Seanol Shampoo is marketed as a complete hair and scalp system formula that will improve hair’s strength, thickness and appearance. The product is both a shampoo and conditioner and it can also be used on colored hair.

This product is offered by Advanced Bionutritionals, a company based in Georgia, which markets an array of dietary supplements and herbal products. The company practices a 100% satisfaction guarantee policy for all their products, which includes a refund of both the cost of the product and the shipping costs.

The manufacturer claims the product manages to do so through the polyphenols it contains, which bond to hair keratin to deliver the results mentioned above. Seanol Shampoo is based on Cava Ecklonia extract, algae found in oceans of Japan and Korea.

Seanol Shampoo Ingredients

Seanol Shampoo includes the following ingredients: Water, Ammonium Laureth Sulfate, Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate, Cocamidropopyl Betaine, Dimethicode, Cocamide MEA, Ecklonia Cava Extract, Cetyl Alcohol, Sodium Chloride, Propylene Glycol, Styrene, Menthol, Methyl Lactate, Glycol Distearate, Citric Acid, Laureth-3, Disodium EDTA, Laureth-23, Alcohol Denat, and Fragrance.

Product Features

Seanol Shampoo is the patented form of Cava Ecklonia, a marine brown alga, demonstrated in lab studies to have radical scavenging, bactericidal, tyrosinase inhibitory and anti-inflammatory properties.

Clinical research studies on the alga have not been conducted, therefore no guarantee can be given towards any of these benefit claims. Also, due to limited research, potential side effects or precautions are also unknown.

According to the manufacturer, Seanol Shampoo was researched and proven to provide positive results. No empirical evidence is provided to support these claims. The product is not FDA approved. Our readers should however know that the company offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee, refunding both product and shipping costs and that a trial offer is also available.

Advantages

Availability of a trial offer;
The product is both a shampoo and conditioner and it can also be used on colored hair
The company has a 100% satisfaction guarantee policy (which also covers shipping costs)

Disadvantages

The product’s main ingredient is relatively new and not researched
Rather expensive
Lack of consumer testimonials

Conclusion

Without relevant clinical studies on the product or on the product’s main ingredient (the Ecklonia Cava alga) and without consumer reviews’ testimonials available, it is difficult to establish whether or not the product is effective and to what extent the benefit promises made by the producer are true or not.

However, the fact that the manufacturer offers a complete refund to customers not fully satisfied (product cost and shipping charges) and that it has a trial offer may be evidence of the company’s confidence in their product and may constitute a guarantee in its own right.

Review History

(Published on: January 29, 2014 2:43 pm)

Seanol is a beauty product offered in the form of an all in one shampoo and conditioner. The company behind it is Advanced Bionutritionals, an American manufacturer located in Georgia.

The formula is particularly advertised to improve the strength, appearance and thickness of the hair. These benefits are the result from its active ingredient which is an extract of Cava Ecklonia seaweed. The plant is currently being researched for its powerful antioxidant benefits and its application as a treatment of high blood pressure, glucose and as an anti-inflammatory ingredient. One of its benefits seems to be in enhancing hair growth and preventing hair loss. Research of this extract in all of the mentioned claims is still in the incipient phase.

Although the formula comes with a free trial offer, the price per bottle is still relatively high. Seanol reviews are not available at this moment.

Is Seanol Right For You?

Seanol is a shampoo and conditioner all in one, advertised as the patented form of cava ecklonia (a seaweed harvested from pristine ocean waters).

Effectiveness of Seanol

The main component of Seanol is Ecklonia Cava, a type of seaweed that can be found in pristine ocean waters (Japan and Korea). Its inclusion into a shampoo formulation is a bit strange as Ecklonia Cava is commonly used as an herbal remedy.

However, according to the company this product can bond to hair keratin to improve your hair’s health, thickness and appearance. Seanol is the patented form of cava Ecklonia Cava.

There is little information about this product and, it ‘s hard for us to discuss its effectiveness. The manufacturer claims that their formula was researched and proven to provide positive results. However, there are no testimonials or relevant clinical studies to support these claims.

Seanol Price

Seanol Shampoo comes in a tube holding 8.1 fluid ounces. This is an expensive product. It can be purchased directly from the manufacturer or several online and offline retailers.

The company offers free shipping for larger purchases (6 tubes or more).

Does Seanol Work?

As stated above, Ecklonia Cava has proven to be effective as a component in various herbal supplements. This is a new approach and according to the manufacturer, their product bond to hair keratin to improve your hair’s health, thickness and appearance.

However, without relevant clinical studies and customers testimonials, it is difficult for us to say how effective this product is.

This product has stopped my hair from falling, made it look healthier and shinier. I simply love it. It’s definitely worth the money!

Since I started using this shampoo, my hair is looking better than ever. And I don’t lose as much as I did before. Plus, I think it also grows faster, and I no longer have that annoying dandruff that I just could not get rid of no matter what I used. So I definitely recommend it to all those who have hair problems and seek for an effective solution for having healthier scalp and hair.
