutions.
The efficacy of CAPIXYL™ stems from its dual mechanism of action, targeting the primary causes of hair loss. The biomimetic peptide, Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3, directly stimulates collagen production and improves the structural integrity of the dermal papilla, which is crucial for hair follicle anchorage and growth. Research, including in vitro studies, suggests this peptide enhances the extracellular matrix proteins, thereby strengthening the connection between the hair shaft and the follicle. Concurrently, the red clover extract, standardized for its Biochanin A content, plays a pivotal role in modulating the inflammatory response and inhibiting the activity of 5-alpha reductase, an enzyme responsible for converting testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a major contributor to androgenetic alopecia, causing follicle miniaturization and hair thinning. By suppressing DHT production, Biochanin A helps to prolong the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle and reduce the telogen (resting/shedding) phase, promoting a healthier and fuller hair appearance. This comprehensive approach addresses both the hormonal and structural aspects of hair loss.
CAPIXYL™ is extensively utilized in a variety of high-performance hair care formulations, including serums, lotions, shampoos, conditioners, and topical treatments designed to combat hair thinning and promote density. Its liquid form ensures ease of integration into aqueous and emulsified systems. Quality considerations for CAPIXYL™ involve stringent sourcing of red clover extract to ensure high Biochanin A purity and concentration, alongside pharmaceutical-grade synthesis of Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3. Clinical studies have demonstrated CAPIXYL™'s effectiveness, with one notable study showing a significant increase in the anagen/telogen ratio by 46% and a reduction in hair loss by 29-30% after four months of use compared to a placebo. Another study observed a 79% increase in hair density and thickness in participants. These findings underscore its potential as a scientifically-backed solution for improving scalp health and hair vitality. Manufacturers incorporating CAPIXYL™ benefit from its robust scientific profile and its appeal to consumers seeking evidence-based solutions for hair health concerns.
