ACETYL TETRAPEPTIDE-3 (and) TRIFOLIUM PRATENSE (CLOVER) FLOWER EXTRACT

Capixyl is a patented active complex developed by Lucas Meyer Cosmetics, combining a biomimetic tetrapeptide (Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3) with an isoflavone-rich red clover flower extract. The peptide component mimics the natural signaling proteins that stimulate extracellular matrix proteins in the dermal papilla, while biochanin A from the clover extract inhibits 5-alpha reductase activity, targeting a key enzymatic pathway implicated in androgenic hair thinning. Formulators choose Capixyl as a multi-mechanism hair loss active, typically used at 3% in leave-on scalp serums and hair density treatments, where it is clinically supported to improve hair anchoring, reduce hair loss, and enhance overall hair density.
