Maintain your scalp biome with this gentleĀ shampoo.Ā
This product has been screened and tested using our biome-friendly platform for compatibility with the skin's natural biome and the AO+ Mist
Users across all hair types notice their hair looks shinier, fuller, healthier, and feels softer and stronger.
62% of users are able to wash their hair less often, especially when paired with the AO+ MistThe Living Ecosystem We Evolved To Keep Us Healthy:
Invisible to the naked eye, our bodies play host to trillions of microorganisms. Just like our gut relies on good bacteria and probiotics, our skin relies on good bacteria to help us be healthy as well. This elaborate ecosystem is called the skin biome.
The interactions between the biome and our skin were defined millions of years ago so that everyone wins. Beneficial bacteria and other microorganisms have a home and steady energy supply, and in turn, our skin enjoys healthful benefits.
Our skin biome is nurtured from the moment we're born, passed down to us from our mothers, and is constantly evolving throughout our lives by our environment, interaction with nature, and lifestyle.
Today, our skin biome faces many challenges. Our obsession with cleanliness & sterility have created a difficult environment for many beneficial organisms to survive. Furthermore, because our biomes are shaped by our natural environment, urban living has made it difficult for us to re-establish or maintain beneficial bacteria that weād be regularly exposed to in nature.
These modern chemistry and lifestyle shifts have undermined this ecosystem, making it less diverse and leaving us more susceptible to many challenges including sensitivity, irritation and other skin problems.
To reverse this, we need to embrace the skin for the living ecosystem it is and help it reconnect with the balanced state that it once had. This is why it's our mission to create products that enhance and protect the skin biome. We believe restoring and maintaining beneficial bacteria is the answer to healthy skin and a great first step to a healthier lifestyle.
How it Works
AOB is short for Ammonia-Oxidizing Bacteria, and they're found everywhere there is life: lakes, rivers, soil, and (formerly) on our skin.
THEY USED TO BE PART OF US: Ā Historically, AOB would have populated our skin microbiome naturally, acting as peacekeepers for the microbial community, but widespread use of soaps, deodorants, and other personal care products wiped them out.ĀQ. When do the products expire?
Unlike most other products in your bathroom, you'll notice all of our products have an expiration date. That's because these products are unpreserved. Preservatives can prevent bacterial growth, so they are not compatible with the Ammonia-Oxidizing Bacteria in the Mist.Ā
The Mist will keep its potency for 6 months in the fridge (opened or unopened) or 4 weeks at room temperatureĀ (opened or unopened).
By refrigerating, you extend the life of the bacteria, but if you are moving the bottle in and out of the fridge, it's hard to say how long they will retain activityāsomewhere between 4-8 weeks and the expiration date marked on the bottle. Taking the Mist out of the fridge for 24 hours once in a while, and then putting it back, shouldn't make much difference to its shelf-life.
The Cleanser does not contain live bacteria, and is completely sterile until your first pump. Once you begin using your Cleanser, it will last for 8 weeks.Ā
The Shampoo and Moisturizer do not contain live bacteria, and are completely sterile until your first pump. Once you begin using your Shampoo or Moisturizer, they will last 6 months from the first pump.
Usage
Use like you would any other shampoo. Squeeze a small amount into wet hands and work into a lather. Massage into the hair starting at the roots. Rinse thoroughly, no need to repeat!
