We're all about transparency. Before supporting our Kickstarter launch, here are some things you should know:
๐ง Use of AI
Some visuals and copy on this page were enhanced using AI. The creativity, ideation, refinement, and brand guidelines are direct result of the co-founders. This choice allowed us to focus our limited budget on product development and to deliver high-quality haircare at the best possible price for launch. We deeply value human creativity and fully intend to employ creative designers and writers post-Kickstarter once we secure funding.
๐ธ Charitable Donations
We plan to donate 10% of distributed profits (i.e., the portion of net profits paid out to founders and investors) to non-profits. Our first intended partner is Days for Girls. However, as of June 3, 2025, we have not finalized a partnership with them, and we are not currently affiliated with them. Our choice of non-profit partners and donation amounts may change at our discretion.
๐งด Product Claims (Hypoallergenic, Anti-Dandruff, etc.)
Weโve spent countless hours researching the most hypoallergenic, effective ingredients for your scalp and soul. However, even the gentlest, vital ingredients (such as 1% Piroctone Olamine, 0.5% Salicylic Acid, and Propanediol Caprylate) can cause irritation for a small number of people. While our formulas are FDA approved and thoughtfully crafted, no topical product can be guaranteed to be 100% irritation-free. (Unless you're just using distilled water. But at that point you might as well be using snake oil to treat your dandruff).
If you experience any discomfort or unexpected results, please review our refund policy and contact us. We genuinely want to hear your experience, see if we can make things right, and use your feedback to improve the experience for others.
๐งพ Fulfillment & Shipping
As a Kickstarter-backed product, estimated fulfillment times may change based on production timelines, supplier availability, and volume of orders. We will keep you informed with regular updates. Please see our shipping policy for more info.
๐ฐ Pre-Orders & Kickstarter Status
Participating in the pre-sale (by providing your email and/or joining the VIP club) and participating in the Kickstarter campaign is not a not a typical retail transaction. Orders will not ship until after our Kickstarter is successfully funded and fulfillment begins. Please understand that your support helps us bring this product to life, and that delays, pivots, or formulation tweaks may occur. We will be transparent about these updates.
Associations
We mention a few organizations on this site, but unless stated otherwise, BrainWash Skincare is not officially affiliated with them.
