Tales from Nature
Caffeine (1,3,7-trimethylxanthine) is a naturally occurring alkaloid found in coffee, cocoa, tea, cola, guarana, and mate plants and in beverages derived from them. It is commonly found within infusions from the seeds and leaves of coffee and tea, as well as in many foods and drinks that contain kola nut products. The great popularity of caffeinated beverages makes this psychoactive, stimulating, and exciting substance.
Hair Benefits

It also fights the harmful effects of UV rays and photo aging. It stimulates the microcirculation of the scalp, promoting a better supply of nutrients to the hair follicles and thus helping to strengthen hair and fight hair loss.
Its energizing and revitalizing action supports the hair growth cycle, improving hair strength and density. In addition, thanks to its antioxidant properties, it protects the hair fiber from oxidative stress and external agents, making hair visibly more vital and toned, counteracting thinning and prolonging its growth phase.
