INCI: Trifolium Pratense (Red Clover) Flower Extract
Product Code: FD2604
Phytoestrogen-Rich Botanical for Visibly Fuller, Denser-Looking Hair
Trifolium Pratense (Red Clover) Flower Extract is a scientifically substantiated botanical standardized for its bioactive isoflavone content — the compounds responsible for its documented hair density and scalp health benefits.
Rich in formononetin, biochanin A, daidzein, and genistein, it works by supporting phytoestrogenic activity at the hair follicle level while inhibiting 5-alpha reductase — a key driver of DHT-related hair thinning. It's most effective in combination with scalp peptides such as Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3.
Why Trifolium Pratense (Red Clover) Flower Extract
- Supports hair density & fullness – promotes the anagen (active growth) phase at the follicle level
- Inhibits 5-alpha reductase – reduces local DHT conversion linked to follicle miniaturization
- Phytoestrogenic activity – engages estrogen receptors in dermal papilla cells to support follicle vitality
- Natural & sustainable – plant-derived, COSMOS-compatible, sustainably harvestable
- Clean & globally compliant – vegan, cruelty-free, biodegradable, free of synthetic hormones
