It was designed specifically for moms looking to treat their hair from the inside out, with ingredients that can reduce stress, improve energy, and grow stronger, healthier hair.

Best Shampoo and Conditioner Ingredients to Help Stop Hair Loss (And What to Avoid!)
With so many different brands out there, the first step to choosing the right product is to be informed.
That way, you can choose yours based on the ingredients and what they can do for your hair, and you can know whether your current product is a good shampoo for postpartum hair loss.
Ingredients to Look For:
- Phyto-Caffeine: Protects and strengthens hair to promote growth while also treating the scalp to help fight hormone changes
- Niacin (Vitamin B-3): Provides oxygen to help increase blood circulation and provide nourishment
- Biotin (Vitamin H): Speeds up growth while helping to slow down hair loss
Ingredients to Avoid:
- Sodium Lauryl Sulfate: A commonly used ingredient that can irritate the scalp and make hair feel dry and dull
- Propylene Glycol: Known to cause irritation, rashes, and dry skin when used on the body
- Diethanolamine (DEA): A chemical that easily reacts with other ingredients and can create carcinogens
