Unique Complexes

Triaminocoptinol Complex
Supports the reduction of excessive hair loss and stimulates new hair growth. Focuses on the 3 main causes of hair loss; 5a-Reductase (converts to DHT), insufficient blood circulation and weak anchoring of the hair.

Femmigen Complex
This complex consists of various anti-androgens, vitamins and minerals that inhibit the formation of DHT in the hair follicle. In addition, this complex purifies the scalp from, among other things, DHT (Dihydrotestosterone), the primary cause of hair loss. Focuses on the specific causes of hair loss in women.

Nutracell Complex
A unique complex to increase the microcirculation of the scalp, thereby stimulating blood flow to the hair follicles. This ensures a better uptake of oxygen and nutrients needed for the development of healthy hair follicles and hair growth.

Purezero Complex
This unique SLS and SLES free complex cleans clogged hair follicles carefully and thoroughly, promoting healthy hair growth.

Colour Retention Complex
A complex that is developed to protect color treated hair against UV radiation and ‘shampoo washout’, resulting in a more lively and long- lasting color result.
