A macro/close-up photo or a quick self-assessment finds your scalp and hair concerns and the actives that target them โ cosmetic guidance, never a diagnosis.
Try itEducational information only. Several hair actives are regulated drugs (e.g. minoxidil is an OTC drug; finasteride is prescription-only and not for use by women who are or may become pregnant). Consult a physician before starting any treatment.
The XyberHealth haircare line
A full bathroom-shelf replacement โ clean-formula shampoos, conditioners, scalp serums, masks and oils built around evidence-based actives, with no avoid-list ingredients.

Clear the flakes, calm the itch โ color-safe.
A multi-action anti-dandruff wash that pairs pyrithione zinc and piroctone olamine to control the look of flaking and itch by reducing scalp Malassezia, with salicylic acid to lift and dissolve stubborn scale. The OTC-drug dandruff actives (pyrithione zinc, salicylic acid) are formulated within the FDA OTC Monograph M032 concentration and labeling limits, on a gentle sulfate-free isethionate base that won't strip color-treated or light hair.

Leave-on, drug-free support for the look of fuller hair.
A lightweight leave-on scalp serum combining topical caffeine โ studied to counter testosterone-induced follicle suppression in vitro, with one open-label RCT finding a 0.2% solution non-inferior to minoxidil 5% โ with carrier-diluted rosemary oil and an acetyl tetrapeptide-3 + red clover complex to support the appearance of denser hair and a comfortable scalp. A cosmetic, drug-free serum: no minoxidil, no regrowth-drug claim. Confirmed pattern thinning routes to the trichologist/Rx consult flow.

An anti-androgen adjunct wash for pattern thinning.
An adjunct density wash built on ketoconazole 1% โ an OTC azole antifungal with mild anti-inflammatory and anti-androgen action on the scalp (the 1% strength is OTC; 2% is prescription-only and routes to consult) โ with topical caffeine and niacinamide to support scalp comfort and the look of fuller hair. Used a few times a week alongside the leave-on Density Activator Serum; a cosmetic/OTC adjunct, not a regrowth drug.

Re-bridge broken bonds in bleached and over-processed hair.
An Olaplex-type bond treatment whose bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate re-bridges broken disulfide bonds in damaged hair (maleate click chemistry), boosted by a biomimetic K18-type oligopeptide that penetrates the cortex to help re-form keratin chains and restore the feel of strength. Used pre-shampoo or in-shower on bleached, heat-stressed, or chemically processed hair. (Evidence is largely vendor before/after, not independent RCT.)

Balanced protein + moisture for breakage-prone hair.
A reconstructing rinse-off mask using low-molecular-weight hydrolyzed keratin to fill damaged sites for a transient boost in the feel of strength and smoothness, balanced with panthenol's humectancy and a cetearyl alcohol + behentrimonium methosulfate conditioning system for deep detangling slip. The protein and moisture are deliberately balanced to avoid the stiff feel of protein overload.

Protect your color โ no stripping, no fade.
A color-protecting duo on a sulfate-free isethionate base that cleanses without stripping, with a water-soluble benzophenone-4 UV filter to help shield color and the shaft from sun-induced fading, panthenol for shaft conditioning, and a rinse-off amodimethicone that bonds selectively to damaged areas for targeted smoothing. No selenium sulfide or coal tar that can discolor color-treated or light hair.

Build-up-free slip and definition for waves to coils.
A gentle co-wash and leave-in for curly textures: a very mild decyl glucoside sugar surfactant cleanses without stripping, cetrimonium chloride delivers light anti-static detangling slip, glycerin draws in humectant moisture, and a water-soluble dimethicone copolyol adds slip and shine that washes out cleanly with no buildup. Tuned for wavy through coily hair (2aโ4c) that needs slip without heavy silicone residue.

Everyday scalp comfort โ no drug strength needed.
A daily scalp-balancing wash for sensitive or oily scalps that don't need drug-strength dandruff actives: gentle piroctone olamine (a non-monograph cosmetic antifungal) keeps flaking and itch in check, niacinamide supports scalp microcirculation and barrier comfort, propanediol hydrates, and citric acid brings the formula into the hair-friendly low-pH window for a smoother, calmer scalp and shaft.

Body and lift for fine, flat hair.
A weightless volumizing wash on a gentle isethionate base that cleanses fine hair without weighing it down, with gluten-free hydrolyzed rice protein that coats the shaft to add body and the appearance of volume, plus panthenol to thicken the feel of each strand and help reduce breakage. Silicone-light by design, so fine hair stays lifted rather than flattened.

Everyday slip and lasting moisture.
An everyday rinse-off conditioner built on behentrimonium methosulfate for best-in-class detangling slip and a cetyl alcohol emollient system, with glycerin and sodium PCA โ a natural-moisturizing-factor humectant โ to draw and hold water for soft, supple, hydrated lengths. Lightweight enough for daily use on dry or normal hair without heavy buildup.

A penetrating pre-wash mask that cuts protein loss.
A pre-wash penetrating oil treatment built on whole coconut oil โ the one oil shown in Rele & Mohile to reduce hair protein loss versus mineral and sunflower oil, because lauric acid's low molecular weight and linear chain let it enter the shaft (confirmed by SIMS penetration studies) โ with optional carrier-diluted rosemary oil for scalp support. Applied to lengths 30+ minutes before washing; a pre-wash mask, not a leave-in for fine or oily hair.

