Biotech scalp serums are advancing targeted haircare as KilgourMD introduces reformulated treatments featuring two proprietary, patent-pending ingredients. The dermatologist-founded brand has developed GlycoRoot and AndroLock to improve how active ingredients reach hair follicles, addressing scalp aging and hair thinning through specialized delivery systems.
GlycoRoot uses glycogen nanoparticles to transport basil root extract into follicles, with laboratory testing showing a 172% relative increase in hair follicle growth. AndroLock combines saw palmetto with a specialized peptide that improved ingredient delivery by 47% in human skin studies. The updated serums also feature precision droppers designed for consistent application.
For KilgourMD, these developments strengthen its position in premium, science-focused haircare. With annualized revenue exceeding $100 million and more than 250,000 customers served, the company can leverage proprietary formulations to differentiate its products and support future category expansion.
