Sarcosine

SARCOSINE

Sarcosine is an amino acid derivative closely related to the amino acid glycine, and it works prebiotically. Prebiotic means it does not add bacteria but feeds the ones already there, so the beneficial ones gain the upper hand over the harmful.

On a scalp out of balance there are typically too few bacterial species, and the most problematic take up too much room. Sarcosine increases the diversity of the microbiome by up to 36 % after just one month, according to clinical studies. At the same time it slows the enzymes that govern sebum production, so the scalp becomes less oily without drying out.

The effect is felt as less itching, fewer flakes and a scalp that feels clean for longer between washes. It is a different approach from fighting symptoms, because it works with the scalp's own ecosystem rather than against it.
