Embodying the Vitality of Nature… The Story of Special Ingredients for Your Hair and Scalp
"We capture the power of nature at the very moment it holds its most vibrant vitality."
The ingredients we use begin with plants growing within the beautiful nature of Korea. We select special plants that help alleviate hair loss and improve the health of the scalp environment, extracting their unique energy in its purest form to include in our products.
Capturing the Fluids of Living Plants: Low-Temperature Vacuum Extraction
Typically, when people think of extracting active ingredients from plants, they imagine boiling them in water or alcohol. However, we insist on the low-temperature vacuum (reduced pressure) method to preserve the plant's inherent vitality. This technology minimizes the destruction of active ingredients by heat and extracts the fluid (sap) components contained within flowers, leaves, stems, and roots in their original form.
This principle is similar to the PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy used in hair loss treatment. PRP therapy involves separating plasma rich in growth factors and active components from our own blood and re-injecting it into the scalp. Similarly, we extract living nutrients such as various phytochemicals, minerals, and amino acids contained in plant fluids without loss and supply them to the scalp. By extracting the fluid components in their original form, we can even preserve the most exquisite fragrances of the flowers and leaves.
Plant Materials Containing the Essence of Korea's Four Seasons
We use plants that represent each season and boast their own resilient vitality as raw materials.
- Flowers: Camellia, Plum Blossom, Cherry Blossom, Japanese Spicebush Flower, Green Tea Flower, Kudzu Flower, Chrysanthemum
- Leaves: Ginkgo Leaf, Jeju Camphor Leaf, Wild Peach Leaf, Cypress Leaf
- Sprouts: Barley Sprout
- Whole Aerial Parts: Celandine, Mugwort, Bamboo Leaf
- Roots: Hardy Kiwi (Darae)
A Year of Waiting: Harvesting and Extraction According to Nature’s Time
To obtain the finest ingredients, we follow the timing of nature. We collect materials by capturing the exact moment when the flowers and leaves bloom and grow most vigorously—when their energy reaches its peak. For flowers in particular, the blooming period lasts only one to two weeks; if we miss this window, we must wait until the following year. Barley sprouts also hold their richest nutrients when they have grown about 7–10 cm, so harvesting and extraction are carried out only during this brief period.
The Seasonal Harvest and Extraction Journey
- Early Spring (Feb–Mar): Camellia, Plum Blossom, and Cherry Blossom, which overcome the cold winter to announce the first signs of spring.
- Spring (Mar–May): Mugwort, Celandine, and Bamboo leaves that sprout with robust vitality.
- Summer (July–Aug): Kudzu flowers that emit a deep fragrance while enduring the intense heat.
- Autumn (Oct): Green tea flowers, Chrysanthemums, and Hardy Kiwi that embody clear and bright energy.
- Spring & Summer: Ginkgo, Cypress, Camphor, and Wild Peach leaves.
As such, our ingredients are the precious results of a year-long wait and an intensive effort to capture the most brilliant moments of each plant. The pure vitality obtained by respecting the laws of nature will bring healthy changes to your scalp.
Customized Prescription and Formulation with 20 Years of Know-how
These precious natural ingredients are not applied the same way to everyone. We meticulously diagnose each patient's scalp condition to provide the optimal solution. Considering the degree of dandruff, itching, progression of hair loss, and the oiliness or dryness of the scalp, we select the most appropriate ingredients from numerous plant components and blend them at ideal concentrations for a personalized prescription.
Which plant to choose, which plants to combine, and how to adjust the concentration—this is the core know-how of Lee Moon Won Clinic, which has researched and treated scalp diseases and hair loss for the past 20 years. Some of this core know-how has been patented and is used as unique ingredients exclusive to Lee Moon Won Clinic. Currently, Lee Moon Won Clinic holds 10 patents, with an 11th patent currently under review.
Beyond Simple Natural Ingredients: Core Technical Prowess
Anyone can say they 'use natural ingredients.' However, knowing which plants are truly effective for scalp diseases and hair loss, extracting active ingredients without destroying them, and finding the optimal concentration and blending ratio for an individual's condition is an entirely different story. This is our unique core know-how and unparalleled technical power accumulated through long-term research and countless clinical experiences. We add sophisticated technology and deep experience to the pure vitality of nature to provide the most effective solution for your scalp.
