Anti-Graying

Anti-graying treatments aim to combat the loss of pigment in hair, which occurs due to reduced melanin production as we age. These products often contain ingredients that target the underlying mechanisms of pigmentation loss, such as antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. By supporting melanin production and protecting hair follicles, they can help delay or reduce the appearance of gray hair. Regular use of such treatments may contribute to maintaining natural hair color and overall hair health.

Biomarker Testing List:

Biomarker	Scientific Pathway Details	Used to Prove Claims
Glutathione	Glutathione is an antioxidant that protects melanocytes from oxidative damage. Lower levels of glutathione can lead to increased oxidative stress and accelerated graying.	Antioxidant Protection
Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone (MSH)	MSH stimulates melanocytes to produce melanin. Lower levels of MSH can reduce melanin production and contribute to graying.	Stimulated Melanin Production
Melanin	Melanin is synthesized in melanocytes via the enzyme tyrosinase. Decreased melanin production results in lighter (gray or white) hair.	Color Restoration
Tyrosinase	Tyrosinase catalyzes the conversion of tyrosine to melanin in melanocytes. Reduced tyrosinase activity leads to decreased melanin production and gray hair.	Enhanced Melanin Production

Scientific Driven with our Technology:

Using our expertise in immunology and cell culture, we develop immunoassays based on ELISA principle. Using cutting edge tools like 3D tissues (some of which are OECD approved for skin / cornea irritation), we bring the human experimentation into the labs. Curating a list of research publications, we have developed a platform to test products for their biomarkers mimicking the human model to generate data to back our label claims.

Antioxidant Capacity Testing

Products that claim to prevent graying often contain antioxidants. Testing their ability to neutralize free radicals can confirm the efficacy of these anti-aging ingredients.

Melanin Production Testing

This service evaluates whether a product can stimulate the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for hair color. It is often done through in-vitro cell-based assays using melanocytes.

In-Vitro Hair Follicle Culture Assays

Hair follicles can be cultured in the lab to test how a product affects hair pigmentation, growth, and the prevention of graying at the follicular level.

Catalase Activity Assays

Graying is linked to a decrease in catalase, an enzyme that breaks down hydrogen peroxide, which can cause hair to lose color. Testing for catalase activity helps assess a product’s potential to prevent or reverse graying.
