Question

Is it possible to formulate a shampoo that can both stimulate hair growth and provide white hair coverage? What ingredients would be suitable for these functions?

Answer

Hair Growth and White Hair Coverage in Shampoo

To create a shampoo that stimulates hair growth and addresses white hair, you can consider different ingredients for each function.

For stimulating hair growth and reducing hair loss, ingredients like Clover Flower Extract (Biochanin A 98%) and Minoxil™ (Diaminopyrimidine Oxide) are effective. They work by improving hair follicle health, increasing blood circulation to the scalp, and extending the hair growth phase.

Regarding instant white hair coverage in a shampoo, this is generally challenging to achieve with cosmetic ingredients that wash off quickly. However, for reducing the appearance of white hair over time, you can consider using GreyReverse™ (Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-20). This ingredient helps stimulate the natural hair pigmentation process to reduce gray and white hair gradually with continued use, rather than providing instant coverage.

Therefore, while you can formulate a shampoo with ingredients to stimulate hair growth and reduce white hair over time, achieving instant white hair coverage directly within a shampoo formula is not typically feasible with the available ingredients.
