Hair Follicles Protection & Repair

Healthy hair follicles are the foundation of strong, resilient hair fibers, yet they are highly vulnerable to daily stressors such as environmental aggressors and chemical treatments. Over time, these factors weaken follicles (oxidative stress and premature senescence), leading to increased hair breakage, thinning, and even hair loss.

Today’s consumers seek science-backed solutions that go beyond surface-level care to actively protect and repair hair follicles. They understand that healthy follicles are essential for achieving stronger, thicker hair, reduced shedding, and enhanced scalp health.

At OxiProteomics, we provide advanced efficacy testing to scientifically validate follicle protection and repair claims. Using ex vivo human hair follicle and scalp models, we perform biomarker analyses to measure how active ingredients or formulations shield follicles from oxidative and environmental damage for long-term protection.

EXPLORE OUR INNOVATIVE TESTING

This image powerfully visualizes oxidative stress in hair follicles caused by UV-A exposure and the protective effect of a product.

  • Before: Hair follicles with significant oxidative damage shown by the red fluorescence signal, indicating substantial oxidative damage to the proteome caused by UV-A.
  • After: Reduced red fluorescence demonstrates the product’s ability to mitigate UV-A induced oxidative damage and protect the hair follicle.

WHO WE ARE

OxiProteomics is a CRO specialized in biomarker assessment providing research services for skin- & hair-care dermo-cosmetics, food supplements, medical devices, and dermatology efficacy evaluation.

Spined-out from Sorbonne University in 2014, our uniqueness is a specific know-how on non-targeted & targeted proteomics approaches adapted to skin and hair evaluation.

We support our clients on molecular target identification, target validation, efficacy testing, mechanistic studies, prediction of responders, and biomarkers discovery. We also propose predictive pre-clinical skin models coupled with spatial proteomics analyses, based on the organ culture of human skin samples. We also able work with clinical samples to perform bio-analysis. We also provide mechanistic investigator-initiator trials with the analysis of biopsies and non-invasive samples.
