- Free from Parabens
- A preservative that keeps bacteria and mould from growing in a product.
- A water-based product needs a preservative, because without one bacteria and mould can grow in it. We chose others, such as 1,2-hexanediol and caprylhydroxamic acid, because many mothers prefer products without parabens during pregnancy, and we can offer that without giving up a working preservative.
- Free from Phthalates
- A plasticiser, sometimes carried into a formula through a fragrance blend.
- Phthalates are rarely listed by name, because they can sit inside a fragrance blend that appears on the label as one word, “fragrance”. We chose not to use them at all, so our ingredient list means what it says.
- Free from Drying alcohol
- Alcohol denat. and similar alcohols, which make a product dry quickly and feel light.
- It can draw moisture out of skin that already dries out more easily in pregnancy. Many women also find their sense of smell sharper in the first trimester, and the smell of alcohol is often named as a trigger for nausea. We mean only this kind of alcohol. Names like cetyl or stearyl alcohol, which you may see in an ingredient list, are fatty alcohols that soften skin rather than dry it. Benzyl alcohol is used as a preservative. Neither is a drying alcohol.

Texture: a watery serum. Effectiveness: should be good, I think. I ordered it to try because my child's hair is quite thin and grows slowly.
Hair serum, I have repurchased and this is my second bottle. In the photo my little one is 1 year 8 months and her hair is long already. The first bottle lasted so very long. It has a light scent, the serum is clear and easy to use, and her hair does not turn sticky. When it runs out I will just keep buying more.
Texture: runny, clear, not sticky. This round the shop took quite long to deliver, but the packing was good. This vitamin works well, the hair does not go oily after putting it on and the scalp feels comfortable. Very suitable for children.
The product really does make a difference. My child's hair is smooth and has started to grow on the part that was still bald. Fast delivery. The expiry date is still far away. Just one suggestion, if the bottle were a spray it would be more practical. Thank you.
The bottle is a pump, nice! The scent is soft. The box was wrapped in bubble wrap, then put into a cardboard box, then into black plastic. So it arrived very safe, no dents at all. Hope it suits my baby later.
The scent is fresh, really nice. Because it is watery it spills over when you pump it, so my suggestion is to change the bottle to a spray one so it is easier.
Quality: good. Value for money: good. Performance: good. Used for a few weeks and can see that my son's hair is growing. Recommend all to try
Value for money: good. Performance: good. Quality: excellent. Has a nice scent and not oily. Easy to apply to baby scalp and we do see more hair growth after applying.
