Komen for the cure Foundation which, for the last couple of years, has totaled over $214,000 (each year)!

also, Aquage has a display contest each year and awards the most creative entry! a few photos of my entry are below.  i'll keep you posted when i catch wind of the results!

hi friends!  i am absolutely thrilled to be able to introduce this new brand of shampoo and conditioner launched by Aquage!  the technology in these products is breakthrough!  natural oils and water don't mix, they always separate....until now!  Biomega has discovered a brilliant way to suspend potent amounts of ultra-light, ultra rich botanical oils in this sulfate free, gluten free, water-based shampoos and conditioners, so they can be infused into the hairshaft.  crazy, right?!  the high amounts of thermal heat we apply to our hair these days is just nuts, and the frequency of haircolor services don't allow our natural oils to repair and protect our hair from dryness and damage which makes these products a necessity!

what it does:
Biomega is the first haircare system to replenish hair's natural oils!  the shampoos and conditioners deliver a potent infusion of nature's precious, lightweight Omega-rich oils and nourishing plant extracts deep into the hairshaft to:
  • REPLENISH hair's depleted natural oils, infusing vital moisture and brilliant shine
