Active Hair Serum

What is Active Hair Serum?

Active Hair Serum is a finished leave-on scalp serum that conditions the roots and helps hair look stronger, fuller and better cared for. It belongs to the IngredientOS ready serums line, where each product is built on actives from our own ingredient catalog.

Who it suits

It suits anyone who wants a light, non-rinse scalp step in a hair routine, from fine hair that looks flat to hair that feels dry after styling. It is designed for the scalp and roots rather than the lengths, so it works alongside the shampoo and conditioner you already use.

What is inside

The catalog records its composition as protein hydrolysates of plant origin, a vitamin complex, placenta hydrolyzate, beta-glucan and glycerol. Two of these are also sold on their own in our hub: Placenta Hydrolysate and Vegetable Glycerin. The protein hydrolysates condition the hair surface, while glycerol and beta-glucan help the scalp feel comfortable and moisturized.

How to apply Active Hair Serum

Step by step

Apply to a clean scalp, either towel-dried after washing or on dry hair between washes. Part the hair into sections, place a few drops along each part and massage gently with the fingertips for a minute so the serum spreads evenly. Do not rinse. Style as usual once it has absorbed.

Frequency and patch test

Most routines use it daily or every other day. Keep it away from the eyes, and patch test behind the ear before the first full use.

What to expect

Active Hair Serum has a light texture that absorbs into the scalp without leaving the roots greasy, so it fits both wash days and the days in between. Like any cosmetic hair product, it works on the look and feel of hair, and the best impression comes from steady use over several weeks rather than a single application. Keep notes or photos in the same light if you want to judge the change in how your hair looks and handles.

Building a routine with the ready serums

Active Hair Serum sits in the Ready Serums section together with the Placenta Hair Serum, which is the other scalp option in the line.

Made with actives from our ingredient hub

IngredientOS started as an ingredient hub: a growing catalog of peptides, hyaluronic acids, botanical extracts, oils and specialty actives sourced worldwide and shipped from Florida to brands and formulators. Active Hair Serum and the other ready serums exist to show those ingredients at work in a finished product. Orders usually ship in 1 to 2 business days, US shipping is free on orders of $50 or more, and serums can travel in the same box as any raw ingredients you order.

Storage

Keep Active Hair Serum tightly closed at room temperature and away from direct sun and heat, for example in a drawer rather than on a sunny windowsill. Dispense it with clean, dry hands, avoid letting water into the bottle, and close the cap after each use. If the serum ever changes color or smell noticeably, stop using it.

White label for brands

Brands, salons and spas can sell Active Hair Serum under their own label. We produce the serum, apply your label for you, and issue the CoA, SDS and TDS under your company header. The serum is available from a 0.33 oz (10 mL) sample up to 1 gallon, which makes it easy to test the feel before a larger run. Send the serums and volumes you need through our contact page. Tell us the bottle size, the number of units and where the order ships, and we will reply with a quote.
