What’s in the pipeline? Mellon lab updates.

Hey friends! Our lab is buzzing with activity again, and we can't wait to tell you what we're all working on. If you've been following us for a while, you know that we develop our products with great care and attention. Each product goes through an intensive process of 1 to 2 years before it ends up in your bathroom. We test, refine, and test again because only the best is good enough for your hair and scalp.

So... grab a cup of tea, make yourself comfortable, and read along to see what we have in store for you!

The synergies are ready

After much testing and feedback, we have chosen 3 synergies that address different scalp problems. These beauties will help with dry scalp (dandruff and/or itching), oily scalp (with more thick oily flakes and excess sebum), and hair loss. The labels for our clay jars are also completely ready, and we've given the clay a new nickname: Detox Sidekick. Even though Purifying Partner was the winner in our poll, Detox Sidekick still felt like the perfect name! But don't worry, the name Purifying Partner has also been used for one of our synergies.

New unscented version of our award-nominated Oil

Our award-nominated oil is already a hit, but we wanted to make it accessible to everyone. So... we're releasing an unscented version! No essential oils, but all the nourishing properties are retained. This unscented oil is perfect for people with sensitive skin, and you can also mix it with our new synergies. Win-win!

Our Strong Hold Gel and the nourishing hair mask

We know it sometimes takes a long time for us to launch a new product, but that's because we really want to do it right. Our Strong Hold Gel has been in the testing phase for over a year and a half. But our formula is almost there. It's time for the final decisive test... Quirina is now testing it in the salon on different hair types. We hope with you that version 47 is the formula! If all goes well, we might launch it sooner than expected!

Our deeply nourishing hair mask, which we have also been working on for over 1.5 years, is also getting closer to the perfect formula. The new samples are on their way to our home! Exciting.

Prebiotic Shampoo for sensitive scalps

Quirina and Marion are both sensitive to certain ingredients. And we all know what they say, birds of a feather flock together. 😉 We have many customers with sensitive scalps, and we also want to offer solutions for them. That's why we are working on a prebiotic shampoo, especially for sensitive scalps. No essential oils, but a mix of new mild cleansers that thoroughly clean the scalp without irritation.

The search for the perfect towel

Oh man, if there's one thing where we want to throw in the towel (pun intended😜), it's this. The search is terrible. We absolutely don't want to use microfiber because of microplastics, but finding a good, reliable supplier for other materials is difficult. But hey, we're not giving up! We keep looking for the best sustainable options.

Protecting your texture overnight

Many of you ask us how best to protect your texture overnight, and guess what... we have a solution! We are currently testing the pillowcases and matching accessories. We have found the perfect bamboo fabric that is both sustainable and animal-friendly. Yes, you read that right, no satin or silk, but bamboo. We'll tell you more about this sometime, because that's a blog post in itself.

And furthermore…

There are a number of other tools and product ideas in the making, we are still at the very beginning stages here, so we will save this fun info for a future blog post!

We are excited about everything that is to come and we can't wait to share these products with you. Don't forget to sign up for our newsletter so you are always up to date with the latest developments!

See you soon! 💚

Love,
The Mellon Team
