Greentech Group already provides natural solutions from the marine world to protect skin, now the company’s R&D department is focusing on hair loss (alopecia). Using a systemic approach including the study of the Wnt / β-catenin cell signaling pathway, the key to the hair cycle and the study of the scalp microbiota, Greentech has created Hairline, a scalp microbiota modulator.
The scalp is a hot and humid environment, rich in sebum, which is why it contains many yeasts, particularly from Malassezia species involved in the occurrence of dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis and alopecia. Among these bacteria, the most common are C. acnes and S. epidermidis but there are also local populations that synthesize vitamins and nutrients essential for hair growth. The link between alopecia and imbalance of the scalp microbiota has not been investigated enough, according to Greentech.
Thanks to a metagenomic study, Greentech has characterized the scalp microbiota of people suffering from alopecia, and it has evaluated molecules that are found in the plant world and could modulate this microbiota. As a result, Hairline was born.
Hairiline reduces the C. acnes/ S. epidermidis ratio, which is strongly increased in the case of alopecia, causing micro-inflammation. Also, it rebalances the M. globosa and M.restrica ratio.
In vitro studies have shown Hairline has a significant impact on the inhibitors of the Wnt pathway, the key of hair growth. These results are reflected in user satisfaction: 77% of users observed a slowing down of hair loss while 81% noted an acceleration of hair growth.
