Our skin is a microbiome, covered in good and bad bacteria. The aim is for more of the good bacteria (probiotics) to balance the system and prevent issues. Our scalp is an extension of our skin, and so is a microbiome.
The microbiome can become unbalanced thanks to changes in the weather, hormones or diet, as well as using damaging ingredients on your hair or heat styling. When this occurs, you will notice issues like dandruff, irritation, breakage, hair loss, frizz and in some cases, eczema on the scalp.
No, the Biome Blends in Haircare by esmi are a lysate of a probiotic, sometimes known as a postbiotic. They were once probiotics but are now a collection of fragmented probiotics formulated into a solution to target specific hair concerns, but are still highly effective.
Esmi has a skin-first approach to all of our products, and the microbiome of the skin does not end at the hairline - the scalp is included. If the scalp microbiome is disrupted, issues such as hair breakage or dandruff can occur. esmi has developed concern-specific Biome Blends of probiotics to balance the scalp microbiome and treat the issue from the root.
Biome Blends are a collection of good bacteria that overpower bad bacteria or pathogens that cause common concerns on the hair and scalp, treating the issue on a microbiome level.
The skin does not stop at the hairline, but includes the scalp as well. Ensuring the scalp is healthy with skincare ingredients means there is less likelihood of issues such as a dry scalp, oiliness or weak roots. Plus, skin, hair and nails are made from the same base material, keratinocytes.
You can absolutely use Haircare by esmi on your children’s hair as the formulations are clean and gentle, while giving long-lasting results.
Haircare by esmi uses scalp-health focused formulations. Our unique Biome Blends specially target hair concerns by supporting the scalp microbiome naturally without any harsh ingredients.
You definitely can! Our formulations are naturally gentle with no ingredients that will strip colour. In fact, the nourishing ingredients strengthen coloured and bleached hair.
Our formulations are sulphate-free, which means they won’t lather like the haircare products you might be used to. Don’t worry though, this doesn’t mean they aren’t working, it is just thanks to our clean ingredients.
This depends on your lifestyle and hair type, however, as a general rule we recommend washing your hair 2-3 times a week. Unless your hair particularly needs it, we don’t suggest washing your hair every day.
When you wash your hair, we recommend shampooing twice, the first time being to rid the scalp of product, sweat and dead skin, the second time being to actually cleanse the scalp and hair.
You sure can! If you have a couple of hair concerns you can mix shampoo and conditioner formulations. If you are mixing, we recommend the conditioner being the more hydrating and nourishing formula for best results.
