PinoPlex™ new Studies

A healthy scalp is the foundation of beautiful hair- yet a sensitive scalp in particular poses challenges for many people. A recent clinical study now shows how the innovative active ingredient PinoPlex™ can improve both the scalp and the hair.

In a placebo-controlled, randomized study, the effects of PinoPlex™ were examined over a 14-day period. A total of 47 participants with sensitive scalps took part, including a variety of hair textures ranging from straight to wavy to curly. The participants were between 18 and 72 years old and represented diverse ethnic backgrounds. All followed the same care routine: washing their hair, then massaging a mask into the scalp and hair three times a week- with or without 1% PinoPlex™.

The results speak for themselves. After just two weeks, the PinoPlex™ group showed a significant improvement in the scalp barrier. Transepidermal water loss, an important marker of skin barrier function, decreased by 21 %. This means the scalp was better able to retain moisture and was more resilient to external irritants, a crucial factor for sensitive or irritated skin.

The hair also showed visible improvement. Hair shine measurements revealed a 28 % increase, significantly more than in the placebo group. Microcamera images also confirmed a reduction in scalp redness and irritation.

The participants’ feedback was particularly compelling: nearly all reported shinier hair and a significantly less sensitive scalp. 100 % of users rated PinoPlex™ as an effective solution for their hair and scalp needs.

The conclusion was: PinoPlex™ specifically strengthens the scalp barrier, thereby laying the foundation for visibly more beautiful, healthier hair- regardless of hair type or ethnic background. A promising approach to modern, effective scalp care.
