Hair Care
Lygos announces a partnership with Metalabs Co., LTD, to develop hair care and shampoo products featuring Lygos-CBGTM (cannabigerol). CBG is a cannabinoid that has been reported to interact with the endocannabinoid receptors that are involved in hair growth and inflammation.
New Line of Hair Care & Shampoo Products
Metalabs, a health, wellness and haircare company based in Korea, will incorporate its specialty formulations with Lygos-CBG into a new line of hair care and
shampoo products designed for a deep cleansing and purifying process that promotes strand resistance while enhancing volume, shine and growth.
“
We are excited to work with Lygos and leverage its proprietary cannabinoid production platform to make a line of innovative consumer haircare and shampoo products that delivers on the promise of our innovative brand,” said Michael Yoo, CEO of Metalabs. “
Metalabs and Lygos share a vision of improving wellness and health through high-quality products and the access to key enabling ingredients, such as Lygos-CBG, will lead us to new markets in the future.”
Partnership to Conduct Efficacy Studies
The Lygos CBx platform enables the production of many cannabinoid compounds for consumer applications in an environmentally safe, sustainable and cost-effective manner. This partnership enables important product formulations that have not been used due to scalability, consistency and cost issues.
Lygos CBx’ novel production pathway offers a high-performance, ultra-pure, THC-free, and consistent alternative to agricultural-based cannabinoid production. The two companies will work together to develop a proprietary formulation and conduct safety and efficacy studies. The results of these studies are expected in 2021, prior to the anticipated commercial launch of the new line of haircare and shampoo products.
“
Together with Metalabs, we are poised to transform the traditional haircare product market with these new, cannabinoid-based natural supplements,” said Eric Steen, PhD, CEO of Lygos. “
We believe we are just beginning to understand the vast potential of these ingredients and the many health and wellness benefits they offer across a number of sectors.”
