20 GHP Q3 2026 ACTIIV Hair Science (ACTIIV) – our Best Plant-Based Hair Loss & Scalp Care Brand 2026 - USA – was born from Founder Jared Reynolds’ personal search for better hair and scalp solutions while in medical school. Frustrated by complicated, multi-step routines that left his hair and scalp feeling dry and irritated, he set out to create a simpler, more intentional approach. We caught up with Jared to learn more about the award-winning brand that is ACTIIV. In today’s hair care industry, consumers are increasingly looking beyond quick fixes and toward purposeful ingredients, proven performance, and routines designed to support longterm hair and scalp health. ACTIIV remains committed to intentional innovation, where every formula has a clear purpose, every ingredient earns its place, and every product is designed to deliver meaningful, performance-driven results. “I never wanted ACTIIV to be another product promising overnight results,” said Jared. “Healthier-looking hair is built through consistent care, intentional formulas, and systems designed to work together. That’s why we focus on creating simple rituals people can commit to – because meaningful results come from what you do consistently over time.” ACTIIV continues to keep three principles at its core: nature, science, and action. Nature inspires plant-powered performance; science drives intentional formulation and proven innovation; and action is the reminder that small, consistent habits can lead to meaningful results over time. Because when you care for your scalp with intention, healthier-looking hair follows. Every ingredient is thoughtfully selected based on its purpose within the formula, bringing together plant-powered ingredients and performance-driven actives. ACTIIV’s intentional approach to formulation is designed to support the scalp environment while helping hair look and feel stronger, healthier, and more resilient over time. “We pride ourselves on thoughtful formulation, rather than chasing trends,” Jared commented. “Every ingredient has a purpose, every product is designed as part of a complete system, and every claim is backed by testing whenever possible.” “What sets ACTIIV apart is our scalpfirst philosophy. While many hair care brands focus solely on the hair itself, we believe healthier, fuller-looking hair begins with the scalp. Every formula is intentionally developed to support the scalp environment while delivering visible, performance-driven results.” Notably, ACTIIV’s best-selling products include its RECOVER Thickening Shampoos for Women and Men, designed for those concerned with thinning, shedding, or loss of fullness. Rather than focusing on hair alone, RECOVER reflects ACTIIV’s signature scalpfirst approach, combining plant-powered ingredients with thoughtfully selected actives to support a balanced scalp environment and the appearance of healthier, thicker, fuller-looking hair over time. Jared and the team are also proud of their REMEDY Dandruff Shampoo, recently named a 2026 SHAPE Skin Awards winner for Best Dandruff Shampoo. Formulated with 1% pyrithione zinc alongside thoughtfully selected botanicals, REMEDY helps control the symptoms of dandruff, including flaking, scaling, and itching, while keeping the scalp and hair at the center of the ritual. “The greatest benefit our customers gain is confidence,” said Jared of customers’ experience with ACTIIV products. “Our goal is to create products that become part of a consistent ritual and deliver results people can both see and feel.” That philosophy is reflected in the feedback ACTIIV receives from its community, with customers often sharing how their hair feels healthier and how consistency with their ACTIIV ritual has helped restore confidence. It is this real-world experience that continues to inspire Jared and the team as they develop what comes next. Now, ACTIIV is entering an exciting new chapter with the September launch of INTEGRITYrx, a three-step system created to help protect, repair, and maintain hair through chemical services, heat styling, and everyday damage. The system bridges professional and at-home care, extending ACTIIV’s performance-driven approach beyond the scalp and into hair integrity. “It’s one of our biggest innovations to date and reflects where we believe the industry is headed – thoughtfully formulated, science-backed systems that deliver professional-level performance while remaining simple enough to become part of a consistent ritual,” Jared enthused. “We’re looking forward to sharing INTEGRITYrx with more people, and we believe it represents an exciting milestone for both ACTIIV and our customers.” Contact: Sam Kyle Company: ACTIIV Hair Science Website: actiivbrand.com Email: samk@actiivbrand.com Scalp-First.
