Celebrating 10 Years of Nutrafol

We’re built on the belief that meaningful improvements in hair health don’t happen overnight. Real change takes time. Long before hair wellness gained widespread popularity, we were investing in research, clinical studies, and innovation designed to support hair and scalp health. Over the last 10 years, that commitment has remained constant as we’ve developed physician-formulated hair health products that deliver results you can trust.

As we celebrate this milestone, it’s an opportunity to reflect on a decade of growth—from early research and product launches to the incredible, growing community who have trusted us on their hair wellness journeys.

We launched Hair Growth Nutraceuticals for Women and Men, establishing the core of what would become a comprehensive approach to hair wellness. These trailblazing formulas were developed to address 6 key root causes of hair thinning: stress, hormones, nutrition, metabolism, lifestyle, and aging. During these foundational years, we published our first paper in the Journal of Drugs and Dermatology, signaling our commitment to clinical validation. 

Recognizing that hair health is deeply personal, we also introduced hair wellness consultations with naturopathic doctors to support customers on their hair journeys, along with a Hair Mineral Analysis program designed to provide personalized insights into which root causes might be influencing a person’s hair health.

Our Nutrafol Women Hair Growth Nutraceutical earned the Allure Breakthrough Beauty Award, marking the first major industry acknowledgment of our whole-body approach. Chosen by Allure’s editors and backed by expert review, the Breakthrough Beauty award recognizes the most innovative beauty products of the year—formulas that represent true scientific advancement and deliver meaningful results.

We launched Nutrafol Women’s Balance Hair Growth Nutraceutical, a formula developed to support women over the age of 45. The formula filled a long-standing gap in hair wellness by providing optimized support for hormonal changes during and following the menopausal transition. As part of our commitment to innovating for this unique stage in women’s lives, we are the first and only hair growth supplement brand with published clinical studies on menopausal women with hair thinning.** 

Around this time we introduced Hair Growth Duos, pairing targeted formulas with additional support to address root causes of hair thinning where needed, recognizing that hair health challenges vary throughout a person's life.

We were granted a patent for our Synergen Complex^®, a proprietary drug-free blend designed to target multiple root causes of thinning hair simultaneously. Our Synergen Complex^® is the basis of all our Nutraceuticals, which are formulated according to specific root causes impacting individuals of distinct life stages and lifestyles. 

We achieved designation as the #1 dermatologist-recommended hair growth supplement brand.^† This recognition reflects the confidence dermatologists place in us as a science-backed option for people seeking support for healthier hair. 

In 2021, we continued to innovate, expanding products to support women during even more life stages with the introduction of Nutrafol Postpartum. This OBGYN-developed formula with breastfeeding-friendly ingredients helps support the significant amount of women who report experiencing postpartum hair thinning.^1,2  

In 2022, we introduced Nutrafol Hair Serum, designed to provide targeted scalp support and complement the internal approach of Hair Growth Nutraceuticals for visibly thicker, fuller hair. By supporting scalp health, the serum helps create an environment for hair to grow and thrive. Not long after, Nutrafol Hair Serum was recognized in the industry by CEW Creator Awards, and we unveiled more scalp care products, like the Root Purifier Shampoo and Build-Up Blocker Scalp Mask. 

By 2023, our community had grown to one million people. We launched Nutrafol Women’s Vegan, expanding options for female customers looking for a plant-based option or one without biotin. That same year, we published research exploring the scalp microbiome—an emerging area of science that may influence hair health. This led to the launch of Active Cleanse 2-in-1 Shampoo and Conditioner for men, the first 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner certified to be microbiome-friendly, in 2024.^‡ 

The next year,  the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology published a study showing significant improvements in hair growth, coverage, and quality with Nutrafol Women’s Vegan—further proof of our commitment to providing our community with science-backed, efficacious products. 

This year brought several firsts:

After reviewing over 300 scientific papers, it became clear that men's root causes of hair thinning change as they mature. Men's testosterone levels decrease by about 20% by age 50,³ creating distinct biological needs that require targeted formulation. That led us to launch Men's 50+—the first and only hair growth product specifically formulated for men over 50.^¶

Today, more than 1.5 million people are growing with Nutrafol.* We have completed 26 clinical studies in hair wellness, including 3 randomized, placebo-controlled trials.

More than 7,500 hair care and healthcare professionals now recommend us, including over 6,000 healthcare providers and more than 1,500 hair salons.^‖ Our formulas have also received more than 40 beauty, wellness, and innovation awards.

This milestone is a celebration of everyone who’s grown with us over the past decade. From the beginning, Nutrafol has been built with—and for—our customers. Their trust, consistency, and commitment are at the heart of everything we do—for the last 10 years, today, and for the future of hair health.
