SHIKAI
Creating Loyal Customers for over 40 Years
ShiKai began
in 1970. With a vision, hard work, and
determination, it’s grown into the company it is today.
Dr. Dennis
Sepp, an organic and medicinal chemist, began exploring
the unique properties of certain plants and their
benefits for hair and skin. His first studies were done
with shikakai, a plant which grows in India and is well
known for it’s ability to clean hair, leave it silky,
soft and shiny, and not dry the hair or scalp.
The result
was a shampoo which was an immediate hit with friends,
family, and local health food stores. Thus, in 1970, the
original ShiKai Shampoo was created and a new company
formed.
Today ShiKai
has more than 50 products which are made, start to
finish, at the ShiKai facilities in Santa Rosa. Dr. Sepp
continues to oversee the formulation and manufacture of
all items.
“I care
about all of our products and how they are made. This
concern over quality reflects my personal philosophy and
influences everything that my company does. I take pride
in what I do and how I do it.”
Why SHIKAI? -- our promise to you
QUALITY
Each SHIKAI product and botanical extract has been
carefully formulated and manufactured - beginning to end
- at our facility in Santa Rosa to ensure the highest
quality and safety.
Each Ingredient is selected for its effectiveness and
safety. Natural ingredients are always preferable and
are used whenever they meet this criteria.
We Don’t Compromise. For example, we use pharmaceutical
grade as opposed to cosmetic grade ingredients whenever
possible.
And we use only the purest, highest grade fragrances.
These are more expensive but less likely to cause
allergic reactions among the many people prone to these
allergies.
INTEGRITY
Each SHIKAI product contains a natural ingredient or
botanical extract which is responsible for doing what it
is the product claims to do. Only high quality
ingredients which work are used and in amounts which are
effective. No ingredients are added simply for “label
claims”.
Our customers tell us over and over again: SHIKAI products do what they say they will do.
INNOVATION
In a world of “me too” products, SHIKAI stands apart.
From the innovative redesign of perhaps the world’s
oldest shampoo (shikakai) and conditioner (amla) to the
cutting edge use of the omega-6 fatty acid, GLA, in our
best selling Borage Dry Skin Therapy lines, SHIKAI has
forged a different direction. This has not been the
easiest path but has resulted in unique and creative
uses of these natural resources, more effective natural
solutions and products you won’t find elsewhere.
TRUST
For over 40 years SHIKAI has staked a reputation on the above
concepts and philosophy. We are proud of our company and
take pride in every single product. We sincerely believe
each to be the very best we can possibly make.
We stand behind all our products and offer a100% money
back guarantee if not completely satisfied.
