Nanogen Follicle Defence Ingredients
Ingredient Highlights:
Anti-Hair Loss Complex
Follicle Defence contains caffeine, saw palmetto, taurine, beta-sitosterols, green tea, prunus africana and urtica
dioica extracts to reduce hair loss. Follicle Defence also contains Nanogen sh-VEGF complex to help reduce hair
loss and maintain healthy hair growth. The ingredients are delivered at high levels utilising the active condtioner
system.
Deep Penetrating Nutrients and Emollients
Emollients like cocos nucifera oil penetrate deep into the hair to give long lasting volume from within. Actives
L-cysteine and pantothenic acid nourish the hair, giving it a natural healthy shine.
Amphoteric Surfactants and Dipolar Amino Acids
Most conditioners coat the hair with a film that is the opposite electrostatic charge to natural hair. Follicle
Defence uses a patent pending combination of amphoteric surfactants and amino acids to mimic your hair’s natural
charge. This is the perfect charge for Nanofibres to bind to, and so maximises the hair thickening effect of the
Nanofibres.
Follicle Defence is safe and free from:
SLS and SLES
These common surfactants are very harsh and drying to hair. They can also leave skin dry and irritated when left on
the skin for several minutes, such as with Follicle Defence. Whilst not dangerous, SLS and SLES can be drying,
irritating, and pore-blocking, which may lead to folliculitis. Therefore no Nanogen product contains SLS or
SLES.
Parabens
Many people worry about the group of preservatives called parabens. Nanogen do not believe these are harmful, but
appreciate our client's concerns and so all our products are paraben free.
Glycols
Glycols such as propylene glycol are common preservatives and solvents. These can be pore-blocking and irritating,
and so no Nanogen products contains any form of glycol.
Formaldehyde Donors
Many common preservatives in cosmetics are formaldehyde donors. These are not dangerous, but formaldehyde will
damage skin and growing hair cells, so no Nanogen product contains them.
