Abstract

An embodiment relates to a composition for preventing hair loss or promoting hair growth, comprising chia seed mucilage. It was confirmed that a chia seed mucilage polysaccharide gel and a chia seed-based microencapsulation cream comprising chia seed mucilage according to the present invention exhibit antibacterial effects against bacteria and fungi, and regulate the hair growth cycle by inhibiting apoptosis and enhancing metabolic substances, thereby promoting hair follicle neogenesis and hair growth. In addition, since the composition is a natural plant-derived material with no toxicity and can be produced at low cost, and has been confirmed to be a material having superior effects compared to existing hair loss treatments, it can be utilized for preventing and treating hair loss.
