Questions Answered

  • What do you feel makes the NOURISH+ Collection so different from all the other shampoos/conditioners out there now?
    This unique line includes both the natural ingredient aspect, combined with the scientific rigor and clinically proven results, so consumers get a natural product that actually works.
  • As a dermatologist, you are an expert in skin and scalp issues. How does that impact the health and beauty of hair?
    Well, healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp. Besides eating right, exercising, and keeping your body healthy, it’s important to use gentle hair care products that keep the scalp in top condition too. Unfortunately, many hair products are drying, which upset the natural alkalinity/acidity balance, and cause itchy, dry scalp. NOURISH+ shampoos and conditioners soothe the scalp even after the first wash. That’s unusual and impressive.
  • Does NOURISH+ have an effective solution for an itchy, dry scalp?
    Absolutely. Many of my patients have this problem, and they are now hooked on NOURISH+ because it really soothes, enhancing the condition of the scalp. What's more, it has wonderful fragrance — not a medicinal one — that is more like the scent and feel of a salon beauty product. My patients like that a lot.
