Virobiome™ type 3–4 low-wash scalp microbiome interface platform

Overview

ViroBiome™ Type 3–4 Low-Wash Scalp Microbiome Interface Platform is an innovative solution tailored for individuals with protective hairstyles and extended wash intervals. This advanced platform is designed to maintain scalp health by providing a protective, leave-on interface that supports barrier comfort, hydration, and microbiome balance. It effectively combines a scalp-retentive biofilm resin layer, ViroBiome Cera rapeseed ceramide-like lipids, and a prebiotic oligosaccharide core. The optional addition of shea butter or moringa oil enhances film flexibility, comfort, and hair-fiber slip, making it ideal for low-wash routines.

Technical specifications

• Biofilm resin layer: Enhances scalp protection and retention.
• Ceramide-like lipids: Derived from rapeseed, these lipids support barrier function and hydration.
• Prebiotic core: Promotes beneficial microbiome activity.
• Optional micro-layer: Shea butter or moringa oil for added comfort and flexibility.
• Compatibility: Works with oils, butters, humectants, and polymers to provide long-lasting effects for up to 21 days.

Technology readiness level

Currently at TRL 4, the ViroBiome™ platform is validated through initial testing on human skin explants and is positioned for further development through sponsored research, co-development, and pilot trials. Future steps include microbiome profiling, sebum assessment, and efficacy validation over extended low-wash periods.
