Tricosaccaride

Tricosaccaride is a proprietary cosmetic active ingredient developed by Foltène Pharma, consisting of a mixture of natural mucopolysaccharides. It is designed for topical application to the scalp to address hair loss and thinning. The ingredient works by stimulating natural hair regrowth, strengthening the hair shaft, and normalizing the hair's growth cycle. Biologically, it is reported to improve scalp microcirculation and facilitate intracellular exchanges while assisting in the removal of waste products from the hair follicle. Clinical evaluations have demonstrated its ability to increase the percentage of hair in the anagen (growth) phase and decrease the percentage in the telogen (shedding) phase. It is primarily marketed in various hair care formulations such as vials, foams, and shampoos.
