Meet Karl Lintner, PhD

Dr Lintner is a world leading expert in the development of modern cosmetic formulas for hair, body and skin care.

As a member of Lexington’s Scientific Advisory Board, Dr. Lintner will help to elucidate the mechanism of action and understanding of biochemistry and photo-reactive compounds in relation to hair growth. His expert guidance will also aide in the development of other advanced hair care products for the HairMax product line.

Dr. Lintner earned his PhD degree in biochemistry from Vienna University in Austria. He spent over ten years researching biological peptides at the Nuclear Research Center in France where he published over 30 papers in biochemistry and biophysics. He also spent ten years as Managing Director (CEO) of SEDERMA, a company that was involved in the development of innovative active cosmetic ingredients. He is also listed as the inventor on several dozen patents and has published numerous articles and books on cosmetic ingredients.
