2-Deoxy-D-Ribose （2-DDR） has become an emerging favourite material of scalp revitalizing treatment

In the past years, the global hair care market was undergoing a change known as “Skinification”. Consumers were no longer satisfied with the smooth of hair, they now begin to pay more attention on the health of their scalp as to facial skin. With its outstanding performance in promoting of angiogenesis and repairing of hair follicle, 2-Deoxy-D-Ribose is rapidly moving from the laboratory to the cutting edge of luxury scalp care products in the current trends.

A Core Concept: it’s not just the hair growth, it’s “repairing a channel”

The number of traditional hair growth ingredients focus on hormonal regulation or  simple surface stimulation, whereas the logic of 2-Deoxy-D-Ribose is clearer and easier to understand.

The latest biomedical research indicates that 2-Deoxy-D-Ribose can stimulate the emergence and growth of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF). If the hair follicles were compared to a plant, microvessels distributed the range of hair follicles would be an irrigation system. The function of 2-Deoxy-D-Ribose is essentially to “repair a channel” , in other words, it can improve the efficiency that oxygen and nutrients delivered to the hair follicles through promoting the generation of microvessels under the scalp.

The revitalized system from inside to outside performs the enormous potential when dealing with the aspects of Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA)、Pressure Alopecia (PA) and Scalp Injury.

Why the professional suppliers begin to purchase 2-Deoxy-D-Ribose materials instead of previous its?

In the formulas of scalp care, the ingredients’ safety is as essential as biological activity. Compared with the higher side effect of chemical ingredients, 2-Deoxy-D-Ribose as the component of DeoxyriboNucleic Acid (DNA), which births naturally in the human body has excellent biocompatibility.

With 14 years of professional experience in the chemical industry, we deeply know that the quality of materials plays an essential role in the quality of products. In studying the 2-Deoxy-D-Ribose supply chains, it indicates that a large number of existing materials are merely reached to the general scientific research level, but those luxury materials that used in scalp essence and shampooing and caring hair must meet with the strict standards in the three dimensions:

High purity of optical activity: Ensuring the levorotatory or dextrorotatory specificity of the molecular structure can directly decide bioactivity.

Contol of Botulinum Toxin：The skin of scalp is so thin that it becomes extremely sensitive to microbial metabolites.

Stability of packing: Since 2-Deoxy-D-Ribose has the strong hygroscopicity, how to maintain the stability in the prescription becomes the key steps testing brands’ and suppliers’ technologies. 

Recommendations for Formulators:

In practice, 2-Deoxy-D-Ribose is rarely used alone in formulations. Based on the client feedback and market researches, it indicates that if we will compound 2-Deoxy-D-Ribose with NAD+ supplements (e.g. NMN) or peptides to apply in manufactures, it forms a whole close loop from energy supply to structural repair. Most importantly, this synergy effect is not only promoting the hair growth, but providing the high and scientific support for brands in products.

The emergence of 2-Deoxy-D-Ribose symbols that scalp care comes into a new era of “cell repair”.
