Title: Reviscalp™: Resolving Inflammation for a Healthy Scalp and Brighter Hair

Language: German

Abstract:

With the rise of the Skinification trend in hair care, it is now well-recognized that a healthy scalp determines the health and beauty of hair. Free radicals, ROS, and oxidative stress trigger the deterioration of scalp health which generates inflammation and increases scalp sebum production leading to irritation, the appearance of dandruff, oily scalp but also oily hair and reduced hair shine.

For many years, the inflammatory response was believed to be a 2-phase active process. Recent studies proved that to promote the return to homeostasis, the third phase of the inflammatory response, Resolution, must be activated. Resolution triggers the production of newly discovered molecules called Specialized Pro-Resolving mediators (SPMs) which reduce the inflammation cycle and oxidative stress while optimizing the return to homeostasis. SPMs had been studied only in skin and showed great efficacy to end chronic inflammation process and promote tissue regeneration. Because inflammation and oxidative stress are key elements characterizing unhealthy scalp leading to dandruff appearance, sebum excess on scalp and hair or hair dull, Lucas Meyer Cosmetics investigated the presence and the role of SPMs on scalp for the first time in cosmetics.

ReviScalp™ is a natural and sustainable extract from the endemic Australian Aniseed Myrtle, standardized in ellagic acid content, a polyphenol known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties.
While most of anti-inflammatory solutions for scalp care focus on decreasing pro-inflammatory mediators, ReviScalp™ was designed to resolve inflammation by boosting the production of the newly discovered and highly innovative SPMs to accelerate the return to scalp homeostasis to improve scalp health. Clinically proven on men and women, ReviScalp™ rebalances sebum production and scalp pH, decreases dandruff appearance, restores scalp health, and increases hair brightness.

ReviScalp™ is China-compliant, preservative-free, COSMOS-approved, 100% natural origin (ISO 16128), and vegan-certified by the Vegan Society.