Thinning plus dandruff โ handled in two steps.
A two-step men's system: a 2-in-1 wash on a gentle isethionate base with ketoconazole 1% (OTC; the 2% strength is Rx and routes to consult) to control flaking and add anti-androgen scalp support, plus topical caffeine for the look of fuller hair; paired with a leave-on serum carrying the GHK-Cu copper tripeptide to support the appearance of follicle health and density. If pattern (androgenetic) thinning is confirmed, it routes to the minoxidil/Rx trichologist consult flow โ never sold as a regrowth drug.

Lightweight shine and frizz-tame for the ends.
A weightless finishing oil that smooths frizz and adds glossy shine to dry ends without greasy buildup. A volatile cyclopentasiloxane (D5) gives lightweight slip and then largely evaporates, leaving hair soft and shiny rather than weighed down โ ideal for fine hair. A leave-on finisher, applied sparingly to mid-lengths and ends.

Smooth, soft hold with no buildup.
A leave-in styling cream that tames frizz and flyaways while keeping hair soft and touchable. A water-soluble dimethicone copolyol gives slip and shine that washes out cleanly with no buildup, and panthenol thickens the feel of the shaft and helps reduce breakage. Worked through damp hair to smooth, define, and protect through styling.

What we leave out
These ingredients are excluded from every custom haircare formula โ our clean-formula promise. The list reflects FDA and Health Canada Hotlist guidance: some are restricted or prohibited outright, others are contested sensitizers, scalp irritants, or have unresolved safety questions we'd rather not put on your hair. Where the science is settled we exclude entirely; where it's a positioning or profile call we minimize and gate.
Never in a XyberHealth haircare formula
Formaldehyde & formaldehyde-releasing preservatives
DMDM hydantoin, quaternium-15, imidazolidinyl urea, diazolidinyl urea, sodium hydroxymethylglycinate
Slow-release formaldehyde (a probable human carcinogen) and a top cosmetic contact allergen; the DMDM-hydantoin shampoos behind the J&J/Unilever OGX, TRESemmรฉ, and Suave hair-loss / scalp-irritation class actions.
Regulatory: Health Canada Hotlist restricts free formaldehyde; FDA/EWG have addressed DMDM-hydantoin hair-loss claims; subject of US class-action litigation.
Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS)
sodium lauryl sulfate, SLS
The dermatology reference irritant in contact-dermatitis patch testing; strips the scalp and color. Replaced by gentle isethionates (SLMI/SCI) and alkyl glucosides.
Regulatory: Permitted but the standard skin/scalp irritant model; excluded from XyberHealth formulas in favor of mild surfactants.
Synthetic fragrance / undisclosed "parfum"
parfum, fragrance, aroma
A top scalp allergen and a blanket term that can hide phthalates and individual allergens.
Regulatory: FDA allows 'fragrance' as a trade-secret blanket term โ we disclose every scent component (or use allergen-declared essential oils) and never use undisclosed parfum.
Coal-tar hair dyes / p-phenylenediamine (PPD) oxidative dyes
coal tar dyes, p-phenylenediamine, PPD, oxidative hair dye
Known sensitizers; some coal-tar dyes are prohibited. Not used in XyberHealth custom care.
Regulatory: Health Canada requires cautionary statements on PPD/oxidative dyes and prohibits unsafe coal-tar dyes; excluded entirely.
- Health-Canada โ Health Canada โ coal-tar dyes / PPD safety and labelling
Phthalates (DEHP / DBP / DEP)
DEHP, DBP, DEP, diethyl phthalate, dibutyl phthalate
Endocrine-disruption concern; commonly enter haircare as undisclosed fragrance carriers.
Regulatory: Health Canada Hotlist restricts phthalates; excluded from XyberHealth formulas.
- Health-Canada โ Health Canada โ Cosmetic Ingredient Hotlist (phthalates)
Methylisothiazolinone / methylchloroisothiazolinone (MIT/MCI) in leave-ons
methylisothiazolinone, methylchloroisothiazolinone, MIT, MI, MCI
A potent leave-on sensitizer (a former Allergen of the Year), especially in products that are not rinsed off.
Regulatory: EU restricts MIT/MCI in leave-on cosmetics; excluded from XyberHealth leave-ons.
Minimized / avoided in leave-ons
Sodium laureth sulfate (SLES)
sodium laureth sulfate, SLES
Milder than SLS but still strips, and carries a 1,4-dioxane trace-contamination concern from ethoxylation.
Regulatory: Permitted; we limit/exclude it in favor of isethionates because of the 1,4-dioxane trace concern.
Drying / denatured alcohols as a primary solvent
alcohol denat., SD alcohol 40, denatured alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, propanol
As high-percentage leading solvents they dehydrate the shaft and cause frizz and breakage. (Fatty alcohols โ cetyl/cetearyl โ are conditioning and unaffected.)
Regulatory: Permitted; we limit them as a primary solvent (fine as a trace solubilizer).
Non-water-soluble silicones in leave-on products
dimethicone, amodimethicone
In co-wash / curly leave-ins these build up, dull the hair, and require a sulfate cleanser to remove.
Regulatory: Permitted; we limit them to rinse-off products or substitute a water-soluble silicone in leave-ons.
Long-chain parabens (propyl / butyl / isobutyl)
propylparaben, butylparaben, isobutylparaben
Contested endocrine signal for the longer-chain esters; de-prioritized in favor of phenoxyethanol / Geogard. (Short-chain methylparaben is permitted but de-prioritized.)
Regulatory: EU SCCS restricts/banned the longer-chain parabens; CIR/FDA consider parabens safe at use levels. We limit them for positioning.
Selenium sulfide / coal tar on color-treated or light hair
selenium sulfide, coal tar
Discolors and stains color-treated or light hair.
Regulatory: Permitted OTC dandruff actives, but profile-gated: limited for color-treated/light hair โ warn and substitute piroctone olamine.
