About our products and their claims
Rootessa sells three products, and they fall under two different regulatory categories in the United States. Please read the section that applies to the product you're interested in.
Rootessa Peptide Serum & Rootessa Hair Oil Topical cosmetic
Both the Peptide Serum and the Hair Oil are cosmetic products for external topical use. These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. These are cosmetic products intended to improve appearance. They are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, including androgenetic alopecia or any other medical hair-loss condition.
Our marketing language for these two products refers only to appearance — the look of more volume, fuller-looking hair, a fresh and comfortable scalp feel — not to guaranteed medical outcomes, and not to hair "growth" in a medical or physiological sense. Individual results vary from person to person.
For external topical use only. Avoid contact with the eyes. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Consult a healthcare professional before use if you are pregnant, nursing, have sensitive skin or scalp, or have a pre-existing medical condition. Keep out of reach of children.
Rootessa Hair, Skin & Nails Gummies Dietary supplement
The Hair, Skin & Nails Gummies are an ingested dietary supplement, not a topical cosmetic, and not a drug. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
The gummies provide biotin and B‑vitamins to support hair, zinc and collagen to support nail strength, and vitamin C to support skin — this is standard structure/function supplement language, not a claim that this product treats any medical condition.
Consult a healthcare professional before use if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have a pre-existing medical condition. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Keep out of reach of children.
Reviews & testimonials
Any reviews shown on our site aim to reflect the kind of experience our customers describe, but individual results vary from person to person and we do not guarantee that you will experience the same results. As of this update, we do not yet have verified customer testimonials in English for these products — we will not fabricate quotes, and we will only add real, verified testimonials as they become available.

Sources & science behind the ingredients
We are deliberately brief here: we would rather cite very little and have it be real than fill this section with studies we haven't verified ourselves.
-
sh-Polypeptide-9 and hair follicle vascularization (Rootessa Peptide Serum ingredient)
iris.unito.it/handle/2318/1530635
This source was provided by our manufacturer for this specific ingredient. Our automated tools could not independently verify it because the site blocks automated access — we recommend reviewing it yourself before treating it as conclusive. It is a study about the ingredient itself, not a clinical trial of Rootessa Peptide Serum as a finished product.
For Rootessa Hair Oil and Rootessa Hair, Skin & Nails Gummies, we do not currently have an independently verified scientific source to cite for their specific ingredients or formulations. Rather than invent one, we are saying so plainly. If a real, verifiable source becomes available, we will add it here.
About the FDA and cosmetics
The FDA does not approve or evaluate cosmetic products before they go on sale (unlike drugs), and does not issue endorsements of specific products. This applies to the Peptide Serum and the Hair Oil. You can read directly how the FDA regulates cosmetics on its official page: fda.gov/cosmetics.
About the FDA and dietary supplements
The FDA also does not approve dietary supplements, such as the Hair, Skin & Nails Gummies, before they are marketed. Manufacturers are responsible for ensuring their products are safe and that their labeling is truthful and not misleading. You can read directly how the FDA regulates dietary supplements on its official page: fda.gov/food/dietary-supplements.
