Company
Nioxin was founded by Eva Graham, who experienced hair loss after giving birth and decided to create her own products using natural ingredients and scientific research. Inspired by her personal journey, she launched Nioxin Research Laboratories in 1987, with the vision of helping people feel good about themselves and their hair. As a result of her innovation, Nioxin was the first salon brand to offer products that address the three signs of hair thinning: derma, density, and diameter. In addition to its products, Nioxin provides education and training for salon professionals, helping them identify and treat their clients’ hair and scalp needs. Throughout the years, Nioxin has expanded its product range and global presence, winning numerous awards and recognition for its innovation and effectiveness. Ultimately, Nioxin is not just a brand, it is a philosophy of healthy hair and scalp.
Nioxin Vision
“Helping people feel good about themselves and their hair,” encapsulates its philosophy centered on promoting healthy hair and scalp. This ethos serves as the cornerstone for the development of its products and services.
Nioxin Philosophy and Science
Nioxin believes that the scalp is the foundation for healthy hair growth, and that by treating the scalp as an extension of the skin, it can provide effective thinning hair and scalp solutions. To achieve this, Nioxin uses advanced skin care technology and ingredients that cleanse, restore and activate the scalp and hair, improving their condition and appearance. Moreover, Nioxin products contain three key technologies that deliver specific benefits to the scalp and hair. First, ProThick Technology thickens each hair strand and creates space between them, giving the illusion of fuller hair. Second, Transactive Delivery System 2.0 removes follicle-clogging sebum, fatty acids and environmental residues from the scalp, while providing moisture balance and color protection. Third, Scalp Access Delivery System 2.0 protects the scalp from sun damage and environmental stress, while enhancing the delivery of Nioxin’s active ingredients.
