Redensyl + Anagain Hair Growth Serum: Benefits, Ingredients & Full Formulation Guide
Redensyl and Anagain are two of the most popular cosmetic actives used to support thicker-looking, stronger, and healthier hair. When combined, they help improve the appearance of hair density and scalp vitality without making the hair oily. This guide provides a complete breakdown of how these ingredients work, their benefits, a detailed 100 g formulation, equipment needed, and a step-by-step procedure created by our in-house formulators at Aseschem.

What Are Redensyl and Anagain?
1. Redensyl
Redensyl is a cosmetic active known for supporting the appearance of improved hair thickness and reduced hair fall. It is stable, easy to formulate with, and widely used in non-oily hair serums.
2. Anagain
Anagain is an ECOCERT-approved active derived from pea sprouts. It helps reactivate hair vitality markers in the dermal papilla. In several studies, it has shown a measurable increase in hair density appearance. Our in-house formulator observed visible improvements within 3 weeks of use.
Together, Redensyl + Anagain make a strong, well-known combination for non-oily, water-based hair serums.
