Are Adegen products vegan, cruelty-free, or safe for my situation?Updated 3 hours ago
Quick answer
ARB™ Shampoo+ is not tested on animals, and its full ingredient list is published on the product page. Our topicals are prescription-compounded, so the actives vary slightly by variant. Full ingredient details are on each product page and on your prescription paperwork. For specific concerns like banned substances for athletes, allergens, or dietary restrictions, message support with the exact question and we'll provide documentation, and loop in your provider for anything clinical.
ARB™ Shampoo+ Ingredients
The full INCI list is published on the ARB™ Shampoo+ product page. Key ingredients include the ARB™ proprietary linoleic-oleic fatty-acid complex, caffeine, panthenol, niacinamide, zinc PCA, menthol, tea tree and eucalyptus oils, and hydrolyzed wheat protein.
- Cruelty-free: ARB™ Shampoo+ is not tested on animals.
- Wheat note: it contains hydrolyzed wheat protein, so flag a wheat or gluten sensitivity to us before use.
Topical Ingredients
The ARB™ Topicals are prescription-compounded and share a common base: the ARB™ complex, minoxidil, tretinoin, caffeine, and a supporting blend (adenosine, niacinamide, biotin). The F and D variants add a prescription DHT-blocker (finasteride or dutasteride). Because these are prescription formulations, the precise composition for your variant is on your prescription paperwork and the product page.
Vegan / Dietary Questions
Ingredient sourcing can vary by component, and the topicals are prescription compounds, so we don't make a blanket "vegan" claim across the whole lineup. If you have a specific dietary or sourcing question, message support with the exact ingredient you're asking about and we'll get you a precise answer.
Athletes and Banned-Substance Questions
If you're subject to drug testing or a sport or competition substance policy, this matters: the F and D variants contain finasteride or dutasteride, and some oral add-ons contain prescription actives, which can be relevant under certain anti-doping and competition rules. Don't rely on a general answer. Message support with your specific organization's rules, or check with your governing body, and talk to your Adegen provider before starting.
Allergies and Sensitivities
If you have a known allergy or a history of reactions, tell your Adegen provider during intake and message support with the specific allergen so we can check it against the formulation. For the shampoo, note the wheat protein above.
