This serum, with highly advanced phyto-based ingredients uses a combination of biological and biotechnological plant actives which help to prevent hair loss, stimulate growth, slow down the ageing of the hair and make the hair follicle and hair strand stronger, thus providing more volume. The natural ingredients included in this product also protect and calm irritated scalps, and their anti-oxidants combat the negative effects of chemical treatments.
MORE DETAILS+
We are all born with approximately 25 hair lifecyles. A lifecycle refers to the time each hair lasts in the scalp to the time it falls from the head and each hair lifecycle can range from 1 year to 5 years. The period of time for each lifecycle can determine whether you will be affected by early hair loss or not - the shorter the lifecycle resulting in early hair loss, the longer not. The diminishing time of a hair lifecycle in both men and women can be caused by or is the result of a variety of reasons. In 95% of all cases it is hereditary hair loss (Androgenic Alopecia) affecting up to 70% of all men, and 30-40% of women (mostly after the menopause). Each person typically has between 100,000-150,000 individual scalp hairs and on average 100 fall out each day. Exceeding this rate over a long period results in hair loss. There are many pharmaceutical treatment options for hair loss, however some can be potentially irritating and have possible adverse side effects. The Less is More Phytonutrient Serum is an effective natural alternative.
Key ingredients include:
ROOIBOS (Aspalathus Linearis Extract) - Improves the hair lifecycle rate, and appearance of hair. Is anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, skin soothing, antimicrobial.
GINSENG (Panax Ginseng Root Extract) - The Ginsenosides from Panax Ginseng promote hair growth via a similar mechanism as the chemical drug Minoxidil.
LAD'S LOVE (Artemisia Abrotanum Extract) - Promotes the development of new blood vessels.
UTTWILER SPÄTLAUBER STEM CELL EXTRACT (Malus Domestica Fruit Cell Culture Extract) - A liposomal preparation of apple stem cells of the old Swiss apple variety "Uttwiler Spätlauber". These apple stem cells are rich in epigenetic factors and metabolites which ensure the longevity of skin cells. In other words, it protects the skin stem cells and delays the deteriation (ageing process) of the hair follicles.
BASIL 'HAIRY ROOTS' EXTRACT (Ocimum Basilicum Hairy Root Culture Extract) - Highly active against hair loss. Increases the proliferation of dermal papilla cells in the hair follicles.
PEA SPROUTS (Pisum Sativum Sprout Extract) - Stimulates specific signaling molecules in the dermal papilla and reactivates hair growth.
FENUGREEK (Trigonella Foenum - Graecum Fruit Extract) - An anti-oxidative, and stimulates blood circulation. Helps to increase catalase (slowing of greying hair)
Further ingredients include essential oils of Thyme, Lavender, Rosemary and Atlas Cedar; cold pressed plant oils and phospholipids from Evening Primrose, Rose Hip Seed, Wheat Germ, Grape Seed and Lecithin; Peppermint oil and Nettle oil.

Typical causes of hair loss:
Diffuse hair loss (Telogen Effluvium) - This can be caused by nutrient and vitamin deficit, stress, hormonal and thyroid imbalances, aggressive chemical hair products, infection, trauma, medicine and/or auto-immune disorders. The appearance is the hair thinning all over the whole scalp. In most cases the effects are temporary, and if the cause of loss is treated then generally the hair loss disappears.
Hereditary hair loss (Androgenetic Alopecia) - Genetically caused, often when the hair roots are sensitive to the body's own hormone DHT (Dihydrotestosterone); hair thins gradually with age, often over several decades. For women the affect is mostly around the centre parting and for men, it represents a receding hairline to the point of baldness
Spot baldness (Alopecia Areata) - Affects approx. 1-2% of the worlds population. Causes are not entirely clear but could be due to auto-immune disorder and/or shock. For both men and women the appearance is of circular bald areas on the scalp.
HOW TO USE+
Once a day, gently massage a few drops into the whole scalp or just the areas affected by hair loss. Do not rinse and do not wash your hair immediately after applying the serum. Good to use at night, but can also be used on a clean scalp after washing.
