Apex Commerce Inc. (Headquarters: Toyama City, Toyama Prefecture, Representative Director: Masako Moshizumi), which operates the skincare brand "SNOW FOX SKINCARE," popular among sensitive skin users worldwide, is pleased to announce that the technology incorporated in its highly acclaimed "Premium FOX Gua Sha Far-Infrared Mini Hair Brush" (18,480 yen) has been officially registered as a patent (Patent No. 7850504).

Why is "Scalp Warming Therapy" Necessary Now? (Development Background and Problems Solved)

Gently Warms the Scalp

"Increased hair loss," "lack of hair volume (flat hair)," and "severe morning frizz and dryness" are concerns that begin to trouble many individuals after the age of 30. Additionally, there is "stiff scalp" caused by prolonged PC and smartphone use.

One of the root causes of these issues is poor blood circulation and "coldness" in the scalp.

SNOW FOX SKINCARE focused on this scalp coldness. They developed a solution that fundamentally warms the scalp environment and improves circulation through the daily action of "brushing," without using any electricity or chemicals.

The Core of the Patented Technology: Synergistic Effect of +1.0°C Generated by "Radiation" and "Conduction"

Previous general infrared brushes or gold-plated brushes were limited to antibacterial purposes or very minimal infrared radiation.

This product achieves a clear warming effect by fusing two materials at their contact points:

[Heat Generation and Retention] Rubber (bristle base) densely kneaded with "ceramics" that emit far-infrared rays in the wavelength range of 4μm to 20μm.

[High-Speed Conduction] "99.9%+ pure 24K gold-plated pins" with extremely high thermal conductivity, instantly delivering the warmth generated in the bristle base directly to the scalp.

In domestic comparative tests (*1) using this combination, it was demonstrated that the scalp surface temperature increased by a maximum of +1.0°C (average +0.6°C) after 50 brushing strokes. Consequently, its remarkable effectiveness and unique structure have now been recognized with a patent (Patent No. 7850504).

Patented Hybrid Structure

Three Benefits Achieved by the 'Premium FOX Gua Sha Far-Infrared Mini Hair Brush'

Supports Hair and Scalp Concerns

① [Time-Saving & Immediate Effect] Thoroughly Suppresses Static Electricity, Leading to Salon-Quality "Shiny Hair" in 1 Minute Even on Busy Mornings

The combination of 24K gold pins and natural wood (walnut) thoroughly suppresses unpleasant static electricity caused by dryness and friction. Even on busy mornings, a quick brush smooths the cuticles, instantly leading to shiny, easy-to-manage hair.

② [Fundamental Care] +1°C Warming Therapy for Scalp Care from the Roots, Addressing "Flat Hair" Due to Hair Loss and Aging

The warming effect from the patented technology and the negative ions generated during brushing promote blood circulation. Improved scalp circulation helps prevent excessive hair loss associated with postpartum or aging, supporting the growth of healthy hair that stands up from the roots.

③ [Relaxation & Fatigue Recovery] Ultimate Gua Sha Experience to Soothe "Stiff Scalp" from PC/Smartphone Fatigue

The gua sha-style pins, handcrafted by traditional Taiwanese artisans, comfortably stimulate the scalp's fascia and acupoints, which become stiff from teeth grinding and eye strain. This helps alleviate headaches and anxiety, providing deep relaxation.

[New Proposal] Synergy with Hair Serum Turns Your Home into a Luxurious Head Spa

A gently warmed scalp due to the +1.0°C warming effect is the perfect time for beauty ingredients to penetrate. By using the popular "Vegan Non-Silicone Hair & Scalp Serum," formulated with ingredients like ginseng and peptides, the serum's nutrients can deeply reach the stratum corneum of the scalp. This dramatically enhances the approach to hair loss, dryness, and dandruff, allowing you to experience tangible changes in hair quality more quickly.
