The Derma Co Peptide-Stem Cell Hair Fall Control Shampoo Clinical Testing
The Derma Co Peptide-Stem Cell Hair Fall Control Shampoo: In-Vitro Hair Tress Evaluation
An independent in-vitro hair-tress study by Mascot Spincontrol India Pvt. Ltd. evaluated The Derma Co Peptide-Stem Cell Hair Fall Control Shampoo against a non-conditioning shampoo for volumizing effect, tensile strength, hair breakage by manual combing, and sensorial attributes.
In the study, Product A reduced hair breakage by 20.51% after 1 wash, 39.74% after 3 washes, and 57.69% after 6 washes versus its own baseline. At the same timepoints, the reduction in hair breakage was 81.3%, 87.1%, and 88.9% greater versus the non-conditioning shampoo.

Original In-Vitro Study Report
Report Ref. XXX-KH02-HA-AT24-XXX-RA (V01). The report covers the comparative hair-tress evaluation of Product A versus a non-conditioning shampoo.
2. Hair Breakage Analysis by Manual Combing
The report evaluated hair breakage by physically counting broken/fallen hairs after standardized manual combing. Each tress was combed 40 times, and measurements were taken at baseline and after 1, 3, and 6 washes.
| Timepoint | Product A Hair Breakage Count | Product B Hair Breakage Count | Product A Reduction vs Baseline | Reduction vs Product B |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| T0 – Baseline | 7.80 | 7.40 | — | — |
| T1 – After 1 Wash | 6.20 | 7.10 | 20.51% | 81.3% |
| T2 – After 3 Washes | 4.70 | 7.00 | 39.74% | 87.1% |
| T3 – After 6 Washes | 3.30 | 6.90 | 57.69% | 88.9% |
Report interpretation: A significant decrease in broken/fallen hair indicates an effect in reducing hair fall due to breakage and improving hair strength. These are in-vitro hair-tress results and should not be presented as a clinical hair-growth or follicular hair-loss outcome.
3. Volumizing Effect
Volumizing effect was measured using a Diastron Tensile Tester (MTT175). The study assessed total work and peak load required to pass each hair tress through a ring accessory.
| Parameter | After 1 Wash | After 3 Washes | After 6 Washes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Work Improvement vs Baseline | 5.13% | 8.96% | 12.12% |
| Peak Load Improvement vs Baseline | 8.43% | 12.47% | 17.22% |
| Volumizing Effect vs Non-Conditioning Shampoo | 93.9% | 95.3% | 95.8% |
4. Tensile Strength
Tensile strength was evaluated on individual hair strands using the Diastron MTT175. The report assessed corrected break strain and break load.
| Parameter | After 1 Wash | After 3 Washes | After 6 Washes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Corrected Break Strain Improvement | 7.07% | 11.16% | 12.56% |
| Break Load Improvement | 10.11% | 12.54% | 16.80% |
| Tensile Strength vs Non-Conditioning Shampoo | 93.8% | 94.2% | 94.4% |
5. Sensorial Evaluation by Expert Panel
Five experts evaluated 20 hair tresses for manageability, shine, smoothness, softness, dryness and frizz on a 0–10 scale.
| Attribute | After 1 Wash | After 3 Washes | After 6 Washes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manageability Improvement | 23.35% | 47.86% | 68.87% |
| Shine Improvement | 19.32% | 45.08% | 66.29% |
| Smoothness Improvement | 24.42% | 49.22% | 71.71% |
| Softness Improvement | 25.19% | 45.74% | 67.44% |
| Dryness Reduction | 27.06% | 52.79% | 66.05% |
| Frizz Reduction | 26.86% | 47.61% | 58.78% |
The report states that differences in manageability, smoothness, shine, softness, dryness and frizz were statistically significant in favor of Product A versus the non-conditioning shampoo at the assessed post-wash timepoints.
6. Study Methodology
6.1 Hair Tresses
The study used Indian natural black hair tresses. Tresses were approximately 20 cm long, 2.5 cm wide and about 3.0 g in weight.
6.2 Product Application
For the instrumental and manual-combing procedures, 0.3 ml of Product A or Product B was applied to the relevant hair tress, left for 5 minutes and rinsed. Assessments were performed at baseline and after 1, 3 and 6 washes.
6.3 Statistical Analysis
The report describes Shapiro-Wilk testing for distribution normality, Student or Wilcoxon tests for within-product comparisons, and two-sample Student or Mann-Whitney U tests for product comparisons. The significance threshold was fixed at 5%.

8. Frequently Asked Questions
A: It was an in-vitro comparative evaluation on hair tresses. The Derma Co shampoo was compared with a non-conditioning shampoo for volumizing effect, tensile strength, hair breakage by manual combing and sensorial attributes.
A: Product A showed a 57.69% reduction in hair breakage after 6 washes versus its baseline. The report also calculated an 88.9% greater reduction in hair breakage versus the non-conditioning shampoo at the same timepoint.
A: No. This report evaluated treated hair tresses, not hair follicles or human scalp growth. It supports claims around hair breakage, tensile strength, volume and sensorial hair properties under the stated in-vitro conditions.
A: The expert panel assessed manageability, shine, smoothness, softness, dryness and frizz. The report found statistically significant differences in favor of Product A versus the non-conditioning shampoo after treatment.
