1. The No Grow Guarantee
We are confident that No Grow produces results and therefore extend a continued sponsored product guarantee should you not see the ideal results after 8 months of continued use, based on the following requirements:
- Before and After pictures should be taken weekly and time-stamped to track progress
- Consecutive purchases and proof of receipt must be submitted on a claim (below is a guide to how many tubes will be required per body part)
- No Grow needs to be applied every week for 7 - 8 months, for the cycle of hair growth to be fully covered. For detailed information on the three stages in the hair growth cycle.


2. How Does No Grow Work?
No Grow Hair Removal System is a topically applied hair removal cream with a difference. No Grow is an easy to use wipe-on-wipe-off cream.
Unlike most hair removal creams which focuses on the temporary removal of surface hair, is absorbed into the hair follicle and reacts with the matrix bulb of the hair root – the place where hair growth starts – to neutralise the hair root and stop hair growth permanently, when the product is applied correctly, on a weekly basis until the hair growth cycle has been completed (between 7 – 8 months depending on the individual consumers genetics).
It destroys the hair follicle, thus stopping the follicle from producing further hairs. It creates the same results as laser hair removal but by a completely different scientific route.
Each product in the No Grow range is specifically formulated to target certain types of male and female facial and body hair and give you smooth, totally hairless skin.
NO GROW RECREATED THE CONDITIONS FOUND IN MALE PATTERN BALDNESS
Instead of damaging the hair root, like other hair removal systems gradually shrinks the root so it shrivels up and stops growing. The process is similar to male pattern baldness which leads to permanent hair removal. It is kind and gentle on the skin and reduces hair growth without damaging the surrounding tissue.
The nutrient engineering in No Grow is carried out by a new breakthrough active compound Isoquinolinium Bromide – which safely recreates the conditions found in the matrix bulb of the hair root at the onset of male pattern baldness. Growth of new hair is reduced every time you use the cream.
After using and completing your hair growth cycle of about 7 - 8 months, you will have treated all hairs in the growth cycle and you should notice a dramatic reduction in the density and thickness of hairs on your skin.
NO GROW WORKS IN CONJUNCTION WITH YOUR OWN HAIR GROWTH CYCLE
For No Grow cream to have a permanent effect it needs to be applied once a week for a period of 7 to 8 months. With every successive application of the cream less and less hair will grow back. Each time you use No Grow cream hair will become softer and less dense.
No Grow Hair Removal Cream targets its action at the Anagen Phase (active growth stage) in the life cycle of body hair growth. It causes the debilitation of the follicle by starving the hair root of nutrients necessary to sustain hair growth.
THER ARE THREE STAGES IN THE HAIR GROWTH CYCLE:
ANAGEN: Active phase of hair growth
CATAGEN: The transitional phase
TELOGEN: The resting phase

Treatment of the hair root with No Grow can only take place during the Anagen phase. Therefore, hair that is in the Catagen or Telogen Phase will not respond to treatment.
That’s why No Grow Hair Removal Cream must be applied at weekly intervals, once every week to ensure that all hair in all growth stages has been treated.
ACTIVE INGREDIENTS ARE PULLED INTO THE HAIR SHAFT, TO THE MATRIX BULB
To allow passage of the active ingredient Isoquinolinium Bromide to penetrate down to the matrix bulb of the hair root, No Grow dissolves hair below the surface of the skin and “pulls” the active ingredients down the hair shaft to the hair matrix bulb – the place where hair growth starts – and in this case – stops. Because of its low molecular weight, it is able to penetrate deep inside the hair shaft.
Every time you use the cream less and less hair will grow back un at the end of the cycle you should have achieved 99.5% hair reduction.
No Grow needs to be applied every week for 7 - 8 months, for the cycle of hair growth to be fully covered. The cream reacts with the root when in the Anagen phase of the growth cycle. Cell division is takes place during the growth cycle. The new cells propel the hair forward and make it grow longer; therefore the new hair is added at the root. By bio-engineering these cells, in the matrix bulb of the hair root, replicates the cell ac ty found at the onset of male pattern baldness. By introducing new genetic instructions to the matrix, the follicle is programmed to neutralize the hair root and stop further growth activity. This discovery, together with the unique transdermal delivery technique which enables No Grow Hair Remover to be efficiently delivered to the hair root.

