About Trichoderm
Overview
TRICHODERM® is a hair-care and hair-growth brand positioned around advanced hair and scalp treatments. The brand focuses primarily on hair-loss reduction, hair-density improvement, hair-follicle support, scalp health, and grey-hair management. Its flagship product family is marketed as TRICHODERM® BlackSeries, which combines plant-derived stem-cell technology, botanical extracts, and active ingredients for the hair and scalp. Newer formulations incorporate technologies involving lipopolysaccharides (LPS), Oryza polyamine, and NMN 1.
The brand presents itself as a premium, science-led, drug-free hair-treatment system, distinguishing itself from conventional shampoo or cosmetic hair-care lines. Products are designed to address various aspects of the hair cycle and the scalp environment.
Note: Performance figures and clinical claims associated with Trichoderm are derived from brand statements or ingredient supplier data. They should not be interpreted as independently established clinical evidence for the finished products.
Brand Identity
- Brand: TRICHODERM®
- Main Product Platform: TRICHODERM® BlackSeries
- Category: Hair care / Scalp care / Hair-growth products

The name “Trichoderm” combines the prefix “tricho-”, relating to hair, with “derm”, commonly associated with skin and scalp science.
History and Development
Publicly available information regarding Trichoderm’s corporate history is limited compared to major multinational beauty companies. Instead, the brand’s communications emphasize the development of its hair-treatment technologies and ingredient systems.
Earlier positioning of the BlackSeries centered heavily on TrichoCell™ Deep-Seated Self-Regeneration Technology, utilizing plant stem cells from Swiss apple and argan trees, Japanese botanical extracts, and a proprietary Trichological Complex 2.
Newer materials have expanded this concept into what the brand calls “Trichoimmunology,” which focuses on the relationship between the scalp’s immune environment, microbiome, and hair follicles. The newer Trichoderm Pro X AuraLPS platform highlights LPS, Oryza polyamine, NMN, Swiss apple and argan plant stem cells, and the Trichological Complex 3. This evolution marks a shift from a predominantly hair-follicle/stem-cell regeneration narrative toward a broader hair-follicle, scalp biology, and microbiome/immune-system narrative.
Brand Philosophy
Trichoderm’s approach is divided into four main pillars:
1. Hair-Follicle Regeneration
The brand argues that supporting the biological environment surrounding hair follicles helps maintain the hair-growth cycle and improves hair density. BlackSeries materials emphasize hair-follicle stem cells and the activation of their self-renewal.
2. Scalp Health
Trichoderm treats the scalp as a critical component of hair health rather than focusing exclusively on the visible hair shaft. The Scalp Health Series addresses scalp sensitivity, dandruff, itching, and the scalp microbiome.
3. Hair-Loss Management
Dedicated anti-hair-loss products include leave-on serums, treatment shampoos, and oral supplements. The company describes these products as helping reduce shedding and increase hair density.
4. Grey-Hair Management
A separate product category focuses on hair repigmentation and grey-hair reversal, marketed under the Grey Hair Reverse/Anti-Grey Hair range.
Product Portfolio
Trichoderm’s portfolio is broadly divided into four categories.
1. Anti-Hair-Loss / Hair-Growth Series
This core category includes the BlackSeries line, featuring:
- Intensive Reactive Serum
- Treatment Shampoo
- Intensive Anti-Hair-Loss Oral Supplement
- Men-specific and Women-specific formulations
The serum is a leave-on scalp treatment applied directly to areas experiencing thinning. Formulations typically contain combinations of plant stem-cell extracts, Japanese botanical extracts, the Trichological Complex, vitamins, nutrients, amino acids, and other hair-supporting ingredients. For instance, published ingredient lists for women’s serums include Malus domestica fruit cell culture extract, Argania spinosa callus culture extract, ginseng, niacinamide, biotin, zinc gluconate, and various botanical extracts.
2. AuraLPS / Trichoderm Pro
One of the more recent directions is the Trichoderm Pro X AuraLPS platform. Based on the concept of Trichoimmunology, it lists the following as important components:
- LPS (lipopolysaccharide)
- Oryza polyamine
- NMN
- Swiss apple plant stem cells
- Argan plant stem cells
- Trichological Complex
The marketing proposition suggests that improving the biological environment around the hair follicle supports the hair-growth cycle. It is noted that the presence of an ingredient does not necessarily prove the finished commercial product produces the same effect as ingredient-level studies.
