for anyone whose hair and skin gave up

It wasn't you.
It was the water.

The dryness, the dullness, the itch after every shower. You blamed your products. But city water carries the same disinfectant as a swimming pool, and you soak in it every single day.

City water is disinfected. Your skin pays the toll.

the oxidant gap
01

Chlorine doesn't stop at the pipes

The disinfectant that keeps water safe in the pipes does not switch off at your showerhead. It arrives with every shower, at pool-level concentrations.

02

Hot water makes it worse

Hot water lifts the hair cuticle and rinses away the oils that protect your skin, so the disinfectant hits harder in your shower than it ever does in a cold pool.

03

Your filter missed the real one

Over 1 in 5 Americans now get chloramine, a disinfectant ordinary carbon filters barely touch. That is why the last filter changed nothing.

the oxidant seal

Don't trap it.
Convert it.

Ordinary filters are sponges: they trap a little chlorine and give up fast. The Litmus Showerhead runs 15 stages of filtration instead, built around a two-stage conversion core.

STAGE 01

KDF-55 and calcium sulfite neutralize free chlorine on contact, at shower temperature and full pressure.

STAGE 02

A dedicated Vitamin C stage takes apart chloramine, using the same chemistry cities themselves use to de-chloraminate water.
