Apiscalp Key Benefits
The multifunctional active comprises a natural extract of Apium graveolens (celery) seeds obtained via a supercritical CO2 extraction process.
It complies with Chinese cosmetics regulations and is COSMOS-approved.
Apiscalp reportedly addresses:
- oily and dry scalps to combat dandruff, itching, dryness and hyperseborrhea;
- local microflora (Malassezia) proliferation associated with itchy and flaking scalps;
- the restoration of the scalp stratum corneum integrity for an improved skin barrier;
- and regulation of epidermal differentiation and desquamation.
Apiscalp Textured Hair Benefits
Per the latest research, Apiscalp reduces scalp itching by 80% among those test subjects with textured hair.
It also improves scalp hydration by 43 % after 3 weeks’ application.
Study volunteers reported an improvement in the flaking state of their scalp in as little as one application, per Croda Beauty Actives, with an average reduction of 19%. After 3 weeks, this reduction grew to 63%, regardless of gender or hair type.
"More in vivo and in vitro studies, available on demand, have been conducted to demonstrate its various benefits on scalp beauty and wellness," per the company.
