SOOO Scalpture Sphere Ampoule 3000 is a premium, leave-on intensive scalp treatment that embodies the scalp-skinification trend. Powered by an innovative sphere-bead delivery technology that maximizes absorption, this advanced formula is clinically proven to reduce hair shedding and restore optimal scalp vitality.
Product Description (Function, Benefits, and Target Consumer)
A leave-on scalp treatment powered by a micro-spicule and sphere-bead delivery technology that maximizes absorption, to reduce hair shedding and restore scalp vitality. 3,079 ppm micro-spicules within 2 mm moisture capsules burst on contact to distribute ingredients to the scalp for immediate absorption, improving absorption depth and speed by 163.5%. Among the formula’s actives are biotin, Viola hamiltoniana, pea peptide, and thermal spring water. Together, the advanced delivery and ingredients result in visibly strengthened follicles, soothed redness, and hydration without stickiness. In clinical trials on 22 women over four weeks, the ampoule resulted in a 69.26% reduction in hair shedding and a 142.31% improvement in hydration. The formula is presented in a syringe-inspired airless piston mechanism, with a twist-lock dosing actuator. This vacuum-sealed architecture shields the ampoule from oxidation and leakage, while the fine nozzle allows for targeted application to the scalp.
Product Innovation
SOOO Scalpture Sphere Ampoule 3000 innovates scalp care through a synergy of delivery science, active ingredients, and functional packaging. The formula suspends 3,079 ppm micro-spicules in 2 mm moisture capsules that burst on contact to distribute ingredients evenly across the scalp for immediate absorption, clinically improving absorption depth and speed by 163.5%. This allows dual-patented Viola extract, patented pea peptides, and thermal spring water to nourish roots, reducing hair shedding by 69.3% in four weeks. Designed for leave-on care, its syringe-style twist-lock applicator delivers clean, direct application without stickiness or residue.

Human application studies were conducted by the Human Skin Clinical Test Center in South Korea, in compliance with Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines and Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) standards. Every participant completed the process under identical guidelines: applied an appropriate amount evenly to the scalp twice daily(morning and evening) for four weeks, alongside separate single-application protocols for immediate cooling and instrumental absorption testing.

Technology Features
Delivery System : The formulation utilizes a sophisticated system suspending sponge-derived micro-spicules within 2 mm visible moisture capsules. The protective capsule membrane safely stores the needle-like spicules to preserve active compounds perfectly while buffering skin friction. Upon application and gentle massage, the capsules rupture smoothly to deliver active nutrients and micro-spicules evenly and widely across the scalp surface, achieving deep penetration alongside mild, revitalizing stimulation.
Packaging Functionality & Materials : Built with a syringe-inspired airless piston mechanism, the primary container incorporates a twist-lock dosing actuator. This vacuum-sealed architecture shields the ampoule from atmospheric oxidation and leakage, while the fine nozzle enables pinpoint, mess-free application directly to targeted root zones without coating surrounding hair.
Design Uniqueness & Sensory Identity : Formulated without artificial colorants, the translucent violet serum derives its color purely from natural botanical pigments. The secondary packaging features an engineered blooming fold structure that gracefully unfolds upon opening, transforming the presentation into a delightful, special unboxing experience inspired by the signature Viola flower.
Sustainable Components : The secondary packaging is produced exclusively from responsibly sourced FSC-certified paperboard to minimize ecological footprint.
