The company said the Dandruff Detox shampoo, formulated with doctors' assistance, fights dandruff and supports scalp health.

“Our Hims & Hers customers continue to demand more products that address hair health right at the source.

By incorporating avocado oil to strengthen hair strands and a refreshing evergreen mint scent that doesn’t have a medicated fragrance, people can proudly display Dandruff Detox in their shower.”

Featuring a combination of zinc pyrithione to fight flakes and itch; and argan oil to nourish the scalp, the shampoo is vegan, cruelty-free and free of parabens, phthalates, sulfates and dyes, the company said.

Pure Protein is debuting a brand new product line—Popped Crisps.

“Americans love to snack, whether at home or on the go,” Pure Protein brand director Alex Fishman said. “Popped Crisps are gluten-free, never fried, and guaranteed to deliver the tangy flavor and satisfying crunch we all crave, without the empty calories and saturated fat found in a regular bag of chips.” 

Available in two flavors, hickory barbecue and sour cream and onion, each portion-controlled serving contains 12 g of protein, the company said.

“While sweeter snacks, shakes, and meal-replacement bars remain popular, we see an increasing demand for savory options in the active nutrition category. In fact, a recent consumer poll we conducted found that approximately half of consumers crave savory snacks over sweets. Pure Protein Popped Crisps are the first in a number of planned innovations we have in store for this growing category,” said Fishman.

Pure Protein’s Popped Crisps are currently available for purchase online.
