A cancer diagnosis can be devastating. It can affect anyone at any age. Many individuals diagnosed with cancer will undergo chemotherapy treatment. Chemotherapy-induced hair loss (alopecia) can be profoundly traumatic and ranks among the most psychologically challenging side-effects of cancer treatment.

In addition to scalp hair loss, cancer patients may also lose their eyebrows. Eyebrow hair loss results in cosmetic changes that can cause substantial emotional distress in cancer patients.

There are few satisfactory options available that address the loss of eyebrows in connection with chemotherapy. Frequently used remedies include stencils to draw/pencil in eyebrows, tattoos, or artificial hairs shaped like an eyebrow, which are adhered to the skin. These replacements, which look unnatural and offer no range of emotion or facial expressions, do little to improve the psychological and emotional ramifications of alopecia. RMV Trademarks addressed this problem by creating EES to help cancer patients look and feel their best as they face the challenges of chemotherapy treatment.

“The ability to maintain my natural eyebrows during my treatment made a significant psychological difference when dealing with my other losses. With a wig, eyeliner and the preservation of my own eyebrows, others frequently commented on their amazement that I had not lost my hair… when indeed I had. The loss of eyelashes and the hair on one’s head are far easier to conceal than the loss of one’s eyebrows. I felt very fortunate to have access to this product. Thank you for the opportunity to use this product during my chemotherapy. ” – Lynn

Used for many purposes, black cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa) is a perennial herb native to North America. The chief element in the black cohosh root is a substance known as cimicifugin or macrotin. Studies have shown that black cohosh contains several compounds that may contribute to its potency, including: cycloartane, triterpene glycosides (such as acetin and 26-deoxyactein), henylpropanoid esters, and phenolic compounds (such as caffeic acid derivatives). Extracts from black cohosh have often been used for scalp hair loss, but until EES Essential Eyebrow Solution® was formulated, it had never been used to address thinning eyebrows or potential eyebrow loss. For this reason, EES was clincally tested in a preliminary, open-label, dose-ranging study. Data from the study was compiled and assessed in collaboration with Josephine Ford Cancer Institute/Henry Ford Health System, located in Detroit, Michigan and published in PRIME International Journal of Aesthetic and Anti-Ageing Medicine, a peer-reviewed publication. The results demonstrated that 91% of the 117 enrolled participants retained 50-100% of their eyebrow hair, despite experiencing full-body hair loss elsewhere. To read the article, click here.

An additional 16-week clinical study was conducted to determine the efficacy of the EES product for general beauty/cosmetic use. Approximately 84% of the enrolled participants reported a noticeable improvement in their eyebrow appearance (density, fullness, shine, strength and overall eyebrow appearance).
