Avocutine
Avocutine is the trade name for butyl avocadate, which as the name suggests is a patented ingredient made from avocado pear oil. Avocutine helps your hair by inhibiting the production of harmful DHT and reducing oil on the scalp and hair. This results in less scalp inflammation and healthier hair growth.

| Avocutine inhibited 5 alpha reductase activity by 49%. |
Fights 5 alpha reductase, the precursor
of DHT
Avocutine curbs the production of excess DHT by stemming the activity of the enzyme 5 alpha reductase. This enzyme is needed to convert testosterone into DHT. Once made, DHT destroys hair follicles by causing them to shrink and become inflamed.
In a 2004 clinical test, Avocutine inhibited the activity of the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase by 49%. In addition, 27 individuals using 1% Avocutine for three weeks received the following benefits:
- 69% reduction in cumulative lipids (reducing greasiness of hair)
- 46% reduction in scalp seborrhea
- 50% reduction in hair seborrhea
- 82% reduction in skin redness
- 80% reduction in itching

| Avocutine improved hair quality in 5 areas. |