4. The Application Of No Grow
TEST PATCH
- 24-hours prior to your full application, complete a test patch. Apply some of the product onto your skin near to where you plan to apply No Grow.
Your skin must be dry and clean.
APPLICATION
- Make sure that the area you are treating is clear of any surface oils, creams, lotion and serums to allow optimum penetration of the active ingredients.
- After No Grow has been applied and left for the desired time period, remove the product with either the scraper provided in the box or a soft dry cloth/towel. Wash with soap and water to neutralize and ensure all of the product is thoroughly removed from the skin.
- DO NOT to apply any creams, serums or lotions containing actives like Vitamin A and Vitamin C after application.
- If you feel the necessity to shave after application, we suggest that you apply the No Grow Product in the evening, and that you shave the next morning.
NEVER leave No Grow on your skin for longer than the recommended time. It only takes 5-minutes for the active ingredients to do their part, and travel to the root of the hair, via the hair shaft. Less is more, always respect your skin response.
5. The Ingredients In No Grow
THERE ARE NO ANIMAL OR HUMAN DERIVED INGREDIENTS IN NO GROWS
- Products are 100% vegan and vegetarian. They do not contain any animal by-products or ingredients

- No Grow ingredients have not been tested on animals and we are against all forms of animal testing
NO PARABENS
No Grow products do not contain parabens or formaldehyde-releasing preservatives such as dialyzed urea. Parabens are a type of preservative used in many main-stream skincare and cosmetics. In recent years they have come under scrutiny as they’re believed to be ‘carcinogenic’ (an ingredient linked with causing cancer).
HALAL APPROVED INGREDIENTS
No Grow products are free from harsh haram alcohols such as ethanol and denatured alcohol and do not contain any animal derived ingredients.
RESPONSIBLE INGREDIENT SOURCING
No Grow products are made with respect for Planet Earth. We source ingredients that are ethically harvested and that are sustainable. We always respect the ecosystem of local communities and help raise awareness about un-ethical ingredients found in cosmetic products.
NOT TESTED ON ANIMALS
No Grow ingredients have not been tested on animals and are free of all animal derived ingredients. Our company is strongly against all forms of animal testing and we insist on verifiable confirmation from our ingredient suppliers that this is the case.
100% VEGAN & VEGETARIAN
NO Grow products are 100% Vegan & Vegetarian, i.e. they do not contain any animal ingredients at all such as part of an animal like gelatin or animal fats, or derived from an animal such as honey, beeswax, lactic acid, etc. Neither do they contain any animal bi-products.
NO SYNTHETIC COLOURING
We do not use any artificial colouring or dyes in any NO Grow products. F D & C colours are derived from coal tar and are a derivative of petroleum. They are known to cause cancer No Grow products are free from harsh haram alcohols such as ethanol and denatured alcohol and do not contain any animal derived ingredients.

6. The Science Around No Grow
Growth Inhibitor ingredient, Lauryl Isoquinolinium Bromide, bio-engineers the matrix bulb to neutralize hair roots to stop hair growing.
It has taken researchers, years to develop the technology which enables No Grow to modify the growing behaviour of hair roots, resulting, for the first time, in a long-term termination of hair growth.
Through the hair growth cycle, hairs grow longer and new follicles develop at the root of the hair, due to cell division.
By bio-engineering the cells in the matrix bulb of the hair root to replicate the cell activity found at the onset of male pattern baldness, scientists have succeeded in halting hair growth.
By introducing new genetic instructions to the matrix, the follicle is programmed to eradicate (destroy) the hair root and stop further growth activity.
Through Nano-Enhanced Transportation Technology, No Grow is able to be delivered to the hair root and due to this unique process No Grow has changed the beauty industry.
NANO-ENHANCED TRANSPORTATION TECHNOLOGY
This technology is used to manipulate the molecular structure of the active ingredients, breaking it down so fine that it is able to penetrate into the desired area for a period of 8 hours with the aid of TLR (time controlled release).
THE MATRIX BULB OF THE HAIR ROOT IS THE PLACE WHERE HAIR GROWTH STARTS AND ENDS. NO GROW MODIFIES THE MATRIX TO STOP HAIR GROWTH
These hair growth cells from the matrix bulb of hair root are seen as spheres of cultured papillae cells from human hair follicles. When Lauryl Isoquinolinium Bromide is introduced, cell division is slowed down, shrinking and individually withering the root, until there is no more space for cell division i.e. no new hair follicle, similar to the effect of the onset of male pattern baldness.

