Hair Growth Inhibition

Ginger root CO2 extract contains 6-Gingerol and other components – including a portion of the essential oil. Contrary to popular belief that ginger stimulates hair growth, it actually supresses it; Gingerol (The active compound in Ginger)  is confirmed to inhibit hair growth through research. In-vitro research shows significant suppression of hair growth with 6-gingerol at a concentration of 1.0 – 2.0% (See research tab).
