We are a major player and market leader in the consumer health & beauty industry, with a portfolio that spans multiple channels, demographics and categories.
Ingrown hairs are a common and frustrating issue, especially for individuals who frequently engage in hair removal practices such as shaving, waxing, or using depilatory creams. Ingrown hairs occur when hair grows back into the skin, causing inflammation, redness, and sometimes infection. Current solutions for treating ingrown hairs include topical treatments, exfoliation, and in some cases, medical interventions. However, these methods often require prolonged use, with many users experiencing significant discomfort and frustration due to lengthy treatment times.
As a leader in grooming and skincare with a global presence, we aim to discover faster-acting alternatives to current ingrown hair treatments, reducing discomfort and achieving visible results in a shorter time frame.
We are looking for innovative solutions that address ingrown hairs. The primary focus is on finding faster alternatives to current treatment methods. We are open to all application methods, including topical, oral, and other novel approaches. The ideal solution should offer quick and effective relief from the symptoms of ingrown hairs while also preventing their occurrence.
- Preventive solutions designed to prepare the skin and hair for removal, that would reduce the likelihood of hairs becoming ingrown.
- Active compounds that could alter the hair growth cycle or improve skin resilience to reduce ingrown hairs.
- New topical treatments and formulations, including enzyme-based creams and chemical exfoliating agents with anti-Inflammatory properties.
- Innovative application methods that improve current solutions, such as microneedling devices and patch systems.
- Oral supplements to strengthen hair follicles, support skin health and potentially reduce the occurrence of ingrown hairs.
- LED light therapy providing anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial benefits.
- Provide rapid relief from the symptoms of ingrown hairs, and/or prevent the occurrence of ingrown hairs with consistent use.
- The final solution must be safe for regular use and not cause skin irritation or other adverse effects.
- Solutions that provide lasting benefits beyond immediate relief.
- Formulations made with natural ingredients (clean label).
- Versatile solutions that can be applied in various forms (e.g., topical, oral, devices) to accommodate different user preferences and needs.
- Solutions requiring complex FDA approval processes beyond typical cosmetics.
