About our products and their claims
Rootessa sells three products, all of them cosmetic products for external use: two scalp serums and a face serum. Please read the section that applies to the product you're interested in.
Rootessa Peptide Serum & Rootessa Botanical Serum Topical cosmetic
Both the Peptide Serum and the Botanical Serum are cosmetic products for external topical use. 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 hydrated and healthy-looking scalp), not to guaranteed medical outcomes, and not to any medical or physiological change in the hair or scalp. 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 Hyaluronic Serum Topical cosmetic
The Hyaluronic Serum is a cosmetic face serum for external topical use. It is a cosmetic product intended to improve appearance. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
Our marketing language for this product refers only to appearance and feel (skin that feels hydrated and looks smoother), not to guaranteed results, and not to any medical or physiological change in the skin. Individual results vary from person to person.
For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. In case of irritation, discontinue use. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place.
Liability & age restriction
Rootessa products are intended for adults 18 years of age or older. Do not use our serums on broken, irritated, or sunburned skin. Individual results and reactions vary. Rootessa is not liable for any individual reaction, sensitivity, or outcome resulting from the use of our products. If you have androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern hair loss) or any other diagnosed medical condition, please consult your dermatologist or physician before use.

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.
-
Research on sh-Polypeptide-9 (Rootessa Peptide Serum ingredient)
iris.unito.it/handle/2318/1530635
This source was provided by our manufacturer for this specific ingredient. This study is about the ingredient itself, not a clinical trial of Rootessa Peptide Serum as a finished product.
For Rootessa Botanical Serum and Rootessa Hyaluronic Serum, 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 all three Rootessa serums. You can read directly how the FDA regulates cosmetics on its official page: fda.gov/cosmetics.