3. Scalp Health Series
This dedicated series includes:
- Soothing Hair and Scalp Serum
- Soothing Shampoo for Normal to Dry Hair
- Soothing Shampoo for Oily Hair
The line focuses on the scalp microbiome, irritation, dandruff, sensitivity, and comfort. For example, the normal-to-dry scalp shampoo uses a prebiotic complex containing lactitol and xylitol, intended to support beneficial scalp bacteria and the scalp’s natural barrier. This positions scalp health as a foundation for healthy hair.
4. Anti-Grey Hair / Grey Hair Reverse
This distinctive part of the portfolio includes:
- Anti-Grey Hair Treatment Serum
- Anti-Grey Hair Treatment Shampoo
- Grey Hair Reverse oral supplement
The topical serum is positioned around hair repigmentation rather than functioning as a conventional hair dye. Published formulations include acetyl tyrosine, palmitoyl dipeptide-52, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-20, Camellia japonica seed oil, and various botanical extracts. The company cites a clinical study of a Greyverse™ ingredient involving 15 volunteers over three months; however, this study concerned the ingredient rather than establishing results for the entire finished Trichoderm product.
TrichoCell™
Associated with the BlackSeries, TrichoCell™ is described by the company as a “Deep-Seated Self-Regeneration Technology” aimed at hair-follicle stem cells. It combines Swiss apple stem-cell technology, argan stem-cell technology, Japanese botanical extracts, and the Trichological Complex to support hair-follicle activity and density.
Swiss Apple Stem Cells
Derived from a rare Swiss apple variety, these extracts are claimed to help nourish and protect the scalp while supporting the skin’s regenerative environment.
Argan Stem Cells
Using Argania spinosa cell-culture technology, this ingredient is associated with supporting dermal stem cells and the regenerative environment around hair follicles.
Japanese Botanical Extracts
Major components of the BlackSeries include:
- Eriobotrya japonica
- Prunus mume
- Swertia japonica
- Hops
- Marjoram
- Licorice
- Chamomile
- Ginseng
These extracts are associated with hair-root support, density, elasticity, and scalp nourishment.
Differentiation Strategy
Trichoderm differentiates itself by combining hair follicle, scalp, and biological environment concepts, moving beyond simple shampoo and cosmetic conditioning. The brand integrates:
- Hair-growth science
- Stem-cell/cell-culture technology
- Botanical extracts
- Scalp microbiome focus
- Hair-follicle biology
- Trichoimmunology
- Anti-grey-hair technology
- Oral and topical approaches
Claimed Results
The brand’s website presents numerical claims for its BlackSeries technology, including:
- 50% slower hair-follicle regression
- 45% reduction in hair loss
- 163% growth of new hair
These figures appear on the brand’s own website accompanied by references to internal or supplier data. Therefore, they are described as brand-reported results rather than universally established clinical outcomes. The company notes that individual results may vary.
Target Market
Trichoderm targets consumers concerned with:
- Hair thinning and shedding
- Reduced hair density
- Aging, weak, or fragile hair
- Scalp sensitivity, dandruff, and discomfort
- Premature greying and loss of natural pigmentation
The brand offers separate formulations for men and women, particularly within its anti-hair-loss range. Its positioning is clearly premium, emphasizing biotechnology and specialized active ingredients.
Distribution and Presence
Trichoderm operates dedicated brand websites, including an international site and a Singapore-focused site. In Singapore, retail availability is indicated through Guardian, alongside its online store.
Scientific and Medical Context
There is a distinction between cosmetic/consumer marketing and medical treatment of hair loss. Trichoderm’s product documentation describes its items as drug-free. For some products, it explicitly states they cannot be used for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease. Consequently, Trichoderm is best described as a hair/scalp-care and cosmetic treatment brand rather than a proven medical treatment for conditions such as androgenetic alopecia or alopecia areata.

Trichoderm is understood as a specialized hair-science brand where identity is built around approaching hair loss and quality through the hair follicle, scalp environment, and hair-growth cycle. While the original BlackSeries emphasizes stem-cell and botanical technologies, newer products add concepts such as LPS, scalp microbiome, and “Trichoimmunology.” There is a gap between the sophistication of the brand’s scientific marketing and publicly accessible independent clinical evidence for the finished products, requiring a clear distinction between brand claims, ingredient-level evidence, and independently replicated clinical evidence. 3
