How to read INCI on trichology cosmetics

INCI (International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients) is the EU-mandated naming system for cosmetic ingredients. Every cosmetic must display it on the packaging — and it's the one thing actually worth reading when choosing a product.

Order = importance

Ingredients are listed in descending order by quantity in the formula. The first 5 typically account for ~80% of the product. If the "main active" sits at position 15+, it's marketed as present but is actually trace.

The 1% threshold

Ingredients above 1% concentration must appear in strict weight order; those below 1% may be listed in any order. That's why "natural extracts" at the end of the list often mean "a few drops for marketing."

What to avoid in trichology

On scalp cosmetics it's worth avoiding harsh detergents (SLS, SLES — they damage the barrier), follicle-clogging silicones (Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone) and parabens. Check the INCI of every cosmetic before you buy.

The full composition of our serum and mask is on each product page — compare with competitors before you decide.

Technology

Liposomes

Microscopic capsules built from phospholipids (Lecithin) — the same molecules that form the membranes of our skin cells. They envelope active ingredients and carry them into deeper scalp layers. Without this technology most cosmetic ingredients stay on the surface and get washed off at the next shampoo. We are currently the only trichology line in Poland with liposomal bovine colostrum.

Colostrum

Growth factors

Natural IGF-1, EGF and TGF-β present in bovine colostrum. The same set of regenerative signals a mother first passes to a newborn. In the scalp they regulate the hair-growth cycle — supporting follicles' transition from the resting phase (telogen) to the growth phase (anagen). Follicles in shedding conditions frequently show a deficit of these factors.

Colostrum

Lactoferrin

An iron-binding protein with soothing properties for the scalp. Supports the scalp microbiome (balances bacterial and fungal populations) and participates in the skin's natural anti-inflammatory processes. Scalps with chronic discomfort often have a disrupted microbiome — lactoferrin helps stabilise it.

Colostrum

Proline polypeptides

PRP (Proline-Rich Polypeptides) — short amino-acid chains present in colostrum that regulate the skin's immune response. In the formula they help calm the over-reactive responses typical of sensitive scalp, AD or seborrhoeic dermatitis. Proline is also a key amino acid in collagen synthesis — the structural building block of the skin.

Hydration

Ceramides

Three skin-barrier ceramides — NP, AP and EOP — supplemented with phytosphingosine and cholesterol. Ceramides make up roughly 50% of the natural hydrolipidic barrier of the epidermis. Replenishing them reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL), strengthens the barrier and soothes irritation. In the serum they work daily between washes, when the skin needs it most.

Hydration

Hydrolyzed silk

Hydrolyzed Silk — silk protein broken down into small peptides (fibroin). Fragments slot into micro-damage along the hair shaft, smoothing the cuticle and adding natural shine. Forms a protective layer on the hair without weighing it down. In both products — strengthens hair structure from root to tip.

Botanical

Hemp oil

Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil — oil from hemp seeds. The highest among plant oils in terms of omega-3 and omega-6 ratio (3:1 — close to ideal for the human skin). Deeply nourishes the scalp, reinforces the lipid barrier and soothes irritation. Present only in the mask because it needs time (15+ minutes) for full penetration.

Botanical

Shea butter

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter — butter from the nuts of the shea tree. Rich in stearic and oleic acids plus non-saponifiable vitamins E and A. Forms an occlusive protective layer but, unlike silicones, doesn't clog pores or follicles. Present only in the mask — applied leave-in it would be too heavy for a daily routine.

Formula comparison

Same base ingredients, two different formulas

Trichovita's serum and mask share the same active backbone — liposomal bovine colostrum, growth factors, lactoferrin and proline-rich polypeptides. The differences lie in how long they work on the skin and which additional ingredients round out the formula.

Active ingredient	Serum	Mask
Liposomal bovine colostrum
Growth factors (IGF-1, EGF, TGF-β)
Lactoferrin
Proline-rich polypeptides (PRP)
Hydrolyzed silk
Ceramides NP, AP, EOP
Phytosphingosine + Cholesterol
Hemp seed oil (Cannabis Sativa)
Jojoba oil (Simmondsia Chinensis)
Sweet almond oil
Shea butter (Butyrospermum Parkii)

Serum: daily barrier

Twice a day, morning and evening, massaged into the scalp and left in. Ceramides NP, AP and EOP with phytosphingosine and cholesterol rebuild the epidermis between washes, when the skin needs it most. The light texture means daily use never weighs the hair down.

Mask: deeper intervention

Two or three times a week, ideally left on overnight. The four oils, hemp, jojoba and sweet almond, plus shea butter, need time to penetrate, so the mask left on overnight gives the most. A shorter 15 to 30 minutes also works, but that is the minimum, not the optimum.

Together they form a complete system: the serum every morning and evening, the mask overnight every few days. That is why we also offer them as a discounted bundle.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about ingredients

Is the formula natural?

All active ingredients in Trichovita come from natural sources — bovine colostrum, plant oils (hemp, jojoba, sweet almond), shea butter, silk. The liposomes are built from phospholipids (Lecithin) identical to the membranes of our own cells. The formula contains no SLS, SLES, silicones, parabens or artificial dyes.

Can I use it during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Yes. The formula does not contain ingredients flagged in cosmetic literature as problematic for pregnant or breastfeeding women — no retinoids, no high-concentration salicylic acid, no phthalates or known endocrine disruptors. Bovine colostrum is a protein naturally present in food; in liposomal form, applied topically to the scalp, it does not enter the bloodstream in any meaningful amount. Marta Szejnoga regularly recommends this formula to postpartum patients — telogen effluvium (postpartum hormonal hair shedding) affects 40-50% of women after childbirth, so safe care matters especially then. Individual concerns are worth discussing with a doctor or pharmacist.

Are there any allergens?

The full ingredient list (INCI) is on the packaging and on each product page. The most common potential allergens are fragrance components (Parfum — in the mask only) and sweet almond oil. If you have a known milk-protein allergy, consult a trichologist before use — colostrum is a milk protein, though in liposomal form it rarely triggers skin reactions.

How does Trichovita differ from other trichology cosmetics?

Three traits: (1) liposomal delivery technology — most trichology cosmetics in Poland are water-based formulas where active ingredients stay on the surface; we are currently the only trichology line in Poland with liposomal colostrum; (2) bovine colostrum as the main active — a natural concentrate of 80+ bioactive proteins (growth factors, lactoferrin, immunoglobulins), it acts multi-directionally unlike single synthetic peptides; (3) compromise-free INCI — formulas contain no SLS, parabens, silicones or artificial dyes.

How do you know the ingredients really work?

Every active ingredient has published research — on the individual ingredient pages (e.g. growth factors, lactoferrin, liposomes) you'll find links to the key PubMed publications. Trichovita relies on mechanisms documented in the literature: growth factors from colostrum activate the follicle's regenerative pathways, lactoferrin supports the microbiome and barrier, ceramides rebuild the lipid layer. The formula itself is the proprietary work of Marta Szejnoga — a trichologist with 20,000+ clinical treatments.

All ingredients in one place

Our serum and mask combine all 8 ingredients in a single formula — encapsulated in liposomes, ready to work.
