The Moérie ingredient philosophy
Every Moérie product is designed with a long-term approach to hair and scalp care, focusing on rich ingredients that fit into consistent routines. Across the topical range, ingredients are selected with a high proportion of natural-origin components, with some formulas containing up to 91%, depending on the product.
The Moérie range was developed over a three-year research and formulation phase, with ingredients assessed both individually and in combination. Instead of relying on single hero ingredients, the formulas use complementary ingredients designed to work together in line with cosmetic and supplement use guidelines.
Each ingredient is included for a specific purpose and fits into the overall system of everyday hair care.
The signature growth complex
At the center of Moérie’s topical range is a core ingredient framework known as the signature growth complex. This complex combines fulvic acid, biotin, caffeine, and zinc PCA, and is used across the topical range. Rather than acting in isolation, these ingredients complement each other and support scalp balance and hair fiber structure.
Fulvic acid
Ingredient type: mineral-rich organic compound
Fulvic acid is a naturally occurring substance formed through the breakdown of plant matter. In cosmetic formulations, it is valued for its ability to bind and transport minerals and trace elements. Fulvic acid acts as a carrier, helping support the delivery and availability of other functional ingredients at the scalp surface.
Biotin (vitamin B7)
Ingredient type: vitamin
Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin commonly associated with hair and skin care. When used topically, biotin supports the appearance of stronger hair fiber and helps maintain normal hair structure, particularly in hair that appears weakened or prone to breakage.
Caffeine
Ingredient type: cosmetic active
Caffeine is widely used in scalp care for its stimulating properties. In topical application, caffeine helps support scalp vitality and is commonly included in formulas designed for thinning or slow-growing hair, where maintaining an active scalp environment is important.
Zinc PCA
Ingredient type: mineral salt
Zinc PCA is a zinc-based compound used in scalp care for its balancing properties. It helps regulate excess oil on the scalp and contributes to overall scalp comfort, creating conditions that are more favorable for the appearance of healthy hair.
Working together, the signature growth complex supports scalp condition and helps improve the overall look of the hair with ongoing use.
Botanical growth stimulators
Plant-derived extracts are used throughout the range to support scalp comfort and overall hair condition. These botanicals are incorporated for their conditioning and soothing properties, and work alongside the signature growth complex to help keep the scalp feeling comfortable and hair looking healthy.
Panax ginseng root extract (Panax ginseng)
Ingredient type: botanical extract
Panax ginseng root extract is derived from the root of the ginseng plant and contains naturally occurring antioxidants and plant compounds. In cosmetic scalp care, it is included to help maintain scalp vitality and comfort. Its antioxidant properties contribute to protecting the scalp from external stressors that can affect overall hair quality.
Onion bulb extract (Allium cepa)
Ingredient type: botanical extract
Allium cepa extract is obtained from onion bulbs and is naturally rich in sulfur-containing compounds and flavonoids. In hair care formulations, it helps maintain hair fiber resilience and contributes to a balanced, well-conditioned scalp environment.
Aloe vera leaf juice (Aloe barbadensis)
Ingredient type: botanical humectant
Aloe vera leaf juice is extracted from the leaves of the aloe plant and is widely used for its hydrating and soothing properties. Aloe vera contributes to scalp comfort and moisture balance, particularly for scalps that feel dry or sensitive. As a humectant, it helps retain moisture without weighing hair down.
These botanical extracts work alongside the rest of the formula to help keep the scalp comfortable, hydrated, and well conditioned.
Scalp revitalization and essential oils
A carefully balanced blend of essential oils adds freshness and comfort to the scalp while providing a naturally derived scent. These essential oils are used in controlled amounts and serve as the source of fragrance in the formulas, avoiding the use of unspecified synthetic fragrance blends (“parfum”).
Peppermint oil (Mentha piperita)
Ingredient type: essential oil
Peppermint oil is distilled from the leaves of the peppermint plant. In scalp care, it is valued for the cooling and refreshing sensation it provides. When applied topically, it helps promote a feeling of scalp freshness and comfort, particularly on scalps that feel heavy or congested.
Lavender oil (Lavandula angustifolia)
Ingredient type: essential oil
Lavender oil is extracted from lavender flowers and is known for its calming properties. In scalp care, it helps maintain a balanced scalp feel and is commonly included in formulas intended for regular use.
Pink grapefruit peel oil (Citrus grandis)
Ingredient type: essential oil
Pink grapefruit oil is cold-pressed from the peel of the grapefruit fruit. It adds a light, citrus note to the formula and contains naturally occurring antioxidant compounds, supporting the overall sensory experience of the product.
Used in controlled amounts, these essential oils help keep the scalp comfortable and give the formula a light, natural scent.
Wild mint oil (Mentha arvensis)
Ingredient type: essential oil
Wild mint oil is derived from the leaves of the Mentha arvensis plant. It provides a gentle cooling effect and contributes to overall scalp comfort, complementing peppermint oil without overwhelming the skin.
Rosemary oil (Rosmarinus officinalis)
Ingredient type: essential oil
Rosemary oil is obtained from the leaves of the rosemary plant and is traditionally used in hair care formulations. It supports scalp comfort and contributes to maintaining a clean, refreshed scalp feel.
