When we embarked on our journey to better scalp health, we knew that understanding how our products interact with your skin was crucial. That’s why we conducted a rigorous Repeat Open Application Test (ROAT) study, designed to measure irritation levels on the scalp, a sensitive area often overlooked in skincare science.
Why We Did It
Our goal was simple: create products that not only promote healthy hair but protect your scalp without causing redness, swelling, or discomfort. By using the Mean Cumulative Irritation Index (M.C.I.I.) as our benchmark, we could quantitatively assess how gentle our formulations really are.
Understanding the Irritation Index Scale
Think of the M.C.I.I. as a scorecard for scalp comfort. It ranges from 0 to a higher number where 0 means absolutely no irritation — no redness, no swelling, no skin changes — while higher values indicate increasing irritation levels. Getting a perfect 0.00 is like earning a flawless report card for scalp health.
The Experience & Methodology
Our study spanned three weeks with a dedicated panel of volunteers who daily applied our product to their scalp. We closely monitored their skin, documenting any changes using standardized dermatological assessments. The ROAT method is considered the gold standard because it reveals cumulative effects over time, simulating real-life product use.
Duration and Process
From initial application to the final check, 21 days felt like a month-long window into how our products could truly harmonize with sensitive skin. Each step was carefully supervised, ensuring safety and accuracy.
Breaking Down the Outcome
What left us all thrilled was the final M.C.I.I. score — a perfect 0.00 across every participant. This means no one experienced any redness, swelling, or skin reactions throughout the entire study duration. Such results are rare and a testament to the gentle, thoughtfully-crafted formulation.
Why This Matters to You
For you, it’s peace of mind. Using a scalp product that scores 0.00 on irritation means comfort, confidence, and a healthier scalp environment. No itching, no discomfort — just a balanced foundation for your hair to thrive.
This achievement wasn’t just a number; it was a story of science meeting care, proving that effective scalp care doesn't have to come at the cost of irritation. It’s about creating products that understand and respect your skin, every day.
