Plantur 39 Caffeine Shampoo Helps Women to Combat Menopausal Hair Loss!


Many women experience thinner hair and that it falls out prematurely due to a hormonal imbalance during and after menopause besides symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings, sleepless nights, depression and reduced sex drive.

Peter Wong, Head of Academy of A Cut Above Academy, commented: “While male pattern baldness is an accepted part of life for most men, the equivalent issue for women is still brushed under the carpet. Thinning hair shouldn’t be taken lightly - it can seriously affect women’s self-confidence and social life, creating unnecessary anxiety for those affected.”


Menopausal hair loss, also known as androgenic alopecia, is caused by the drastic decrease of ‘hair-friendly’ estrogens in the hair roots. These hormones help to protect the hair roots against testosterones, which are the main culprits for hair loss. With the onset of menopause, mostly when women hit the age 40 and above, the estrogen decreases, causing a hormonal imbalance where testosterones take over the place of estrogens in the hair roots, causing hair to fall out prematurely. This is very common problem that worried by menopausal women.


In years of research and development German cosmeceutical company Dr. Wolff has effectively harnessed the stimulating compounds found in caffeine and put into a carrier base for shampoo. This allows the caffeine to be transported to the hair roots to help reduce hair loss. Dr. Ruban Nathan, Dermatologist for Hair Restoration, Director of  Dr Ruban’s Skin & Hair Clinic stated, “Amongst all the available shampoo claims, the only credible claim with scientific backing is that the Caffeine-based shampoos have some benefit in pattern hair loss.”

Mouse mommy was so happy to get to know Plantur 39, as in it is specifically design and formulation for women above 40 years old and menopausal women. So considerate of Dr. Wolff and care about women! This will be definitely the best gifts for my lovely mom and aunties. I am sure that Plantur 39 hair care products will be benefits for the ladies that I love and respect.    


A recent trial with female magazine readers in UK proved the efficacy of the products. A panel of 284 women aged between 40-64 tested Plantur 39 for 3 months and used the caffeine shampoo every time they washed their hair.* After the three month trial 87% of women said the condition of their hair had improved after using Plantur 39. More than half (57%) noticed a reduction in hair loss and/or hair thinning since using Plantur 39 and 70% recognised less hair loss in the shower and hairbrush.


Plantur 39 Phyto-Caffeine products are available exclusively at selected Watsons outlets nationwide from late May 2018 onwards.
Plantur 39 Phyto-Caffeine Shampoo for fine, brittle hair (Retails at RM49.90)
Plantur 39 Phyto-Caffeine Shampoo for coloured and stressed hair (Retails at RM49.90)
Plantur 39 Conditioner for coloured and stressed hair (Retails at RM39.90)
Plantur 39 Phyto-Caffeine Tonic (Retails at RM55.90)

Plantur 39 Phyto-Caffeine products contain an active phyto-caffeine complex which prevent the hair roots from premature exhaustion due to menopause. With special galenic formulation, the  caffeine complex as an active ingredient is able to travel all the way to the hair shaft to activate the hair roots and prevent further hair loss.


Plantur 39 improves the resilience of the scalp and hair, promotes regeneration and protects the hair roots from the negative effects of testosterone. To supply the hair with sufficient energy, use one caffeine-containing product every day and leave the shampoo on the scalp for 2 minutes before rinsing out.

Fall In Love With Guardian New Botaneco Garden Trio Oil Organic Anti-Dandruff Haircare Range!


Dandruff can have several causes, with dry skin being the most common cause of flaking dandruff. Other causes include, irregular or incorrect scalp and hair care, over-shampooing and sensitivity to hair care products.
                                  
There are many anti-dandruff treatments. While the majority of anti-dandruff treatment is effective in reducing the formation of dandruff flakes, there is a concern that hair and scalp can be stripped off protective oils making the scalp more prone to flaking due to dryness, and making hair dry and difficult to manage.


Guardian has introduced an anti-dandruff shampoo and conditioner to its popular nature-inspired Botaneco Garden Organic Trio Oil range.  The Botaneco Garden brand is conceptualized, developed, produced, and is available exclusively at Guardian. The anti-dandruff variant is an option for eco-conscious consumers who prefer a gentle yet effective daily shampoo and conditioner to address dandruff.

Mouse mommy’s scalp has dandruffs too and I always use anti-dandruff shampoo to wash my hair in daily basis. But the outcome is my scalp feeling itchiness and I tend to scratch it. My scalp gets irritated and cause even more dandruffs.

Mouse mommy feels so grateful to get to know Botaneco Garden Organic Trio Oil range as in it really helps in solve my dandruff problem. I feel refreshing and no more itchiness after one hair wash. Such a releasing feeling!  


The refreshing scent can be smell once I pump out from the shampoo. It is the mixture of all these natural ingredients of peppermint oil, menthol, tea tree, coconut oil, jojoba oil and the three 100% eco-certified essential oils - Babassu, Baobab and Chufa. Love it so much!  

Guardian Own Brand Director of Health & Beauty, Mr Alfonso Roderos explained that the company is experiencing similar growth in the hair care and skin care segments through brands such as Botaneco Garden.


Mr Alfonso Roderos, Guardian Own Brand Director of Health & Beauty, shared that the Botaneco Garden brand is growing rapidly in tandem with increased consumer interest in green products. The brand now features a robust roster of 43 products since its introduction in 2013.

