Would hGH work for hair..topically?

Bioactive hGH stabilized in nano-sized liposomes

"Nanolipo-hGH from Regeron, a Korean company that focuses on reverse-aging biotechnology, is billed as the world s first cosmetic human growth hormone. This raw material is a bioactive hGH stabilized in nano-sized liposomes for ready use in cosmetic formulations. The liposomes facilitate skin permeation of hGh and enhance effects of keratolytic treatments due to hGH. The company also markets nanolipo-hGH Retinol Plus for enhanced anti-wrinkle treatment with minimal irritation" http://www.happi.com/articles/2005/06/s ... dients.php

"In the cosmetics as well as the pharmaceutics fields, delivery through the intact skin of molecules with a molecular weight larger than 2 kd, even with the help of skin penetration enhancers, has been considered a remote possibility. Human growth hormone(hGH) has a molecular weight of ~22kd, more than 10 times the conceivable limit of cosmetic ingredients. There have been some attempts to utilize transfollicular routes as means of localzed delivery of drugs and carriers, but rarely, if any, have these efforts resulted in practical applications or efficacy outcomes. Here we provide various in vitro and in vivo experimental results that our Nanolipo-hGH, a nanoliposome-encapsulated hGH formulation, is delivered through the hair follicular routes and exhibits cosmetic efficacies such as acne prevention, wrinkle reduction, and freckles removal when applied to the intact human skin. Our resuls point to the conclusion that Nanolipo-hGH is a new frontier, safe, stable, and effective cosmetic ingredient."

Bumping up an old thread..as it looks like the company will be making and selling finished products with the ingred(s)..themselves- Pristeen.


On their own website..Pristeen is listed..but not yet clickable.

I've been told it should be available by the end of the month. At least some in the line..
