Why It Works:
Invictus Hair Growth Oil
Three reasons hair thins.
One formula built to work on all three.
Most oils sit on the surface and hope. Invictus is formulated to work where thinning actually begins, at the follicle, addressing the hormonal, circulatory, and scalp-environment drivers behind thinning in both men and women.
Try InvictusThe Main Drivers
The three drivers behind thinning
Hormonal Thinning
Hormonal shifts gradually shrink the follicle and shorten each growth cycle, so strands grow in finer until, eventually, they stop. It affects men and women alike, and it tends to accelerate with age and stress.
Poor Scalp Circulation
Without adequate blood flow, follicles don't receive the oxygen and nutrients they need to stay active. Dormant follicles don't regrow hair on their own.
Scalp Environment
Buildup, inflammation, and dryness block the follicle opening and create conditions where growth slows, even in follicles that haven't fully miniaturized yet.
The formula,
ingredient by ingredient
Every active in Invictus earns its place against at least one of the three drivers above. Nothing is here for fragrance, filler, or marketing.
How It Works
Rosemary is studied for its links to scalp circulation and follicle activity. In a 2015 clinical trial, rosemary extract matched minoxidil for hair count improvement at 6 months, with less scalp itch.
It also stimulates circulation to the scalp, making it one of the few ingredients that fights two of the three main drivers simultaneously.
Studied against pharmaceutical-grade minoxidil in peer-reviewed research
How It Works
High in ricinoleic acid, which screening research identified as an inhibitor of prostaglandin D2 synthase, the pathway found elevated in balding scalps. Applied to the scalp it also improves local blood flow, delivering nutrients directly to the root.
It also coats the hair shaft to reduce breakage, meaning less shedding while the follicle strengthens.
Ricinoleic acid identified as a prostaglandin D2 synthase inhibitor (Fong et al., Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2015)
How It Works
Peppermint oil drives blood flow directly to the scalp, waking up follicles that have gone dormant. A 2014 study found it outperformed minoxidil in both follicle count and depth after just 4 weeks of use.
That tingling you feel is not just sensation. It is blood reaching parts of your scalp it was not reaching before, bringing the oxygen and nutrients your follicles need to grow.

How It Works
Tea tree oil brings natural antimicrobial and clarifying action to the scalp. Applied alongside a carrier oil, it clears the buildup, flaking, and microbial overgrowth that clog follicles, keeping the scalp clean and balanced so hair grows from a healthy base.
A clean scalp is the base everything else works from. Clearing buildup and flaking keeps the follicle opening clear so the other three actives can reach it.
5% tea tree oil improved scalp condition 41% vs 11% for placebo in a randomized trial (Satchell, JAAD, 2002)Straight Answers
What people ask before they start
“I’ve tried oils before.”
Most were fragrance and filler. Every active in Invictus is chosen to target a specific driver of thinning, and each one is backed by peer-reviewed research rather than marketing.
“Does natural really work?”
In a six-month clinical trial, rosemary matched minoxidil for hair-count improvement, with less scalp irritation. We put the studies on this page so you can read them yourself.
“Is it made for women too?”
Yes. Thinning shares the same root drivers in men and women, and Invictus is formulated for both. It stays gentle on color-treated, bleached, and keratin-treated hair.

We don't borrow authority. We cite it.
Every active in this formula has published research behind it. Here are the studies.
Matched minoxidil 2% for hair count at six months
A randomized 6-month trial on androgenetic alopecia found rosemary oil matched minoxidil 2% for hair count improvement, with significantly less scalp itching.
Panahi et al., SKINmed, 2015Studied for its role in the pathway behind hair thinning
Rosemary leaf extract promoted hair growth in preclinical research, with activity linked to inhibition of 5-alpha reductase, an enzyme involved in hair thinning.
Murata et al., Phytotherapy Research, 2013More follicles, deeper follicles, in four weeks
3% peppermint oil produced a 92% increase in follicle count and deeper follicles at 4 weeks, outperforming the 3% pharmaceutical control in the same preclinical study.
Oh et al., Toxicological Research, 2014Castor's main fatty acid hits the balding-scalp pathway
Ricinoleic acid, the main fatty acid in castor oil, was identified in screening research as an inhibitor of prostaglandin D2 synthase, the pathway elevated in balding scalps.
Fong et al., Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 20155% tea tree oil improved scalp condition nearly 4× over placebo
In a 126-person randomized trial, a 5% tea tree oil treatment improved scalp condition 41% versus 11% for placebo, clearing the flaking and microbial buildup that compromise the environment hair depends on.
Satchell et al., Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 2002Real change takes a full growth cycle
Across the trials above, measurable change appears at 8 to 12+ weeks, a full hair growth cycle. No study shows overnight results, which is why our guarantee runs 90 days.
Findings refer to peer-reviewed studies of individual ingredients, not of the finished product.
Regrowth without
the trade-offs.
No prescription. No hormones. No shedding phase. Four studied botanicals, made for men and women, with reduced shedding around weeks 4 to 6 and visible change by week 12.
