Before Gill Chong became the founder behind ALCHEMYST, his journey started humbly in the salon — as a shampoo boy.
It was during those early years that one moment stayed with him. Gill remembers seeing a young girl struggling with her hair and scalp concerns. At that time, he was still young in the industry, but the emotional impact of that moment never left him.
To many people, hair may look like beauty from the outside. But inside the salon, Gill saw something deeper. Hair affects confidence. It affects identity. It affects how people see themselves and how they face the world.
That early experience became one of the quiet reasons behind his lifelong focus on haircut and scalp care.
Over the next 30 years, Gill worked with countless clients facing thinning hair, weak roots, chemical damage, postpartum shedding, sensitive scalp concerns, and loss of confidence.
Through these years, he noticed one pattern again and again: many people were focusing only on the hair strand, while ignoring the foundation beneath it — the scalp.
This belief became the foundation of ALCHEMYST.
Today, Gill Chong is the founder of ALCHEMYST, a Singapore-created scalp care brand built around one clear philosophy:
Volume begins at the scalp.
For Gill, ALCHEMYST was not created simply to follow a beauty trend. It was created because he felt there was a gap in the market for a premium scalp-first product that supports scalp care, hair volume appearance, and modern hair wellness in a non-drug cosmetic format.
After decades in the salon industry, Gill saw many consumers looking for scalp care options, but not everyone wanted to rely on drug-based hair products. He wanted to create something different — a leave-in cosmetic scalp elixir designed for people who want to support their scalp foundation, stronger-looking roots, and fuller-looking hair appearance.
ALCHEMYST Scalp Collagen & Hair Volumising Elixir is positioned as a non-drug cosmetic scalp elixir.
It is formulated without Minoxidil, Finasteride, alcohol, pork-derived ingredients, or toxic substances.
For Gill, this was an important part of the brand's direction. He wanted ALCHEMYST to speak to consumers who are looking for a modern scalp-first cosmetic alternative for their hair wellness routine — one that focuses on scalp care, comfort, hydration, and fuller-looking hair appearance without drug-based ingredients.
The product is made in Singapore and manufactured under GMP-certified standards, HSA-Notified Cosmetic Products, reflecting the brand's commitment to quality, safety, and consistency.
"From the time I started as a shampoo boy, I saw how deeply hair can affect a person's confidence," says Gill Chong. "After more than 30 years in this industry, I realised many people are treating the hair but forgetting the foundation beneath it. ALCHEMYST was created with one belief: fuller-looking hair starts with a healthier scalp environment."
Through ALCHEMYST, Gill aims to build not only a product brand, but also a scalp education movement — helping consumers, salons, and beauty professionals shift the conversation from "hair only" to "scalp first."
