NatureLab Tokyo, an innovative haircare brand founded by Rosa Takagi in 2017, is now making waves in Singapore. Blending Japanese heritage with the latest in scientific research, NatureLab Tokyo offers a premium line of haircare products designed to target scalp health at its core. Originally launched in the U.S., the brand was developed in collaboration with expert scientists from both Japan and the U.S., all with a singular focus: delivering clinically proven, effective scalp-friendly solutions.
The Science Behind Scalp Health
NatureLab Tokyo understands that healthy hair starts with a well-nourished scalp. Their approach combines advanced botanical technology with nutrient-rich plant stem cells, addressing hair issues at the cellular level. From environmental damage to imbalances caused by harsh shampoos, scalp health can suffer from various factors. NatureLab Tokyo takes a comprehensive approach, targeting the root causes of common hair problems like irritation and dryness.
Through their meticulously crafted botanical formulations, NatureLab Tokyo has developed solutions that aim to improve shine, volume, smoothness, and repair damage—all while staying true to their motto: Powered by Plants, Perfected by Science, Proven by You.
Harnessing the Power of Plant Stem Cells
NatureLab Tokyo has set itself apart by leveraging plant stem cells to create highly effective products. These plant-based ingredients, cultivated through the brand’s PhytoCellTec technology, are rich in antioxidants and essential nutrients that promote scalp hydration and hair vitality. In contrast to synthetic ingredients, plant stem cells provide a natural shield against environmental stressors like UV rays and pollution, which often cause hair to become dry and brittle.
By infusing their products with these regenerative plant stem cells, NatureLab Tokyo ensures the scalp remains moisturized and rejuvenated, paving the way for healthier, more vibrant hair.
