Nature meets advanced cosmetic science. In ALFHEIM’s Saw Palmetto Follicle Boost Scalp Serum, Saw Palmetto and Schizophyllan sit at the center of a scalp-first formula designed to support a healthier-feeling scalp environment and fuller-looking hair.
Rather than relying on a single hero ingredient, ALFHEIM combines botanical and biotechnology-led ingredients with complementary cosmetic actives as part of a targeted leave-in scalp routine.
A Scalp-First Foundation for Better-Looking Hair
ALFHEIM’s approach begins with the scalp. A well-cared-for scalp provides the foundation for hair that looks stronger, fuller, and healthier. The formula brings together ingredients selected for complementary roles within that routine.
Saw Palmetto
Saw Palmetto (Serenoa repens) is the signature botanical behind the collection and an important part of ALFHEIM’s root-focused ingredient story.
Supports a targeted routine for the scalp and roots.
Used within a formula developed around visible hair vitality and density.
Pairs naturally with ALFHEIM’s scalp-first product philosophy.
Schizophyllan
Schizophyllan is a polysaccharide associated with Schizophyllum commune and is incorporated into ALFHEIM’s serum as part of its advanced cosmetic ingredient system.
Complements a formula designed for regular leave-in scalp use.
Fits within a routine intended to support scalp comfort and conditioning.
Adds a biotechnology dimension to the botanical-led serum concept.
