Acacetin

Product Description

Acacetin is a high-performance, plant-derived flavonoid that offers a powerful, dual-action approach for both skin and hair care. It is highly valued for its potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, making it an excellent choice for soothing and protecting the skin. Its most significant and exciting advantage, however, lies in its scientifically-studied ability to promote hair growth by stimulating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in dermal papilla cells. In a market where consumers are seeking effective, natural solutions for hair thinning, Acacetin provides a cutting-edge, science-backed ingredient for advanced and targeted formulations.

Product Uses

This versatile active ingredient is a cornerstone for innovative, high-efficacy hair and skin products:

• Hair Care: The ideal hero ingredient for hair growth serums, scalp tonics, and leave-in treatments designed to combat hair loss and thinning.
• Skincare: A key component in soothing serums and creams for sensitive or irritated skin.
• Anti-Aging: Incorporated into protective anti-aging formulas for its potent antioxidant benefits.

Formulation Suggestions

The recommended dosage is between 0.1-1.0%. As an oil-soluble powder, Acacetin should be pre-dissolved in a suitable solvent system, such as a blend of glycols (e.g., propanediol) and ethanol, before being added to a formulation. It is best incorporated into the oil phase of an emulsion or into anhydrous scalp serums. To ensure stability, formulations should be protected from direct sunlight. It works synergistically with other hair growth actives and soothing agents.