“Increasingly global trends are moving towards more environmentally conscious, caring and gentle products. These products often see a greater use of green, organic based, sustainable ingredients. It has been the global concern to reduce pollution and the degradation of the environment as well as giving confidence in the quality the process brings. With Botaneco Garden, Guardian is able to give consumers what they desire at an affordable price and with the assurance of a dermatologically tested and proven product range with quality, eco-certified ingredients,” Mr Roderos said.


There are four product categories under the Botaneco Garden brand namely Inca Inchi which uses Inca Inchi and Aloe Vera as key ingredients, the premium Organic Argan and Olive Oil range Botaneco Garden Baby which uses eco-certified chamomile and colloidal oatmeal for a gentle and effective baby range; and the Trio Oil range which uses  a trifecta of 100% eco-certified oil  - Babassu, Baobab and Chufa.

All Botaneco Garden products feature a free-from formulation - free from specific ingredients such as Parabens, silicone, soap, colorant, lanolin & DEA for a unique and caring formulation that is kinder to skin and hair, and to the environment.

Each product within the Botaneco Garden Trio Oil range features five moisturisers – the three main oils, and two others that are chosen for their specific functions for hair and skin. The Botaneco Garden Organic Trio Oil Anti –Dandruff shampoo and conditioner are  enriched with Jojoba and Coconut oil. The moisturising benefits of this range make it gentle and effective in reducing flaky dandruff which ordinarily results from excessive drying of skin and over-activity of the oil gland.


Research studies highlight the benefits of jojoba oil as a moisturizing ingredient. Traditionally jojoba oil have been used in Latin American hair and beauty remedies as a skin and hair conditioner. It is noted for its fast absorption.

Coconut oil has well-studied hair moisture-retaining capabilities. It has been traditionally used for skin and hair conditioning, and for reducing the signs of dandruff by alleviating dry scalp conditions.

The high level of usage results in shampoos being the largest personal care category, representing 37% of the total global hair care market.  With Malaysia’s hot and humid weather, the usage of shampoo may be higher than the global average as most Malaysians tend to wash their hair daily.

“With the Botaneco Garden, we have created a balance between nature and science that provides a gentle and caring hair care routine, even for dandruff prone scalp and hair. The five times moisturisers in Botaneco Garden products address dry scalp, the most frequent cause of dandruff. The use of essential oils such as peppermint, menthol and tea-tree that have been traditionally used for reducing flakes compliment the moisturising benefits in the Botaneco Garden Organic Trio Oil Anti-dandruff range,” Ms Michelle Yeap, Product Manager, Group Health & Beauty.


Tea Tree Oil’s properties have been studied and tested in laboratory tests for its efficacy in reducing the formation of dandruff, and in improving scalp and hair condition. Peppermint contains menthol, selenium and zinc which are proven antiflake ingredients.

“For those with dandruff, take note that it cannot be cured but it can be reduced. Daily usage of a gentle, nature-inspired anti-dandruff hair care range such as Botaneco Garden Organic Trio Oil anti-dandruff shampoo and conditioner can help  to reduce the formation of flakes, while leaving hair smoother and more manageable. When hair and scalp are in better condition users can switch over to a gentle daily usage shampoo and conditioner, with the anti-dandruff range ready if the condition reoccurs,” Ms Yeap said.


The Botaneco Garden Organic Trio Oil Anti-dandruff Shampoo and Conditioner are priced at RM19.90 each, and are available at all Guardian stores nationwide, and through the Guardian e-store.

The Green Tea Shampoo is rich in Vitamin C and E to provide protection for the hair follicles while at the same time ensuring that your hair is always smooth and silky.

Additional compliment for the mild smell of Follow Me Green Tea Soft & Smooth Shampoo as in mouse mommy will feel headache if the shampoo smell was too strong. 



A healthy scalp which is clean, free from dirt, debris and sebum helps create an ideal environment in promoting hair growth; however, frequent perms and poor hygiene that includes irregular shampooing can cause breeding of bacteria that subsequently leads to dandruff and hair fall. Moreover, external environment including the hot and humid weather in Malaysia could also aggravate and potentially trigger a series of hair issues such as oily and itchy scalp, follicle congestion or even hair thinning.         

“Therefore, it is vital that we incorporate a proper hygiene practice right away and having discovered that the ultimate step to haircare starts from the roots by keeping a clean and healthy scalp, Follow Me wishes to deliver haircare solutions to every individual with its reformulated Green Tea Shampoo that is also infused with natural plant extracts for different hair and scalp conditions,” said Jessky Hah, Product Manager of Follow Me.

Specially designed with Green Tea extract, this 6-in-1 Green Tea Shampoo offers 6 different hair scalp solutions in just 1 shampoo. It helps deodorise scalp, relieve scalp itchiness, reduce dandruff, prevent hair fall, and smoothen hair at one go. Moreover, it gives your hair scalp a cooling sensation and fresh fragrance when used. Suitable for individuals with combination of itchy scalp, dandruff, oily scalp and hair fall issue.
The Follow Me Green Tea Anti-Dandruff Shampoo, which is infused with both Green Tea and Seaweed extract is suitable for individuals with dandruff and itchy scalp issue. While the Green Tea extract contains antioxidant properties that protect hair from free radicals, the Seaweed extract that is formulated alongside Pro-Tec complex helps remove loose dandruff flakes, eliminate excessive dead cells on scalp and reduce scalp itchiness, leaving you with a healthier and dandruff-free hair scalp.  
This is a scalp care shampoo that has a combined formulation of Green Tea and Rice Bran Oil extract. It helps protect hair from sun damage, normalizes oily scalp, locks in shine and strengthens hair roots for a healthy and more manageable hair.

It is suitable especially for those who have frizzy, dry hair with split ends.
