Garden of Wisdom's Follicle Stimulator Serum is a targeted, science-backed formula designed to revitalize the scalp and promote stronger, thicker hair growth at the root. This potent blend works at the follicular level to stimulate circulation, reduce inflammation, and create an optimal environment for new hair to thrive. Key actives like Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3 and Red Clover Extract work synergistically to block the adverse effects of DHT - a key hormone responsible for hair thinning, while anchoring proteins that support follicle integrity. Niacinamide boosts microcirculation and soothes the scalp, encouraging the delivery of nutrients to the hair bulb. With their small molecular size, Keratin Amino Acids deeply penetrate the hair shaft to repair damage and restore strength and shine, unlike bulkier forms of keratin that only coat the surface. Panthenol-D, Biotin, GHK-Cu Copper Tripeptide-1, and Hydrolyzed Quinoa further nourish and moisturize both scalp and strands, improving elasticity and resilience. Marshmallow Root Extract adds hydration, while energizing Caffeine helps awaken dormant follicles. Including an essential oil blend, peppermint, rosemary, eucalyptus, and tea tree, it provides a refreshing boost that stimulates the scalp and enhances nutrient delivery. Preserved naturally with Leucidal SF and AMTicide Coconut, this formula supports healthy hair growth without harsh preservatives. Altogether, this well-rounded serum addresses the root causes of hair thinning and breakage while supporting the scalp microbiome, making it a comprehensive solution for stronger, fuller hair.

Method of Application 
Apply to clean scalp, generously.  Applying a mild apple cider vinegar rinse after shampooing and before this product may give much needed relief for an itchy, irritated scalp. Massage in and wait 20-30 minutes before applying any hair care products. If you find this product interferes with hair products, you might choose to do this only at night.

Shelf Life and Storage Information for Our Products and Ingredients

Finished Products - generally don't need to be refrigerated as they are preserved, but you can refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. The shelf life for most products is 9-12 months. Vitamin C Serum(s) and VitaResurface products should continually be refrigerated to extend their shelf life.
Sample Sizes - do have a shorter shelf life (generally 3-6 months), and items in jars can dry up quicker than this if the lid is not tightened well enough (Vitamin C Serums - use within 90 days).

Please Keep Your Products Out of Humidity, Heat, Direct Light and in a Dark Cabinet When Possible 

Exfoliating Acid - products have a shelf life of 9-12 months. The only things we don't suggest refrigerating are the Mandelic Acid Serums or Salicylic Acid Serums, as they can crystallize in the refrigerator. If this happens, you can set the product into a hot water bath to see if the crystals will dissolve.

Additional Items That Require Refrigeration and/or Kept in the Dark

Hydrosols and Distillates - remove 1 ounce of hydrosol and add it to a separate, sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator.
Carrier and Exotic Oils - generally refrigerate all carrier oils, although some very rich oils will solidify. This is fine. All you have to do is take the oil out, warm it up at room temperature, and it should liquefy. If not, set the bottle in a hot water bath and occasionally shake the bottle, which will hopefully turn into a liquid. Some oils, like coconut cream and jojoba oil, have a super long shelf life.    

Refrigeration of The Following Ingredients is Not Necessary, But it Won't hurt

Essential Oils - essential oils are best stored in a cool, dark place.   
Co2 Extracts - these should continually be refrigerated.
Butters - we suggest refrigerating our "skincare" butters. You can remove
what you need and keep the rest in the fridge.
Clays - keep in a dry, dark place. Shelf life is at least 2 years.
Herbs All herbs <i>(whole or ground)</i> should be kept in a dark, cool, and dry location.
Herbal (liquid) Extracts are created using grain alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents (properties) from each herb, root, trunk, leaf, and flower. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years.
They can be stored in the refrigerator or a dark, dry place.
Other Raw Ingredients - such as Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc., will all have different shelf lives.

Quinoa (hydrolyzed) repairs damage and forms a protective barrier on the skin to prevent the environmental stresses from damaging the skin. Binds moisture and provides nutrients for the skin.
Red Clover Blossom Extract detoxifying, soothing, antibacterial
Niacinamide stimulates circulation, anti-inflammatory
Keratin Amino Acids are the Amino Acids that are extracted from the Keratin itself (amino acids are what make up a protein). They are then purified to make them stronger. However, the molecule size of the keratin amino acids allows it to penetrate the hair shaft to help repair damage (whereas hydrolyzed keratin does not penetrate the hair shaft). Keratin Amino Acids is a powerful moisturizer that can penetrate the hair enhancing its conditioning effects. Since it has a composition similar to hair and is small enough to penetrate the hair shaft where it becomes highly substantive. It is ideal for hair that has suffered cuticle damage due to the hair’s increased porosity. It can help give the hair more sheen and increased volume. 
Panthenol-D potent moisturizer, skin softener, anti-inflammatory, healing
Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3 biomimetic signal peptide, has effects on cells and anchoring proteins in the connective tissue, Our scalp naturally produces oil which can cause a build-up of sebum. One scalp stimulator is commonly referred to as acetyl tetrapeptide-3. Through in-vitro testing, this particular peptide has been shown that it can anchor proteins in the connective tissue. Combining this peptide with red clover extract helps to slow down hair loss as well as blocking the negative effects of DHT. What is DHT? The main hormone our body produces is testosterone. For this hormone to be carried to tissue such as the skin, the testosterone must bond with enzyme 5-alpha reductase which then converts the testosterone to DHT. Once converted this and the sebum blocks the pores which inhibits hair growth. DHT literally signals hair follicles to stop producing hair. Also, our bodies naturally produce this form of testosterone, internally at the cellular level!
