DHT-Defend Stack™ Explained: Saw Palmetto + Pumpkin + Rosemary + Caffeine for the Look of Density

DHT-Defend Stack™ Explained: Saw Palmetto + Pumpkin + Rosemary + Caffeine

For the look of density—without greasy buildup.

The quick take: Our leave-in tallow balm centers a DHT-minded stack—saw palmetto, pumpkin, rosemary, and caffeine—to support a comfortable scalp and the look of fuller edges and part lines. Use daily on clean, dry or slightly damp hair; a rice-grain is enough per target zone.

Q1: What does “DHT-minded” actually mean here?

We combine saw palmetto and pumpkin seed actives with rosemary and caffeine to create a routine that focuses on a healthy-looking scalp environment and a thicker-looking finish. It’s appearance care—not a drug—and it’s designed to be worn all day without a greasy film.

Q2: Why a leave-in balm instead of another serum?

Lipid-First Base

Tallow + castor + jojoba + batana condition both scalp and strands so the area looks smoother and less brittle.

Active Delivery

Leave-in wear time helps caffeine + rosemary do their invigorating thing (that “ahh” sensation) while conditioning keeps things comfy.

Low-Gloss Finish

Unlike heavy pomades, the finish is soft, not greasy—great for daily parts, edges, and beards.

Q3: Where should I use it for the biggest visual payoff?

  • Edges / temples: rice-grain amount; press into skin at the hairline, then smooth through baby hairs.
  • Part line: light finger swipe along the part; feather with comb.
  • Beards: melt a pea between palms; press from skin outward for groomed, flake-free calm.

Tip: Twice daily on clean skin shows the best “look of density.”

Safety & claims: appearance/feel language only. External use. Patch test if sensitive.
