Ophiopogon Japonicus (also known as "Dragon's beard"  or "Snake's beard") is a plant that has long been used in traditional Korean and Chinese medicine. Focused on its anti-inflammatory effect, scientists conducted experiments regarding its efficacy and usability in pharmacological preparations and personal care products.

Studies showed that Ophiopogon Japonicus root contains a glycoprotein in the main active form that reduces oxidative stress in dermal papilla cells. It exhibits noticeable effectiveness against hair loss, protecting dermal papilla cells from oxidative damage.

Ophiopogon Japonicus Root Extract is a safe, well-studied, and effective ingredient for anti-hair-loss preparations. Combined with some other extracts of traditional medicinal herbs, it exhibits better performance and is used in botanical complexes developed for hair growth and prevention of hair loss.

In skin care applications, Ophiopogon Japonicus Root Extract also protects dermal cells from free radicals and oxidative stress, exposing protective, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging properties. In addition, it energizes, soothes, and tonifies the skin, revealing a youthful, fresh, and healthy appearance.
