Higher Growth Phase Retention Compared to Minoxidil

Expanding Research on Hair Growth Ingredients

LG Household & Health Care has discovered a combination of ingredients that may help promote hair growth and maintenance. The results of this study were published in the international journal 'Scientific Reports.'


The Technology Research Institute of LG Household & Health Care has been focusing on Cnidium officinale, a medicinal herb used to improve scalp health, since 2009. Cnidium officinale is an herb mentioned in traditional medical texts such as Dongui Bogam and Compendium of Materia Medica. Based on this, the researchers explored the potential of regulating cellular energy metabolism related to hair follicle activation.

LG Household & Health Care conducted experiments using an extract derived from Cnidium officinale, known as a traditional herbal medicine, in combination with 'NM,' a compound commonly used in aging-related research.


The results showed that this combination enhanced the activity of the key cells responsible for producing hair and positively influenced the generation of energy needed for hair growth.


Additionally, the combination was found to extend the duration of the hair growth phase. When compared to widely known ingredients for improving hair loss, this combination demonstrated a greater effect on maintaining hair growth.



Naegyu Kang, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of LG Household & Health Care, stated, "With this study, we plan to continue developing new materials for hair growth technology that help strengthen and thicken hair. In addition to confirming the potential of ferulic acid derived from Cnidium officinale, we will expand our research to include combinations with NMN, further advancing studies on hair growth and volume improvement."
