Abstract:
Scalp health' is meaning the length, lustre and health of your hair depends on the skin that covers your head. With stress and pollution levels consistently creeping up and up. it's hardly surprising we've all got scalp issues on our mind. Each hair grows from, and through, an individual follicle which surfaces on your scalp. Sebum is also produced by each individual follicle via the sebaceous gland, the amount of which will vary from person to person. It is essential that the follicle and the scalp, at point of exit, are clean, clear, healthy and maintained. Follicles that are full of sebum (oil) or blocked by dead or flaking skin will have an impact on the quality of hair growth. In this study, we screened the cosmetic substances which Improve scalp environment. In the result, we found Lactococcus Ferment Lysate addresses those processes of particular importance for the scalp. Making the scalp more robust will make it less sensitive. Improving its barrier function helps it lock in water much more effectively. Scalp becomes more moisturized. Lactococcus Ferment Lysate also addresses excessive sebum production, which is another important concern for many consumers.

Introduction:
In this study, we screened the cosmetic substances which Improve scalp environment, we found Lactococcus Ferment Lysate addresses can making the scalp more robust will make it less sensitive. Improving its barrier function helps it lock in water much more effectively. Scalp becomes more moisturized. Lactococcus Ferment Lysate also addresses excessive sebum production, which is another important concern for many consumers.
Methods:
A shampoo containing 3% Lactococcus Ferment Lysate was tested against the same shampoo without Lactococcus Ferment Lysate (placebo, vehicle) in an in vivo study on 40 volunteers with reported problematic scalp. Twenty volunteers tested the placebo shampoo, and 20 volunteers tested the shampoo with Lactococcus Ferment Lysate. During 4 weeks the volunteers washed their hair with the shampoos on alternate days. The volunteers were requested to wash their hair for at least 2 minutes every time before rinsing out.
Formulations (INCI)
Verum: (formulation with 3% Lactococcus Ferment Lysate): Aqua,Sodium laureth Sulfate,Cocamidopropyl betaine,Lactococcus Ferment Lysate,Polyquaternium-44,Sodium Chloride,Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Citric Acid
Placebo: Aqua,Sodium laureth Sulfate,Cocamidopropyl betaine, Polyquaternium-44,Sodium Chloride,Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Citric Acid
The oiliness and overall condition of the scalp was assessed objectively by an expert grader who employed Sebufix® and CorneofixR technologies
Results:
General scalp condition was assessed by an expert grader as described above. After the 4-week treatment with the shampoos, the results were clear: the scalp of the volunteers who had washed their hair with the shampoo containing Lactococcus Ferment Lysate showed healthier scalp compared to those who had washed their hair with the placebo - the improvement was 55% and 45% respectively
The activity of the shampoos on this aspect was assessed by the expert grader, as de-scribed above, as well. The results obtained with the shampoo containing Lactococcus Ferment Lysate were quite remarkable: whereas the placebo had reduced the oiliness of the scalp only by less than 5%, the shampoo with Lactococcus Ferment Lysate had reduced this negative aspect by more than 30%
The volunteers in the study also perceived clear differences between the shampoos. After 4 weeks of using the shampoos,80% of the volunteers who used the shampoo with Lactococcus Ferment Lysate reported that their scalp felt healthier. The percentage was only 60% for the placebo shampoo. Interestingly, 85% of the volunteers who had used the shampoo with Lactococcus Ferment Lysate stated that their scalp felt less oily, whereas this was true for only 50% of the other group
Discussion and Conclusion:
Effective scalp care is demanding, both from a biological and a formulation point of view. The scalp is unique and presents unique problems, and consumers show high interest in personal care products that are beneficial for their scalp, products which treat scalp dryness, oiliness and sensitivity. When it comes to the application and use of cosmetic products, the average consumer mostly wants convenience. Effective treatment of the scalp with a shampoo is, therefore, eminently important. Lactococcus Ferment Lysate can have important benefits for the skin even if it is contained in rinse-off formulations. as this study showed, also works strongly in cleansing products.
