Kane Biotech Signs Worldwide License Agreement With Omni Bioceutical Innovations


Kane Biotech Inc. recently announced it has signed a worldwide license agreement with Arizona-based Omni Bioceutical Innovations Inc. for its coactiv+ line of scalp care products. The 5-year non-exclusive agreement will see Omni commercialize Kane’s scalp detoxifier product under the Omni Bioceuticals brand in the medical aesthetics market.

Kane’s scalp care product line addresses minor health ailments where biofilms contribute to the problem. It contains Kane’s patented coactiv+ technology which is formulated to break down bacterial and fungal biofilms as well as the accumulation of precipitated shampoo films that exacerbate the symptoms associated with common scalp conditions. Kane launched a shampoo, shampoo bar, and scalp detoxifier under the DermaKB brand in 2020, as its first products in their new skin care line.

“Scalp care is a rapidly expanding category in the medical esthetics market. The remarkable results from Kane’s large-scale consumer trial on their DermaKB Scalp Detoxifier made this a very compelling opportunity for us, in particular because the formulation is free from harsh chemicals. This combination of efficacy and safety provided the key elements we were looking for,” said Jane Christensen, CEO of Omni. “We believe this product will have a considerable impact in this space under the Omni Bioceuticals brand.”

“I am pleased to partner with Omni, which has a proven track record of delivering innovative skin treatment and care solutions to people throughout their lifetime, in making Kane’s unique scalp care line available on a global scale,” added Marc Edwards, President & CEO.