No Grow replicates the effects of laser hair removal but it achieves its goals by a very different scientific method.
For the first-time researchers have been able to take human dermal papilla cells from inside the base of human hair follicles and recreate cell structure found in patients with male pattern baldness. Lauryl Isoquinolinium Bromide replicates these cells which stifles new hair growth.
The breakthrough came with the development of Lauryl Isoquinolinium Bromide compound which modifies the growing behaviour of hair roots, resulting, for the first time, in a long-term termination of hair growth.
For the first time a product is available which modifies the growth activity of the hair root, but without damaging the skin or causing pain to the patient.
No Grow was one of the first to develop ‘nutrient engineering’ techniques which restrict the flow of nutrients to the matrix hair bulb. This results in the miniaturization of the hair root and ultimately restricts the growth of new hair.

7. No Grow Study
OBSERVATIONAL STUDY OF NO GROW HAIR REMOVAL CREAM
METHOD
A total of 68 participants, 46 female and 22 males between the ages of 23 and 67 years, completed the study. Six participants did not complete the study for personal scheduling reasons. Participants were randomly split into two groups. Half were given No Grow and half were given placebo consisting of moisturizing creams. This was applied at weekly intervals for four weeks on the same day over a study period of 90 days.
RESULTS
Participants returned every week for measurement and evaluation. The following significant differences could be observed between No Grow treated areas and the placebo treated areas of the skin. An overall decrease in hair density on areas with No Grow of +/- 25% every week was measured using Cross-Section Trichometer over one scare centimeter of skin x 100 (mm2/cm2 x 100). Participants also noted a reduction in hair thickness during the study.
CONCLUSION
At the conclusion of the 30 day study an overall decrease in hair density on No Grow treated areas was +/- 93% measured using a Cross-Section Trichometer. No Grow has been shown to be a safe and effective method for progressively reducing hair root growth.

8. The Do's And Don'ts Of No Grow
- DO ensure that your skin is clean, dry and free from surface oil and creams, lotions or serums, before applying No Grow.
- DO a small test patch before applying No Grow if you have sensitive skin and check the results to see if there is any adverse reaction.
- DO apply a visible amount of No Grow on to the surface of the skin. Do not rub it in as if were a lotion.
- DO apply No Grow to skin which has short hair growth of 1mm to 2mm, this is so that the active ingredients can adhere to the hair shaft and neutralize the root. Shorten hair that is long to reduce wastage.
- DO wait for 7 days before your next application of No Grow. Hairs in the Anagen growth phase will continue to grow and so require further treatment.
- DO use No Grow on your private parts but ensure the cream does not come into contact with sensitive membrane areas.
- DON‘T shave, wax or remove hair (waxing removes the first layer of your skin, thus making the skin extra sensitive). Applying No Grow Remover after a wax could cause contact dermatitis or sensitive skin.
- DON‘T rub the cream into your skin. Spread evenly using your finger. The spatula provided in the box is ideal for removing the product after use.
- DON‘T touch your hair, lashes or eyebrows while you are using No Grow, as this could inhibit hair growth in other unwanted areas.
- DON‘T leave on your skin for more than 10 minutes on your face and 20 minutes on your body.
- DON‘T use Hair Free if you have a skin rash, or on irritated, sunburned, inflamed or broken skin.
