Farouk Systems Inc. has announced the creation of the company's Health + Care Division. This new category will showcase an array of natural and high-tech sanitizing innovations under the CHI and BioSilk brand names.
Dr. Farouk Shami, founder and chairman of Farouk Systems Inc., has been a pioneer of innovation in the beauty industry for over 30 years. When COVID-19 began spreading, he dedicated his manufacturing, innovation and R&D teams to create products beyond beauty with a focus on safety. The Houston-based business will continue to release new sanitizing products under Health + Care.
The first products came in March 2020 when Farouk Systems shifted production efforts to produce a variety of safe, "Methanol Free" and FDA registered CHI and BioSilk hand sanitizers. The options are all powerful enough to kill 99.9% of germs, but also gentle enough on hands thanks to formulas with organically grown aloe vera from the company's CHI® Natural Gardens.
Many of CHI's blow dryers use blue LED lights to send out wavelengths to kill bacteria in the dryer and microorganisms in the air. In 2005, Dr. Shami introduced Nano Silver and Blue Light Therapy to hairstyling tools with the help of Dr. Dennis Morrison from NASA.
Dr. Farouk Shami has a mission to not only keep salons safe but protect the general public as well. He is now creating tools to disinfect personal and professional spaces, surfaces and rooms using UV and Blue LED Lights and Nano Silver technologies. "We want to serve our community, and create useful products needed in today's market so we could do our part to help stop the spread of COVID-19," explains Dr. Shami. "Because together we are stronger."
