Science
Neofollics stands for a scientific approach to solving hair problems. Here we explain the basics about the science behind our products.
All hairs on our body grow from hair follicles. These hair follicles are located in the skin and produce the hair, which is made up of keratin. Hair follicles must function properly to grow healthy hair. The hair is not always growing. With hair on the head, 90% is in the growth phase at any given time. The other 10% of the hair has stopped growing and then falls out quickly (catagen phase) or is in the resting phase (telogen phase).
To grow healthy hair it is important under normal circumstances that the hair follicles are sufficiently nourished with building materials for the hair. Several factors often play a role in reduced hair growth, thinning hair or hair loss. The main causes for hair loss or reduced hair growth are:
Solution: applying ingredients that stimulate hair growth
Although the type of hair problem and the possible cause can be quickly pinpointed, a combination of factors often play a role in most people. This requires a complete approach. Our philosophy is based on a treatment based on ingredients that tackles the hair problem in a unique way. The administration of individual ingredients can influence one or more biochemical processes.

Discover the ingredients
The products of Neofollics Hair Technology are composed with care. Each product consists of scientifically proven high quality hair growth stimulating ingredients, both natural ingredients and hair growth molecules. We also value that our products are free of harmful substances such as SLS and other sulphates, silicones and parabens.
Our products contain many natural ingredients that inhibit the formation of DHT. The conversion of testosterone into di-hydro-testosterone (DHT) is an important cause of (hereditary) hair loss. DHT damages the hair follicles that are sensitive to DHT, causing them to produce less and thinner hair.
Ecklonia cava is a seaweed from the waters of South Korea. Ecklonia cava is a natural alternative to hair growth stimulants.
Panax ginseng is a plant whose root is a lso called Chinese / Korean ginseng. Panax Ginseng can promote hair regrowth by inhibiting DHT. In addition, it has an inflammatory effect.
The nettle plant has been used as a natural medicine for a long time. *
Red clover is an herb that often grows wild in meadows all over Europe and Asia. It is considered one of the richest sources of isoflavones, also known as phytoestrogens.
Isoflavone complex is derived from multiple plant species and extracted to obtain a high concentration. *
Green tea extract is obtained from the leaves of Camelia Sinensis. Green tea contains a high concentration of polyphenols and flavonoids, including Epigallocatechin gallate or EGCG. Green tea also contains zinc and selenium.
Beta-sitosterol is a botanical found as a minor component in plants such as saw palmetto and nettle leaf.
Saw palmetto is a small berry plant that has been used as a medicine by Native Americans for hundreds of years.
Our products contain various (biotechnological) molecules, such as caffeine and the hair growth molecules Neoxyl®, Vividine® and Aminexil®. In addition, they contain plant extracts to influence a wide variety of growth factors. Also important for hair growth is improving the condition of the scalp with ingredients that have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and anti-fungal properties.
Raspberry ketone, also known as rheosmin, is a natural phenolic compound extracted from red raspberries. Rasberry ketone is famous for its alleged weight loss properties.
Sanguisorba officinalis (large burnet) is a plant that belongs to the rose family. Sanguisorba officinalis stimulates hair growth by prolonging the growth phase of the hair follicle.

Carthamus tinctorius (safflower) is a thistle-like plant. Carthamus tinctorius stimulates hair growth in several ways and suppresses growth factor B-1, a peptide associated with hair loss.
Vividine provides potassium channel opening (PCO), just like Minoxidil. This makes the hair enter the growth phase faster and the growth phase lasts longer.
Aminexil prevents collagen from hardening around the hair root, causing the hair roots to anchor more firmly in the scalp, thus reducing hair loss.
Applying Adenosine to the scalp can improve hair growth in both men and women.
Caffeine stimulates the scalp and is easily absorbed into the skin. Caffeine has long been known as a substance with hair growth stimulating properties.
Copper tri-peptide complex has an anti-inflammatory effect and stimulates hair growth. Studies show that the activity of GHK-Cu on hair growth is comparable to that of Minoxidil.

In order for the hair to grow properly, the hair roots need the right nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and amino acids. Poor hair condition or hair loss can be affected by a lack of essential nutrients. For healthy hair growth, some nutrients are so important that a higher dose gives a much better result. For other nutrients, too high a dosage can be harmful, both for hair growth and for general health. That’s why it’s important to get the right amounts and proportions.
