    GlossaryEmollient

    An emollient is a substance that helps to soften and soothe the skin, making it particularly relevant in the context of hair loss treatments and scalp health. By moisturizing the scalp and hair, emollients can improve the overall condition of hair follicles, potentially reducing irritation and promoting a healthier environment for hair growth. Key distinguishing characteristics of emollients include their ability to form a protective barrier on the skin, preventing moisture loss and enhancing the skin's natural barrier function.
