DESCRIPTION
ARCOLYS® is a natural active ingredient that restores the natural hair color, reduces hair graying while enhancing mood.
MECHANISM
ARCOLYS® targets the mechanisms underlying hair graying (canities) : high oxidative stress and loss of active melanocytes in the hair follicle. ARCOLYS® fights against oxidative stress affecting aged graying hair, by activating the expression of antioxidant defenses in melanocytes and by reducing ROS in dermal papilla cells. ARCOLYS® strongly stimulates melanogenesis, under basal condition as well as under oxidative stress condition, leading to hair repigmentation.
COSMETIC BENEFITS
Clinically tested on volunteers with white hair, ARCOLYS® restores the natural hair color and visibly decreases white hair density from 2.5 months of use. Then, ARCOLYS® offers a holistic approach of hair care, by significantly boosting self-esteem and by reducing unpleasant mood (according to well-recognized psychometric questionnaires), thus emphazing the connection between hair health and individual’s self-representation.
