Comments: In December, Combe Inc., the maker of Just For Men, increased its investment in Virtue Labs. It is now the majority owner of the fast-growing prestige hair care company.
“Combe has invested in Virtue’s growth and development since its launch in 2017, and we are excited to continue to partner with the Virtue team in its mission of leveraging a differentiated technology to provide game-changing haircare products and solutions to women. Virtue’s mission, its ethos, its proprietary and disruptive technology, and transformative results are unique in an ocean of product-sameness, and we look forward to supporting its continued growth in the rapidly expanding prestige hair care market,” said Keech Combe Shetty, executive chair of Combe.
Virtue’s most recent launch is Flourish (below), a product line specifically to target female hair loss. Products online as well as in Sephora and Bluemercury.
Last summer, Vagisil rolled out OMV!, a line of intimate washes and cleansers designed for teenage girls. The three-product line has been criticized by some doctors and others on social media for being an unnecessary product for this age group. The brand said worked with intimate health experts and engaged with 2,500 teen girls and their mothers to develop the gynecologist-tested product line.
Last August, Combe Shetty was named board chair of the Personal Care Products Council.
