Start with the scalp
Sebum, the outer skin barrier, the microbiome and the environment around follicles all influence the scalp. Guided by scalp longevity, TIPTOP CARE explores these research areas to develop care for everyday use.
Four fields of research
Local signals, the follicular environment, the microbiome and nucleic-acid-related ingredients are our four current research themes. Scalp longevity codes identify these themes for easier reading; they are not claims of efficacy or certification.
Keeping a useful record
Record the same area with consistent lighting, angle and hairstyle to make comparisons more useful. Differences in photographs may not come from a product; efficacy requires evidence and testing of the specific finished product.
This article introduces a care philosophy and research background. It is not a diagnosis or a promise of hair growth.
