The Basis of 8T3

One active ingredient. Many effects.

Every active ingredient tells its own story – from its origins and development to its effects. On this page, you can find out what makes 8T3 so special and how this innovative active ingredient unleashes its power exactly where hair loss begins – at the root.

What makes 8T3 special

An innovation inspired by wound healing.

The origins of 8T3 lie in wound healing research. The protein CD83 plays a central role in this field in its soluble form (sCD83): it regulates inflammatory processes and supports natural tissue regeneration. Mallia has further developed this biological mechanism and created its own cruelty-free form: MAL-838. This molecule enables targeted application to the hair root – without hormone-related side effects and without skin irritation. The result: an active principle that activates regeneration and supports sustainable hair growth.

What sets 8T3 apart:

  • Regenerative instead of irritating: Supports the body's own processes – without affecting hormone balance.
  • Without transition loss: Well tolerated, as it is produced naturally by the body and is microbiome-friendly for a long-lasting effect.
  • Suitable for men and women: Especially for androgenetic hair loss or thinning hair.

The path to sustainable hair regerenation

Systematic impact.

Reduction of inflammation in the scalp
sCD83 restores the so-called immune privilege of hair follicles by specifically resolving inflammation associated with alopecia.
Improvement of the cellular environment
sCD83 inhibits programmed cell death (apoptosis) of the hair follicles and creates a regeneration-friendly environment at the hair root.
Extension of the anagen growth phase
sCD83 activates hair follicular stem cells, thereby specifically prolonging the anagen phase – for greater density and visibly longer growth cycles.
Activation of the keratin production
The targeted induction of keratins – the central building blocks of hair – provides lasting support for structure formation.
Wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse

Neue Perspektiven aus Forschung und Labor.

Aktuelle Studien zeigen, dass 8T3 deutlich mehr bewirken kann als herkömmliche Pflege. In präklinischen Untersuchungen überzeugte die innovative Wirkformel sowohl im Labor als auch in praxisnahen Modellen:

  • In-vitro: Haarfollikel verbleiben nachweislich länger in der Anagenphase – der entscheidenden Wachstumsphase des Haars.
  • In-vivo: Beschleunigte Wundheilung und sichtbare Haarregeneration belegen die vielfältigen regenerativen Effekte von 8T3.

8T3 in Comparison

Unlike minoxidil and finasteride.

Unlike well-known active ingredients, 8T3 takes a regenerative approach – without hormonal side effects and without systemic stress. While conventional remedies usually aim to maintain hair status, 8T3 specifically promotes new hair growth.

Additional benefits:

  • Easy to use, no daily hassle
  • Microbiome-friendly, hormone-free, no preservatives or fragrances – also suitable for sensitive scalps
  • No initial deterioration (“shedding”) – directly supports regeneration without a transition phase

MAL-838 is the form of the immunoregulatory molecule sCD83 (soluble CD83) developed by 8T3. It has been optimized for safe, topical use in hair and eyelash serums – with the aim of activating regeneration without causing irritation.

sCD83 is a naturally occurring protein that has anti-inflammatory effects and supports regenerative processes in tissue. In hair follicles, it can extend the growth phase and reactivate dormant cells – in a gentle, natural way.

Unlike Minoxidil or hormonal substances, 8T3 relies on immunological regeneration rather than stimulation. It works deep within the follicular environment, is gentle, and designed for long-term use.
