GlossaryTriterpenoids

chemical compounds with potential hair growth and scalp benefits

Triterpenoids are a class of chemical compounds made up of three terpene units, resulting in a structure with 30 carbon atoms. They are found in various plants and have diverse biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and anticancer properties. In the context of hair and alopecia, some triterpenoids are being studied for their potential to promote hair growth and improve scalp health.
