The natural active ingredient for skin care sabal serrulata lipophil is an extract from the Sabal Serenoa nuts of a dwarf palm species. It is most commonly found in Florida and Texas, where it grows naturally.
The natural extract is anti-inflammatory and protects the skin barrier, which makes it suitable for care products against dry or itchy skin.
Sabal serulata inhibits the production of the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, responsible for the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which causes amongst other things weakening of the hair bulb and thus hair loss.
