The Story Behind Germany’s #1 Women’s Caffeine Shampoo: Plantur 39

It all started in 2005
Caffeine shampoo for over 40
Plantur 39 is the Dr. Wolff Group’s first line of products tailored to the cosmetic needs of women with thinning hair. Developed by German scientist Dr. Adolf Klenk, the product range includes caffeine shampoo, conditioner, and tonic. It is the counterpart to Alpecin, Dr. Wolff’s line of hair products for men.
Sold in 62 countries around the world, Plantur 39 continues to improve the lives of women over 40.
