Ingredients to Help with Gray Hair

For concerns about gray hair, we recommend ingredients that help stimulate melanin production in the hair follicles. Two notable peptides for this purpose are:

• GreyReverse™ (Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-20): This peptide works by stimulating the Alpha-MSH process, which is involved in hair pigmentation. Studies have shown it can help reduce the occurrence of white or gray hair over time, affecting new hair growth.
• MSH Black™ (Acetyl Hexapeptide-1): Similar to GreyReverse™, this peptide also stimulates Alpha-MSH and melanin production. It has been shown in trials to help reduce the appearance of premature graying, specifically impacting new hair growth rather than reversing existing gray hair.

Both ingredients are typically used in hair care products like hair sprays or serums. They should be mixed in water and should not be exposed to heat during formulation. The recommended usage rate is typically 1-5%, with 5% often recommended for optimal results in reducing white/gray hair.
