Description

Maca Fortis Extract

Maca Fortis – natural extract for denser, stronger hair

Maca Fortis Extract is obtained from the root of the Lepidium meyenii plant. Native to the high plateaus of the Peruvian Andes, maca is one of the few plants that survive in extreme climatic conditions, altitudes over 4,000 meters, low temperatures, and poor soil, and Andean communities have used it for centuries in their diet as well as in traditional hair and skin care.

Maca root is rich in macaenes and macamides, active compounds specific to this plant that serve as quality markers for the extract. According to studies conducted by the producer of this active ingredient, the extract contributes to the appearance of hair density and strength, helping to protect the hair shaft against daily stress factors and supporting the look of healthy, vitality-filled hair.


Ingredients (INCI): Glycerin, Lepidium Meyenii Root Extract.


Technical Characteristics

  • Appearance: Yellowish liquid, medium viscosity.
  • Active Markers: Macaenes and macamides.
  • Origin: 100% natural origin, obtained by extraction from the plant root.
  • Solubility: Water-soluble,  incorporates into formulations with an aqueous phase.
  • Recommended Usage Dosage: 1% - 5%.

Scientific Studies and Documentation

The data below originate from an in vitro study conducted by the producer of this cosmetic ingredient on an isolated hair follicle model maintained in laboratory culture for 8 days—this is not a clinical trial on a real human scalp. We present these data as evidence of the research behind the ingredient, not as a promise of guaranteed results following cosmetic application.

  • Increase in Follicle Size in Culture Model (In Vitro): Compared to the untreated control, follicles exposed to the extract recorded a +93% greater increase in size over the 8 days of culture.
  • Cell Multiplication in the Follicular Bulb (In Vitro): Tests showed a +169% increase in the number of mitoses/mm² in the follicular bulb compared to the control at day 8 of culture.
  • Cell Multiplication in the Epithelial Sheath (In Vitro): A +36% increase in the number of mitoses/mm² was observed in the epithelial sheath surrounding the growing hair shaft.
  • Increased Collagen Density in Dermal Tissue Around the Follicle (In Vitro): Histological analysis showed visibly higher collagen density in the underlying dermal tissue in treated follicles compared to those in the control group.
  • Appearance of the Follicular Bulb Under Stress Conditions (In Vitro): Histological images from the producer's study show better preservation of the structural appearance of the treated follicular bulb compared to the untreated one under laboratory test conditions.

Properties and Benefits

  • Look of Density and Strength: According to producer studies, it contributes to a denser and stronger appearance of the hair shaft.
  • Protection Against Stress Factors: Helps maintain the healthy appearance of hair exposed to pollution, smoking, or other external aggressions.
  • Scalp Support: Contributes to a balanced-looking scalp, creating a favorable environment for stronger-looking hair.
  • Versatility: Suitable for both hair care formulations and body care products targeting the appearance of stretch marks, owing to its tonic effect on the skin.

Applications

  • Scalp serums and lotions dedicated to the appearance of hair density.
  • Shampoos and treatments for thinning or weak-looking hair.
  • Conditioners and leave-in treatments for daily maintenance.
  • Body creams and lotions for skin prone to stretch marks.

Formulation Guide

  • Working Procedure: Add to the aqueous phase of the formula, preferably during the final stage of preparation at a moderate temperature.
  • Compatibility: Water-soluble, compatible with most ingredients commonly used in hair and skin care formulations. Stable across a broad pH range.

I knew about maca, now I also take it internally in the morning (powder), I'm glad I can use it for hair loss too. I needed this extract to prepare the hair tonic recipe which I use quite rarely. Even so it worked and my hair doesn't fall out so much anymore, it also regenerates well. Dissolving the caffeine didn't seem that complicated to me and that's when I decided to make my own tonic, I didn't turn to someone else for that. If you have a bit of time it really is worth the effort and the satisfaction at the end. Generally though, I turn to a friend who saves me when I need some super product with ingredients from this site.

Ever since I discovered maca extract, it has become an indispensable cosmetic active ingredient in shampoos against hair loss and in hair masks or conditioners. That's why I started to order it in larger quantities because the results are absolutely spectacular. I would like to ask for what period of time can this extract be used and if breaks in its use are necessary?
