ShiKai... A Leader in Natural Skin & Hair Care for 35 Years

SHIKAI began 35 years ago with a vision. With research, incredible determination and a touch of magic, it has grown into the company it is today.

Dr. Dennis T. Sepp, an organic chemist with an interest in natural products and Dr. Vasant Telang, a pharmaceutical chemist with knowledge of auyervedic medicines, were interested in exploring the exceptional properties of several natural plants which are utilized in the care of skin and hair. They quickly honed in on the lathering and low pH cleansing properties of shikakai and its effectiveness as a truly natural shampoo. They developed an extract based on this plant and called it "SHIKAI". This soap and detergent-free extract became the basis for the first line of shampoos and the name of a new company.

Today, SHIKAI is one of the most respected companies in the natural products industry with over 50 products - all formulated and produced at the company's facilities in California.

Effective July 31, 2006 Dr. Sepp retired from management and appointed Jason Sepp President and General Manager of SHIKAI Products. Jason has a masters in Chemistry from Cornell and has an impressive background in the marketing arena. He has been with SHIKAI and actively learning the business for 5 years. He brings aggressive energy and new ideas to the company.

Dr. Sepp will continue to formulate all new products and remain active in a consulting role.
