Hair Growth and Loss Prevention Ingredients

You're looking for ingredients to help reduce hair loss and promote new hair growth, and you're concerned about the air sensitivity of Melatonin Forte. You're considering Biotin Express as an alternative.

The staff has confirmed that Biotin Express is currently available.

Biotin is a well-known ingredient for hair health. We offer several forms:

• Biotin Express: This is a liquid form containing 10% Biotin. It is easy to use and can be mixed directly into your formula at a recommended rate of 1-2%.
• Pure-Biotin™: This is a high-purity (>99%) Biotin powder. It needs to be dispersed in your formula. For better absorption into the skin or scalp, it is recommended to include 3-7% Urea (ideally 5%) and about 10% of the Urea amount in Triacetin (e.g., 0.5% Triacetin for 5% Urea). The recommended usage rate for Pure-Biotin™ is 0.1-0.2%.
• ActiveRelease™ Biotin: This is an encapsulated form of Biotin powder that is water-soluble from pH 3.5 upwards. Research suggests better absorption into the scalp at pH 4-5. It can be mixed at a rate of 1-5%.
• Biotinyl-GHK: Also known as Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1, this is a peptide that combines Biotin with a GHK peptide sequence. It is a liquid that dissolves in water and is used at a rate of 1-3%, with 3% recommended. It works by binding to hair proteins to accelerate growth.

While Melatonin Forte and Pure-Melatonin™ have research supporting their use for hair growth, your concern about their air sensitivity is valid. Finished products containing Melatonin should be packaged to minimize air exposure, such as in vacuum tubes, as continuous exposure can significantly degrade the ingredient.

Considering your preference for ease of use and stability compared to Melatonin, Biotin Express is a suitable option. Pure-Biotin™ and ActiveRelease™ Biotin are other forms of Biotin you could consider, depending on your formulation needs and desired absorption profile. Biotinyl-GHK offers a peptide-based approach to hair growth.
