capixyl

Low risk

FunctionPeptide complex

What it is — Capixyl is a proprietary hair-focused active complex, commonly described as combining acetyl tetrapeptide-3 with red clover extract.

What it does — It appears in scalp- and hair-focused products as a supportive complex. Descriptions here are cosmetic; it is presented as routine scalp care rather than a medical treatment, and public safety data on the complex is limited.

Typical use — It appears in scalp serums, tonics and thinning-focused hair ranges.

Who it suits / good to know — Suits scalp-focused routines; results vary by individual and build with consistent use. For diagnosed hair loss, a clinician can advise on evidence-based options.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk — a proprietary complex with limited public safety data, treated conservatively. This is general information, not medical advice; patch-test before wider use.

Why we grade it Low: Low risk - proprietary cosmetic peptide/botanical hair complex (biotinyl-GHK + red clover), generally well tolerated at cosmetic use levels; best-evidence cosmetic grade (revised from mid).

How grades are set — Risk reflects our own reading of publicly available safety data, an EWG-style reading shown at the worst-case grade we've assigned this ingredient across products.
