Hair Therapé FAQs

Organix-South announces the launch of TheraNeem Organix Hair Therapé Line., an innovative hair care line that offers intensely therapeutic hair and scalp benefits. Neem... the solution for healthy hair and scalps!

Q: What are some of the beneficial constituents found in Neem that support healthy hair, scalp and skin?
Around 180 chemical compounds have been isolated from Neem bark, leaf and oil. Neem contains potent antioxidants that help protect the body from oxidative damage caused by the environmental toxins and stress. Neem contains 1000 parts per million (ppm) quercetin, among the highest concentration found in plants tested for the phytochemical and ethnobotanical databases developed by Dr. James Duke. Quercetin is well known for its actions as an antioxidant and for supporting the body’s ability to respond to inflammation. Neem leaf, bark and oil contain powerful antioxidants including carotenes, ascorbic acid, terpenoids, limonoids and flavonoids [1]. Additionally, b-Carotene and vitamin C present in neem leaf play an important role in its radical scavenging properties. Nimbin and nimbidin have antiviral and antifungal properties. Gedumin in Neem leaf is noted for its antifungal actions.

Q: In a plain language, what will Neem leaf and oil do for me?
A: Neem is: cooling, soothing and astringent. Cooling - it helps to cool and calm the skin, scalp, gums or wherever it is applied. Soothing - it has been used for thousands of years to support healthy skin and is traditionally used to help normalize irritated, rough or exceptionally dry skin. Astringent - this means it helps to tighten tissue, helping to normalize, balance and promote youthful and healthy skin and scalp.

Q: Are the ingredients in your original formula still the same?
A: Yes, the Original Formula (now called Gentle Therapé) has been such a success for our company, with hundreds of testimonials, many requesting that we ‘never change our formula.’ We have listened to our loyal customers and have not changed the formula. This formula is still perfect for all hair types and sensitive scalps.

Q: Why did you formulate each of the new hair therapé products?
A: I wanted to create the most therapeutic hair and scalp care line available today. So many people are challenged by sensitive or difficult hair and scalp issues. They need a product that is specific to their hair type as well as beneficial to their scalp. Our new TheraNeem Organix Hair Therapé line is hair type specific and all of our formulas are created to greatly benefit the hair and scalp with concentrated Neem oil and Neem leaf along with organic herbal extracts and essential oils. No other hair care line offers as much Neem power!

Q: What does it mean to offer highly concentrated Neem and organic herbal extracts?
A: Some common brands of shampoos and conditioners only use a very low concentration of herbal extracts, if any at all, in their hair care. TheraNeem Organix offers 45-48% organic herbal extracts with Neem oil and Neem leaf in every formula.

Q: What are the primary advantages of the new Hair Therapé line?
A: It is made with high concentrations organic ingredients.
The ingredients comply with the Whole Foods Premium Bodycare Standard.

• Safe for Color-Treated Hair
• Paraben Free/Sulfate Free
• All formulas Gluten-Free
• pH Balanced
• Vegan
• Neem is a potent antioxidant to better protect your scalp.

Q: What is the main difference for TheraNeem Organix Hair Therapé compared to other hair care products?
A: I formulated the hair care line to offer highly concentrated, therapeutic and organic ingredients. All of the Hair Therapé products are created for sensitive and/or challenged scalps. Each of the herbs, essential oils and other ingredients were selected to be highly effective for specific hair types.

Q: Why are your shampoos thinner than most?
A: All of our shampoos are thinner so that the intensely therapeutic ingredients can better penetrate the hair and scalp and provide nourishing benefits Other shampoos use added salt -- which can be drying -- or waxy emulsifiers that weigh down hair to thicken their products. You will still have a luxurious lather, but your hair won’t suffer needlessly.

Q: How are the formulas unique?
A: The base ingredients are the same for each blend. However, the percentages are a bit different. For example, Volumizing Therapé is intended for those with normal to oily hair. There is a higher percentage of cleansing surfactants in Volumizing Therapé than in the Moisture Therapé. Moisture Therapé has a higher percentage of proteins to enrich the hair, while still supporting the scalp. Scalp Therapé has a slightly different pH to help balance the scalp, without stripping the hair. Kid’s Therapé is a bit more cleansing, as kids tend to get dirtier than adults. Of course, the surfactants I chose to work with are very gentle, even at higher concentrations.

Q: What sets each formula apart from each other?

• TheraNeem Organix Gentle Therapé Shampoo & Conditioner - AKA Original Formula.
  Same great formulas - new & improved look.

Q: What are some of the new ingredients that you are using in the formulas?
A: We use a beet sugar based surfactant (lactic acid from beets, not milk) that is actually rated in Japan as a humectant that adds moisture. This means that while our shampoos are cleansing, they also are ultra moisturizing and gentle.
• We also use hydrolyzed rice protein for added hair conditioning.
• We are pleased to offer a 100% gluten free line for our sensitive customers.

Q: I am used to salon-quality shampoo and conditioners, how do yours compare?
A: The new formulas are focused on the more sophisticated consumers in health food stores - those who want salon-quality products, but are still careful about their ingredients. And of course, I did not want to lose the initial intent of supporting scalp health. The new formulas are ‘greener’ as there are more ingredients available today. I also optimized each blend for different hair types, including other supportive herbs along with nourishing Neem.

Q: Is your Kids Therapé Shampoo and Bodywash safe for infants?
A: Yes, it was formulated to be extremely gentle, yet effective for children and infants.

Q: Is your Kids Therapé Shampoo and Bodywash tear free?
A: Yes, it is very gentle on the eyes. During formulation, it was repeatedly tested for its eye friendliness.

Q: I heard that Neem is safe and effective to use with lice?
A: We do not offer any ‘pesticides’ in our product line, as that would require EPA registration and animal testing. With that said, there is a vast amount of reliable information documenting Neem’s effectiveness in controlling insects and parasites. One of the growing problems with all forms of pesticides is that the “bugs” have become resistant to the active ingredients in over-the-counter drugs such as lindane lotion, Permethrin (Nix) rinse, and Malathion (Prioderm) 0.5%. There are 6 to 12 million cases of head lice in the United States every year, more often seen in children than adults.
