Hair products without hormones
Ayurvedic care without hormonal additives,
without peptides, without endocrine disruptors.
Consciously formulated for women, men, and children — also for pregnancy, breastfeeding, and hormone-sensitive life stages like menopause or puberty. Experience since 2010, manufactured in Switzerland.
What are endocrine disruptors?
Endocrine disruptors are chemical substances that can affect the body's hormonal system — either because they resemble endogenous hormones and bind to their receptors, or because they disrupt the formation, processing, or breakdown of natural hormones. The European Union maintains a growing list of such substances and has tightened regulatory requirements for their use in consumer products in recent years.
In cosmetic products — especially in eyelash serums, anti-aging creams, and some hair care formulations — substances that are considered endocrine disruptors are sometimes used. These include certain prostaglandin analogs (such as bimatoprost or isopropyl cloprostenate), which can accelerate eyelash and hair growth by triggering hormone-like processes at the hair root. Various parabens, phenoxyethanol, or individual UV filters are also being scientifically investigated in this context.
The scientific discussion is not yet concluded — but federal institutes for risk assessment (BfR in Germany, BLV in Switzerland) increasingly recommend that consumers, especially sensitive groups like pregnant or breastfeeding women or children, avoid products with potential endocrine disruptors. What was barely discussed ten years ago is now part of an informed purchasing decision.
Why consciously hormone-free?
Hormones control countless processes in our bodies — from growth and metabolism to mood and reproduction. The hormonal system is finely balanced and reacts sensitively to external interventions, even if they are only intended to act locally on the skin or scalp. Substances that penetrate the skin and trigger hormone-like effects there can theoretically also act throughout the bloodstream.
For many people, this is reason enough to consciously avoid hormonal additives in their daily care. This is particularly relevant for:
Hormone balance fluctuates greatly anyway — midwives and oncologists advise against hormonal active ingredients during this time.
Changed hormone balance, often with thinning hair — gentle, plant-based alternatives are sought after.
The endocrine system is developing and reacts particularly sensitively to interventions.
Thyroid, PCOS, endometriosis — many sufferers consistently avoid additional hormone exposure.
Oncologists often recommend broadly reducing hormonally active substances in everyday life.
Those seeking a plant-based alternative to Minoxidil or Finasteride will find a conscious option here.
Hormone-free care does not mean sacrificing effectiveness. It means that the effect is achieved through other mechanisms: through gentle scalp care, targeted nutrient supply to the hair root, and natural plant stimulation — an approach based on millennia-old Ayurvedic knowledge.
Our Ayurvedic answer
Since 2010, YELASAI has been developing care products based on the millennia-old tradition of Ayurveda — a healing art that views the body as a holistic system and achieves its effects through natural plant substances, not through synthetic hormones or pharmacologically active substances.
Our formulations contain fermented Ayurvedic herbal extracts, high-quality plant-based carrier oils from controlled origins, and minerals to support a vital scalp. These ingredients work through proven traditional methods: they care for the scalp, supply nutrients to the hair root, and create the basis for healthy hair.
What you won't find in YELASAI products: hormones, hormone-like peptides, prostaglandin analogs, nanoparticles, petroleum derivatives, silicones, harsh sulfates (SLS/SLES), or synthetic fragrances, colorants, and preservatives. This conscious selection makes our products the right choice for anyone who wants their skin and hair care without compromising on ingredients.
All YELASAI products are made in Switzerland and are formulated to be dermatologically compatible — also for sensitive scalps, sensitive skin types, and during hormone-sensitive life stages.

Frequently asked questions
Are all YELASAI products really hormone-free?
Yes, without exception. This applies to shampoos, conditioners, tonics, sprays, oils, the lash serum and all care sets. You don't have to check every label — our conscious ingredient policy is consistent across the entire range.
What exactly are endocrine disruptors?
Endocrine disruptors are chemical substances that can affect the body's endocrine system — either by mimicking hormones or by disrupting their natural processes. In cosmetics, substances such as prostaglandin analogues (in some lash serums) or certain parabens are discussed in this context.
Do hormone-free products even work for hair loss?
Yes — just through different mechanisms. Plant-based formulas like our Hair Active Tonic supply the scalp and hair roots with nutrients and minerals. The effect builds up over weeks to months and is long-lasting. For best results, we recommend 3–6 months of consistent use.
Are the products suitable for pregnant women and children?
Our products are formulated without hormones, peptides or pharmacological agents and are generally suitable for use during pregnancy, breastfeeding and for children. For specific concerns or health worries, we recommend consulting your midwife, doctor or one of our certified hair growth specialists.
How does YELASAI differ from Minoxidil or Finasteride?
Minoxidil and Finasteride are medicines with pharmacological effects — they interfere with bodily processes and can have side effects. YELASAI is cosmetic care with plant-based ingredients. We do not make promises of cure, but support the natural health of the scalp and hair.
