Patented Science
Dermatologist-Developed & Clinically-Proven
What started as a path to better understand hair loss & excessive hair shedding in women led to a breakthrough solution for stronger, fuller, more beautiful hair.
The Objective
CONTROL HAIR SHEDDING
A team of world-renowned dermatologists & scientists set out to better understand the prevalence of hair shedding in women and what mechanisms could be engaged to help control it.
The Patent
BREAKTHROUGH DISCOVERY
A closer look at the science of goosebumps led to a deeper understanding of how to strengthen, secure & protect hair at the root. Five years later - supported by three, scientifically-proven clinical studies & granted a US patent - the first & only cosmetic formula to reduce hair shedding was born.
