Have you considered taking into account the customer's skin bacterial composition? Or making a shampoo that is bacterial friendly?

  That's a great question-- the scalp and hair roots are arguably the most important aspects to consider when developing formulations. We don't currently take that into account but we should try to find an easy way to work with customers on that!

    Yep, I do some metagenomics in an autoimmunity lab in Cambridge and this should be quite easy to address with a small and cheap trial. I'd definitely buy a bacteria-friendly shampoo. Ping me if you need some help.

      Hey nextos, I am interested in beginning a project in a related area and would really love to ask you some questions that few but a metagenomics researcher could answer. Could you send me an email at okolobeta@gmail.com if you're willing? (Or provide your contact info?) Thanks so much!

        Emailed you. Contact info is on my profile nonetheless. Happy to help.

  There are natural ingredients that help with bacteria on scalp which usually causes odor and dandruff, but we haven't included them (yet) since they are considered an OTC drug. We have included essential oils in our formulas that may help, but the claims are not allowed to be made according to the FDA.
