What This Ingredient Does

Baicapil® is a plant-derived hair-support complex designed to address hair fall linked to reduced follicle vitality and imbalance in the hair growth cycle.

Hair growth depends on the balance between the anagen (growth), catagen (transition), and telogen (resting) phases. When follicles lose vitality or shift prematurely into the resting phase, hair thinning and increased shedding may occur.

Baicapil® supports the hair growth cycle by:

• Helping maintain follicle activity
• Supporting cellular metabolism around the hair bulb
• Reducing stress-related signals that may trigger premature hair shedding

It does not stimulate new follicle creation or act as a pharmaceutical treatment. Instead, it helps optimize the biological environment needed for healthy hair growth when used consistently.

Functional Botanical Components & Their Role

Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract

• Rich in flavonoids with antioxidant activity
• Helps protect follicular cells from oxidative stress
• Supports cellular vitality within the hair bulb

Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Sprout Extract

• Source of nutrients associated with cell renewal
• Supports follicle energy metabolism
• Helps maintain hair fiber production processes

Glycine Soja (Soybean) Germ Extract

• Contains bioactive compounds that support growth signaling
• Helps balance hair cycle regulation
• Supports improved hair density over time

Benefits

• Helps reduce hair fall linked to follicle fatigue

Who It’s Suitable For

It is often combined with ingredients such as caffeine, peptides, Procapil®, Redensyl®, Capixyl®, niacinamide, and amino acids to support multi-pathway hair health strategies.

Things to Know

Baicapil® is a cosmetic botanical complex, not a drug. Results are gradual and depend on consistent daily use and overall scalp health.

It works best in leave-on scalp formulations, which allow prolonged interaction with the hair follicle environment.

Baicapil® does not interfere with hormones and is suitable for long-term cosmetic use.

How It’s Commonly Used

Baicapil® is commonly found in:

• Leave-on scalp serums
• Hair growth–support formulations

Note by Dr. Su (M.D. Dermatologist)

Hair growth depends on follicle vitality and balance across the hair cycle. Botanical complexes like Baicapil® help support this balance by creating a healthier environment for hair growth. When used consistently as part of a well-formulated scalp routine, it can support improved hair density and reduced shedding over time.
