What is Heliasome™?
Heliasome™ is a high-density plant stem cell lysate created through controlled callus culture and aseptic biomanufacturing. It contains potent bioactives naturally produced by sunflower stem cells, including adenosine, linoleic acid, antioxidants, vitamins, and follicle-supportive metabolites.
This metabolite-rich profile helps support optimal scalp conditions, promotes healthy hair growth cycles, and improves the appearance of hair strength, density, and overall vitality.
Key Benefits
Follicle Vitality Support
Supports healthy hair growth by helping activate follicle activity and maintain the growth phase for fuller-looking strands.
Scalp Barrier Repair & Lipid Balance
Essential fatty acids help restore the scalp barrier, improve lipid balance, and support optimal follicle health.
Micro-Inflammation Reduction
Helps calm scalp irritation and reduce inflammatory stress that can disrupt healthy hair growth.
Antioxidant Protection
Antioxidant metabolites help defend follicles and scalp tissue from oxidative stress and environmental aggressors.
Strand Strength & Resilience
Supports keratin structure and follicle integrity to reduce breakage and improve overall hair strength.
Scalp Ecosystem Balance
Helps maintain a balanced scalp environment for healthier-looking hair and long-term follicle vitality.
