Arcolys

ARCOLYS® is an advanced biotechnology-derived hair care active developed by Greentech, specifically designed to target the biological mechanisms responsible for hair greying (canities).

Derived from Picroside II, extracted from Picrorhiza scrophulariiflora roots, ARCOLYS® helps restore natural hair color by stimulating melanogenesis, reducing oxidative stress within hair follicles, and supporting active melanocyte function.

Clinically tested, ARCOLYS® promotes visible hair repigmentation, reduces white hair density, and helps maintain youthful-looking hair while supporting emotional well-being and self-confidence.

Mechanism of Action:

ARCOLYS® targets the primary causes of hair greying:

• Reduces follicular oxidative stress

• Activates antioxidant defense pathways

• Stimulates tyrosinase activity

• Enhances melanin synthesis

• Supports melanocyte survival and functionality

• Promotes gradual hair repigmentation over continued use

Clinical studies reported visible reduction in white hair density and improvement in natural hair coloration after approximately 2.5–3 months of consistent application.
