Aspartic acid plays an important role in protein synthesis and hormone regulation. But did you know it can also prove helpful in maintaining a healthy scalp?
This article explores ways in which aspartic acid can aid hair growth and combat hair loss symptoms as part of Divi’s proprietary formulas making up our Scalp Serum, Shampoo & Conditioner.
Aspartic Acid and its Effect on the Human Body
Aspartic acid is a non-essential amino acid, meaning your body readily and naturally synthesizes it. Essential and nonessential amino acids play an important role in several processes within your body, including the processes that help promote hair health.
Aspartic acid comes in two forms: L-aspartic acid and D-aspartic acid, both of which serve different functions in the body. Aspartic acid is one of the building-block amino acids supporting protein synthesis and hormone regulation.
When it comes to skin care, aspartic acid is used to hydrate and soothe, as well as to strengthen the skin’s environmental defenses. This is why it’s an active ingredient in Divi’s Scalp Serum.
As with several other amino acids, aspartic acid acts as a building block for the production of collagen and elastin in the skin. Studies show how degradation of aspartic acid weakens the skin support.
Aspartic acid plays a vital role in hormone regulation in the human body and it affects scalp health, both of which are contributing factors to hair health and growth.
The Benefits of Aspartic Acid for Your Hair and Scalp
In Divi’s Shampoo, Conditioner and Scalp Serum, aspartic acid is primarily used as a hair and skin-conditioning agent. Due to its unique structure, it can hold moisture and help maintain a healthy scalp.
Divi’s products contain protein and amino acids, which help improve moisture, hydration and hair strength.
Divi uses innovative proprietary blends that enhance the appearance of thicker, fuller hair while targeting the root causes of hair health.
Some of the benefits you’ll reap from using Divi’s products are below.
Increased Scalp and Hair Health
Several factors – like UV radiation, sudden temperature changes, skin conditions and exposure to free radicals – are responsible for skin aging and hair loss. They can harm the skin on the scalp by reducing moisture in the stratum corneum (the outermost layer of the skin), which simultaneously reduces the number of amino acids.
The skin undergoes a unique self-repair process for skin health, which is regulated by various proteins. Thus, the quality and quantity of amino acids present – including aspartic acid – strongly affect the appearance of the skin.
Moreover, when combined with alanine surfactants, aspartic acid surfactants have moisturizing properties. Surfactants, also called surface-active agents, form the core of all shampoo and conditioner formulations and contribute to a wide range of benefits, including cleansing and distributing nutrients to the hair and scalp.
Divi’s Shampoo & Conditioner contain both aspartic acid and alanine, which deeply moisturize the scalp’s surface and provide long-lasting freshness and moisture to the scalp.
Although more scientific research is needed to understand the ways aspartic acid can treat hair loss, it offers multiple benefits capable of aiding in the hair growth cycle.
The Effect of Aspartic Acid Treatments on Follicle Health
Amino acids, like aspartic acid, have a simple relationship with hair. They are the building blocks of all proteins, including keratin, which is the protein that makes up your hair.
Keratin is what gives hair its strength. If amino acids are insufficiently supplied to the hair follicle cells, keratin production may drop or the keratin produced may lose its strength. This can lead to a weakened hair shaft, discolored hair or reduced hair growth.
Aspartic acid can be found in Divi’s Scalp Serum, which uses science-backed, clinically proven ingredients to help invigorate your scalp and combat signs of thinning and shedding.
Divi’s Scalp Serum can help cultivate the healthiest follicular environment by stimulating blood flow to your hair follicles and encouraging healthy hair growth.

Side Effects of Aspartic Acid
Aspartic acid has been evaluated and confirmed safe for cosmetic products. Usage levels of aspartic acid in cosmetics range from 1%-6.5%. Lesser amounts are used when aspartic acid is part of a blend with other amino acids and skin-conditioning ingredients.
In Divi’s products, all ingredients have been measured carefully and dermatologically tested to greatly reduce the chance of any adverse effects. The amount of aspartic acid used in our Hair Products is not concentrated enough to cause any harm.

FAQs
Is Aspartic Acid Safe for the Scalp?
Yes! When used in products formulated with other ingredients, aspartic acid is safe to apply topically to the scalp. In Divi, all ingredients have been clinically tested to ensure they do not cause adverse effects.
Can Aspartic Acid Help With Hair Growth?
While there is no evidence of aspartic acid directly causing hair growth, it is one of the building-block amino acids playing a role in keratin, which is the protein that makes up your hair. Keratin produced for your hair can lose strength if the hair follicle cells have an amino acid deficiency.
Can Aspartic Acid Help a Dry Scalp?
Aspartic acid is commonly used in skin care thanks to its ability to hydrate and soothe. It has also been shown to strengthen the skin’s environmental defenses and help relieve the symptoms of dry scalp.
