Key Terms

otc, zinc oxide
2 terms
otc regulatory
"a well-known skin health ingredient on the OTC skin protectant monograph"
OTC stands for "over-the-counter" and describes securities that trade directly between dealers or via dealer networks rather than on a formal stock exchange. It matters to investors because OTC listings typically have fewer reporting rules and lower trading volume, which can mean higher price swings, limited liquidity, and greater difficulty buying or selling shares—similar to shopping at a small flea market instead of a large, regulated supermarket.
View in glossary
zinc oxide medical
"platform that transforms the way zinc oxide functions"
Zinc oxide is a white, powdery inorganic compound used as an ingredient in products like sunscreens, cosmetics, rubber, paints and some medicines; think of it as a versatile building block that helps protect, bind or add certain properties to many consumer and industrial goods. Investors care because changes in demand, production costs, supply disruptions or regulatory decisions affecting its use can influence sales, margins and valuation for companies across health, personal-care, industrial and materials sectors.

New White Label Collection, Powered by WHSPR™ and Kleair™, Debuts with Revitalizing Scalp Serum and Scalp Screen Dry Shampoo SPF 45+ Sunscreen

Scalp Screen Dry Shampoo SPF 45+ Sunscreen Named a Finalist for the 2026 Cosmopack Award for Best Formulation at Cosmoprof Las Vegas

ROMEOVILLE, Ill., July 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Solésence, Inc. (Nasdaq: SLSN), a leader in scientifically-driven health care solutions across beauty and life science categories, today announced the launch of two new market-ready products: Revitalizing Scalp Serum and Scalp Screen Dry Shampoo SPF 45+ Sunscreen. Both products are available to brand partners globally and represent a significant expansion into the fast-growing hair and scalp care segment.

The launch advances the second pillar of Solésence's ongoing Transform and Transcend initiative, leveraging its patented and proprietary technology suites, including WHSPR™ and Kleair™, to introduce differentiated formulations that expand skin health claims within high-growth beauty segments.

“Scalp care is the next frontier for skin health innovation as consumers increasingly recognize the connection between the health of their hair and the health of their scalp. We developed our newest market-ready products with this in mind, combining enhanced scalp health benefits to reduce skin irritation and protect against UV damage and skin cancer,” commented Yoana Dvorzsak, Vice President of Innovation and Product Integrity at Solésence. “Both of these products incorporate Solésence's patented skin health technologies to deliver clinically validated performance and differentiated benefits that enable our brand partners to stand out in an increasingly competitive marketplace.”

Revitalizing Scalp Serum
Revitalizing Scalp Serum is a multi-benefit product designed to soothe irritation, hydrate the scalp, and repair and strengthen the skin barrier for optimal scalp health. Formulated with a proprietary combination of Solésence's globally-patented WHSPR™ technology and 5% niacinamide, the lightweight, oil-free serum delivers clinically proven improvements in barrier recovery, mitigating erythema, increasing scalp moisture, and controlling sebum to reduce hair oiliness.

WHSPR™ is Solésence’s globally-patented delivery system for allantoin, a well-known skin health ingredient on the OTC skin protectant monograph. By leveraging WHSPR™ in Revitalizing Scalp Serum, Solésence allows brand partners to access OTC skin health claims and sensitive-skin-focused products in scalp care.

Scalp Screen Dry Shampoo SPF 45+ Sunscreen
Shortlisted as a finalist for the 2026 Cosmopack Award for Formulation at Cosmoprof Las Vegas, Scalp Screen Dry Shampoo SPF 45+ Sunscreen leverages Kleair™, combining broad-spectrum, mineral-based UV protection with oil-absorbing and scalp-soothing benefits in a single product, providing a daily use SPF product that streamlines haircare routines.

Kleair™ is Solésence’s award-winning, globally-patented platform that transforms the way zinc oxide functions, maximizing its efficacy and aesthetics. Leveraging Kleair™, Scalp Screen shields the skin from more than 97% of UV radiation while Binchotan white charcoal and microzest bamboo absorb excess oil and perspiration, and niacinamide works to soothe the scalp and reduce itchiness and irritation.

“Today’s consumers are looking for multifunctional products that simplify their routines and deliver meaningful results,” commented Kevin Cureton, President and CEO at Solésence. “With nearly half of U.S. beauty consumers recognizing the connection between scalp health and overall hair appearance, and a higher mortality rate for melanoma on the scalp as compared to other areas of the skin, these innovations represent a significant opportunity for brands to offer scalp care products that provide multiple benefits across beauty, health, and wellness in a single step.”

Revitalizing Scalp Serum and Scalp Screen Dry Shampoo SPF 45+ Sunscreen are available through Solésence’s market-ready path to market. Explore Solésence’s entire menu of market-ready and custom concept products at solesence.com.
