Exocuat

It doesn't feed hair from the outsideIt speaks to the root

Exosomes are extracellular vesicles that carry proteins, lipids and RNA. They are the messaging system of living things, the way one cell tells another how to behave. On the scalp, that same signal can steer the environment where hair is born and grows.

How an exosome communicates with the follicle

Science, in motion

A visual tour of the cellular signaling system and why it matters for the future of hair care.

The limit

Traditional hair care ingredients act only on the surface

  • They nourish the fiber, but they don't communicate with the root
  • The scalp responds as far as its own signal reaches
  • The result stalls without the message that guides it

The leap

Exosomes speak the language of the follicle

  • They carry biological signals to the cells of the scalp
  • They target the natural environment where hair grows from the root
  • Targeted communication, on the scale determined by the root

Mechanism of action

From the scalp to the roots, step by step.

Step 01

Exosomal origin

An exosome is a messenger nanovesicle: the cell releases it loaded with signaling factors, lipids, and genetic material. It is a packaged biological instruction.

Step 02

Application to the scalp

When applied to the scalp, the vesicles migrate through the skin barrier toward their destination: the follicle, where each hair is born.

Step 03

Descent through the follicular duct

Because of its nanoscale size (30, 150 nm), it passes through the follicular canal and reaches the bulb intact, where the dermal papilla cells are located.

Step 04

Recognition at the root

The membranes fuse with the cells of the papilla. The message is delivered directly, without forcing its way in, without any intermediate barriers.

Step 05

Root activation

Signal molecules reprogram the cells. The follicle receives the signal of vitality, and that translates into the hair that will grow later.

Why it is different

01 · Nanometric scale

The size of a message, not a layer

Vesicles within the natural size range of exosomes, small enough to move within the scalp environment and deliver their signal where it is needed.

02 · Biological cargo

They carry instructions, not just materials

Inside it carries proteins, lipids and RNA, which is how follicle cells reach agreement.

03 · Botanical origin

Plant-derived bioactivity

Derived from plant sources, a sustainable and biocompatible way to incorporate advanced signaling into hair care.

04 · Biocompatibilidad

The scalp recognizes them as its own

Natural vesicle structure: The body is designed to receive these types of messengers on the scalp as well, not to block them.

On the hair

Where the signal becomes hair care

Four areas where exosome signaling redefines what a formula can convey to the hair.

  • Follicular environment

    Vitalidad

    It complements the natural environment where hair grows, providing the signals that promote its vitality day after day

  • Cell communication

    Cycle balance

    It guides the cellular communication in the scalp toward a more balanced hair cycle, based on the principles of biology itself

  • Barrier support

    Sensitive scalp

    Designed for demanding or recovering scalps, where the right product makes all the difference in comfort

  • Renewal

    Light and body

    It stimulates the mechanisms that restore vitality and shine to the hair shaft, working from the roots to the ends

Before you commit

Try it in your own formula

Exocuat comes in several variants, and the right one depends on your active ingredient, your pH and your process. Tell us what you are formulating and our technical team will work out which one fits, send you the data sheet or give you a call, before you spend a single hour in the lab.

Frequently asked questions

It is an extracellular vesicle: a natural nanocapsule that cells use to communicate with one another. It transports proteins, lipids, and genetic material such as RNA, the language through which a tissue coordinates its behavior.

We work with plant-derived exosomes: a sustainable and biocompatible approach to hair care, free from the technical and regulatory limitations of animal- or human-derived sources.

Lipcuat is a cationic vehicle that you load with an active ingredient to deliver it to the hair fiber. Exocuat is, in and of itself, a biological messenger: its value lies in the signals it carries to the scalp, not just in transporting a substance.

Yes, taking into account the stability and compatibility considerations specific to a biological material. Our technical team evaluates the feasibility of each case before beginning development.
