Hair Thickness
Increases hair shaft diameter and overall density, with visible improvements in hair fullness over 12-16 weeks
Anti InflammatoryModerate＋
Skin Irritation Reduction
Reduces redness, irritation, and sensitivity through anti-inflammatory mechanisms and improved skin barrier function
Antioxidant Protection
Protects skin from environmental damage and oxidative stress through powerful antioxidant properties
Healing Enhancement
Accelerates minor wound healing and reduces post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation for clearer skin