The protein and amino acid matrix
A combination of proteins and amino acids helps reinforce the hair fiber, supporting a smoother feel and improved resilience. These ingredients help smooth the hair’s surface, making it feel easier to manage.
Hydrolysed soy protein
Ingredient type: plant-derived protein
Hydrolysed soy protein is a low-molecular-weight protein that can adhere to the hair surface. In cosmetic formulations, it is used to help improve the appearance of hair strength and elasticity, particularly in hair that feels weakened or prone to breakage.
Hydrolysed silk
Ingredient type: protein
Hydrolysed silk proteins are valued for their film-forming properties. When applied to hair, they help smooth the hair surface and enhance softness and manageability, contributing to hair that looks healthier and more even in texture.
Arginine HCl
Ingredient type: amino acid
Arginine is an amino acid naturally present in hair structure. In topical hair care, arginine contributes to improved hair condition and resilience and supports the outer structure of the hair fiber.
Ornithine
Ingredient type: amino acid
Ornithine is included as part of amino acid complexes in hair care products. It contributes to conditioning the hair fiber and supports the overall protein matrix that helps maintain hair structure.
Citrulline
Ingredient type: amino acid
Citrulline is an amino acid often used alongside arginine and ornithine in cosmetic formulations. Together, these ingredients work on the hair’s surface to support a smoother look and easier styling.
This blend of proteins and amino acids helps hair feel smoother and more resilient, supporting a healthier-looking finish with continued use.
Beauty from within
For those following a combined routine, alongside topical hair care, Moérie also offers ingestible supplements to support hair health from within. These formulas are designed to complement cosmetic care by helping normal physiological processes involved in the maintenance of hair, skin, and nails.
Vitamins
Ingredient types: vitamins C, D3, E, B12, folic acid
These vitamins are involved in a range of normal bodily functions, including nutrient metabolism, antioxidant protection, and cell maintenance. Within Moérie supplements, they help support overall nutritional balance, which can contribute to the maintenance of normal hair, skin, and nail condition.
Minerals
Ingredient types: selenium, zinc, copper
Minerals play an essential role in many biological processes. In supplement form, selenium, zinc, and copper contribute to normal hair and skin health and strengthen the body’s natural defense systems against oxidative stress.
Turmeric (Curcuma longa)
Ingredient type: botanical extract
Turmeric is a plant-derived ingredient traditionally used for its antioxidant properties. In Moérie supplements, turmeric contributes to overall wellness support as part of a balanced formulation.
It’s helpful to understand the difference between topical cosmetic benefits, which focus on the appearance and condition of the hair and scalp, and ingestible nutraceutical support, which works internally to help maintain normal body functions.
Our “never“ list
Ingredient transparency also means being clear about what we leave out. Moérie products are developed with clear exclusion standards, so it’s easier to choose formulas that feel right for your routine.
Sulfates (SLS and SLES)
Moérie shampoos are formulated without sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and sodium laureth sulfate (SLES). These sulfates are commonly used for strong cleansing but can be too harsh for regular use, particularly on scalps that feel sensitive or dry.
Parabens
Moérie products are paraben-free. Alternative preservative systems are used to ensure product safety, stability, and shelf life while remaining suitable for regular cosmetic use.
Artificial colors
No artificial colorants are added to Moérie formulas. The appearance and scent of the products come from the ingredients themselves, including botanical extracts and essential oils.
Overall, this reflects Moérie’s focus on mild, balanced formulas designed for everyday use and scalp comfort.
Clinical evidence and verification
Moérie product development draws on ingredient research, formulation testing, and structured user feedback gathered during evaluation phases. When products were used consistently as part of a routine, users reported visible changes in hair condition.
In consumer research conducted over a 90 to 120 day period, participants reported the following observations:
- 85% noticed an improvement in the appearance of hair growth;
- 80% noticed an improvement in overall hair quality;
- 75% noticed that their hair felt stronger.
These outcomes are based on consumer research, observational testing, and customer testimonials collected during the research period. Individual results may vary depending on hair type, how consistently the products are used, and lifestyle factors.
These findings help set realistic expectations, as changes in hair look and feel usually develop gradually with regular use.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take for fulvic acid and biotin to work?
Fulvic acid and biotin are part of Moérie’s broader ingredient system rather than acting on their own. In user research, visible changes in hair condition were reported after 90 to 120 days of consistent use as part of a complete routine. This reflects the gradual way hair responds to regular care over time.
How can you tell if biotin is working?
Early signs can include hair that feels smoother or stronger, improved shine, or less breakage during washing and styling. These changes usually happen gradually and can vary depending on your hair type, how consistently you use the products, and your overall hair fiber resilience.
Can thinning hair grow back?
Hair growth follows a natural cycle, and results vary from person to person. Moérie products are designed to support healthy-looking hair and a comfortable scalp, helping hair appear fuller and stronger over time. They are not intended to treat medical hair loss or change the natural hair growth cycle.
What happens if you take too much fulvic acid?
Fulvic acid is used in Moérie supplements and topical products in carefully controlled amounts. As with any supplement, it’s best to follow the recommended dosage on the packaging. Taking more than advised does not increase effectiveness and may not be suitable for everyone. If you’re unsure about dosage or suitability, we recommend speaking with a healthcare professional.
