Kolmar Korea has made a significant breakthrough in hair loss treatment with its discovery of the hair loss mitigation properties of Sophora flavescens extract. This finding was showcased at the 13th World Congress for Hair Research (WCHR) in Dallas, Texas, where the company announced its pioneering research and the industry’s first patent application for the extract’s use in hair loss prevention.
Sophora flavescens, a traditional Korean legume known for its digestive, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer properties, has now been identified by Kolmar Korea as effective in strengthening hair roots and promoting hair growth. The company’s research indicates that the extract not only enhances hair growth but also reduces the expression of genes associated with stress and environmental particulate matter-induced hair loss.
This natural extract is also highlighted for its minimal skin irritation, making it an ideal component for premium hair loss cosmetics. Kolmar Korea plans to incorporate this extract into a new line of hair care products tailored for both adults and sensitive groups such as pregnant women and infants.
The announcement also covered Kolmar Korea’s integration of microbiome technology into hair loss treatment. They have developed “biome-scented” ingredients that inhibit hair loss-causing bacteria and promote a healthy scalp ecosystem. This innovation positions Kolmar Korea at the forefront of the hair care industry, with multiple patents filed across three countries.
Furthering their technological advancements, Kolmar Korea has enhanced hair loss diagnostics through the identification of scalp microbiome-based biomarkers. These biomarkers, which utilize proteins, DNA, RNA, and metabolic substances, enable more accurate detection and analysis of hair loss conditions.
With these developments, Kolmar Korea is set to revolutionize the global market for hair loss products, responding to growing demand with scientifically-backed, natural solutions.
