SCH ShellCare® ANTIGREY

SCH ShellCare ANTIGREY is an advanced encapsulated active designed for hair care. Using polycaprolactone as a biodegradable polymer shell, it delivers L-methionine directly to hair follicles with controlled release and stability. The ingredient helps maintain natural pigmentation, delay the appearance of grey hair, and protect melanocytes from oxidative stress. By supporting keratin biosynthesis, SCH ShellCare ANTIGREY strengthens hair fibers, improves density, and reduces breakage. It also supports scalp health by lowering inflammation and protecting follicles against cellular damage. In vitro studies suggest L-methionine prevents tyrosinase oxidation, further preserving color. With its dual action of reducing oxidative stress and stimulating structural proteins, this sustainable encapsulated system offers formulators opportunities for anti-grey, scalp defense, and strengthening claims in shampoos, conditioners, and serums, aligning with consumer demand for effective and eco-conscious hair solutions.
