Description
Rosehip seed oil, a by-product of food processing, already soothes skin disorders. Van-Long Truong and Woo-Sik Jeong ask whether it can also regrow hair. They treated the shaved backs of laboratory mice with the oil for twenty-one days. The mice were at the resting stage of the hair cycle. Treated skin pushed follicles into the growth phase early.
Under the microscope, treated mice showed denser follicles, bigger hair bulbs, and thicker skin. Genes tied to hair growth switched on more strongly, including signals from the beta-catenin and hedgehog pathways. Growth factors rose as well. The findings point to a waste-stream oil with a second life in cosmetics. The authors suggest it may help prevent or treat hair loss, pending human studies.
