Our Ingredients
Throughout my training, my mentor taught me to “always treat those that need help like family, without discrimination. To treat them as if they were my father, my mother, my sister, my brother, my cousin as this is what they are to someone in this world and that helping someone in need is the greatest gift.” After years of trialling hair loss treatments with little or no success, HSB Labs developed a hair loss treatment that has shown great success in helping others on their hair growth journey. With this in mind, HSB Labs believes in being honest and transparent about our products and the ingredients that we truly believe will help anyone on their hair growth journey.
At HSB Labs we want to be a part of your hair journey. We want to bring out the best possible positive attributes in an individual and to do this we believe that being open, honest and transparent in our products only helps. We hope that our honesty and transparency will help make us one of the most trusted and respected hair care brands.

Caffeine
Not only is coffee delicious, it is also nourishing for your hair. Many of us rely on our daily coffee to perform our daily functions and to be productive but did you know that it was good for your hair? Caffeine promotes hair health in various ways, from limiting damage to delivering key nutrients and vitamins for longer, stronger hair.
Researchers say that caffeine targets a hormone called ‘DHT’, that is known to cause hair loss. Increased production of DHT can prevent vitamins, protein’s, amino acids, and minerals from helping hair follicles grow. Caffeine works to counter this through increasing the production of ‘ATP’, a form of energy that encourages hair growth.
Due to caffeine being a stimulant, it also works to increase blood circulation to the scalp which promotes healthy hair follicles that grow faster and stronger. Working to restore hair growth is important in cases of male baldness or hair loss that may occur due to too much DHT. As caffeine works hard to counter DHT, research shows it also works to elongate the hair shaft for longer, wider hair roots. It may also prolong anagen duration throughout the hair growth stage.
Dull, brittle, damaged hair? Applying caffeine to your hair has been shown to improve dullness by delivering flavonoids, antioxidants that promote hair regeneration. When these antioxidants are delivered throughout your follicles, it can also lead to less fizziness, and more manageable hair. Caffeine helps your hair retain moisture and develop a natural shine due to the increased blood circulation moving essential nutrients through the hair.
D-Panthenol
D-Panthenol (Vitamin B-5) is widely known for stimulating and boosting overall skin, scalp and hair health with its repairing and moistening properties. D-Panthenol is essential for creating healthy skin, and hair. It can also help improve scalp and hair hydration, elasticity, suppleness, and smooth appearance. It also soothes redness and inflammation of the scalp which aids in the reparative process of damaged hair supporting the stimulation of hair growth. It can also help protect your hair from styling or environmental damage by locking in moisture. Studies have found that panthenol may help slow down and hide the look of thinning hair.
Biotin
Biotin, also known as vitamin B7, stimulates keratin production in hair and can increase the rate of follicle growth. Biotin is a great way to strengthen back your roots and follicles, stimulating hair growth leading to better quality hair and growth.
Green Tea Extract
Green tea is one of the healthiest and most popular antioxidant rich beverages around. Most of the antioxidants in green tea are derived from compounds referred to as flavonols. Our Green tea extract is used to support healthy hair growth.
Hair loss is a common problem and can happen due to various reasons such as autoimmune diseases, stress, diet, and hormonal changes. The natural growth cycle of our hair consists of three phases: androgen (hair growth phase), catagen (transitional phase), and telogen (hair loss phase), which get disturbed when you go through excessive hair loss or fall.
The hormones testosterone and dihydrotestosterone can increase your hair loss by decreasing the duration of your hair growth phase. According to recent studies conducted in this area, antioxidants in green tea can hinder the effects of these two hormones on your hair and thus slow the process of hair loss.
Stay C
Stay C is our stabilised form of Vitamin C that is superior to other forms of vitamin C. Stay C is effective in removing mineral and sebum build up on the scalp and hair which improves circulation and follicle development. Vitamin C is responsible for creating and maintaining collagen “the glue that holds the body together” which is highly important for hair growth and maintaining the hair strength and elasticity. Vitamin C’s antioxidant properties reduce the formation of free radicals and minimises their effect on our hair and scalp leading to healthy happier hair.
Acetyl Tetrapeptide 3
Acetyl Tetrapeptide 3 in an innovative peptide (short chains of amino acids that act as building blocks of proteins such as collagen, elastin and keratin. These proteins are the foundations of your hair and scalp and are responsible for its texture, strength and resilience.). Acetyl Tetrapeptide 3 can quickly repair and boost the hair follicle cells and stimulate the natural growth of hair.
Acetyl Tetrapeptide 3 has a direct effect on hair follicle increasing the size of hair follicle for better hair anchoring and vitality. Acetyl Tetrapeptide 3 targets the main causes of hair loss, providing fuller and thicker hair.

Vitamin E’s role in hair health relate to its antioxidant properties, reducing cell damage and improving hair growth. Vitamin E’s antioxidant properties could help reduce the amount of oxidative stress and free radicals that are sometimes present on the scalp causing the hair follicle cells to break down.
