Use of a composition comprising a non-fermented rice peptidic hydrolyzate for stimulating hair growth

A non-therapeutic method to slow down hair loss and stimulate hair growth, the method comprising:

• Providing a composition comprising at least one non-fermented rice peptidic hydrolyzate coming from the hydrolysis of rice grain proteins from the Oryza sativa L rice species, as an active agent, wherein at least 70% of the peptidic nature compounds present in the hydrolyzate are peptides with a size of less than 6 kDa;
• and
• applying the composition to a portion of the anatomy having hair follicles;
• where the non-fermented rice peptidic hydrolyzate results in an increase in β-cantenin labelling of the hair follicles thereby indicating an increase in the differentiation and growth of the hair follicles.
