As the global beauty industry shifts toward science-backed ingredients, two actives are standing at the center of Alfheim Beauty’s most advanced formulas: Saw Palmetto, a botanical known for its hair-supporting benefits, and Schizophyllan, Alfheim’s patented bioactive that elevates ingredient performance to an entirely new level.

Together, they form the technological backbone of Alfheim’s new scalp science era, most notably showcased in the clinically evaluated Saw Palmetto Follicle Boost Scalp Serum (verified in Intertek Report No. GZCRS-2025-BS-01EN) .

Saw Palmetto: A Proven Botanical for Fuller, Stronger Hair

Saw Palmetto (Serenoa repens) is a fruit extract long recognized in dermatology and trichology for its powerful benefits on hair density and thinning.

How Saw Palmetto Works

Hair thinning is commonly linked to DHT (dihydrotestosterone)—a hormone that causes hair follicles to shrink, shorten growth cycles, and produce weaker, finer strands.

Saw Palmetto has been shown to:

✔ Inhibit DHT at the follicle level

It reduces the conversion of testosterone into DHT, helping protect follicles from miniaturization.

✔ Prolong the growth (anagen) phase

Allowing hair to grow longer, stronger, and denser.

✔ Reduce shedding

Aligning with the clinical data: Alfheim’s serum demonstrated a 61.31% reduction in hair loss in 90 days.

✔ Support the growth of thicker, fuller-looking strands

By maintaining follicle health and minimizing breakage.

With its strong record in men's and women's hair wellness, Saw Palmetto is considered one of the most effective natural follicle-support ingredients available today.

Schizophyllan: Alfheim’s Patented Ingredient Redefining Scalp Science

While Saw Palmetto targets the hormonal and follicular environment, Alfheim elevates its formulas with a patented bioactive ingredient: Schizophyllan.

Extracted from Schizophyllum commune, a medicinal mushroom rich in beta-glucans, Schizophyllan is a high-performance polysaccharide known for its exceptional biological activity.

Why Schizophyllan Matters in Haircare

✔ Enhances Ingredient Penetration

Schizophyllan acts as a delivery-boosting polymer, helping key actives (like Saw Palmetto) travel deeper toward the follicle root — where results truly begin.

✔ Strengthens Scalp Barrier Function

A balanced, resilient scalp barrier is essential for consistent hair growth and reduced inflammation.

✔ Hydrates & Soothes the Scalp

Beta-glucans are known for their intensive moisture retention and calming properties, ideal for sensitive or compromised scalps.

✔ Improves Hair Fiber Quality

By creating a more supportive scalp environment, Schizophyllan helps new hair emerge stronger, thicker, and more stable.

✔ Drives Clinically Proven Results

As observed in the Intertek clinical evaluation:

• +15.44% increase in overall hair density at 90 days

• +17.96% increase in total hair count

• Up to 10,548 additional strands on average
  

These improvements underscore the synergy between Saw Palmetto and Alfheim’s patented Schizophyllan.

A Powerful Synergy: Why the Combination Works

Individually, Saw Palmetto and Schizophyllan are potent.
Together, they create a hair-growth optimized ecosystem.

Saw Palmetto

Targets the root cause of follicle shrinkage → reducing hair fall & supporting fuller growth.

Schizophyllan

Optimizes absorption + strengthens the scalp → amplifying the effects of Saw Palmetto and other actives.

This multi-pathway approach is exactly why Alfheim’s Saw Palmetto Follicle Boost Scalp Serum produced such strong, measurable clinical outcomes across shedding, density, volume, and new-growth indicators.
