Dyson enters scalp care with formula cutting oil and flakes
CHICAGO: Dyson Beauty has stepped into scalp care with the global launch of Dyson Amino, its first formulation designed to protect, hydrate and strengthen the scalp, the foundation, it says, of healthier hair.
The lightweight, leave-in foaming treatment is clinically proven to reduce excess oil by 62 per cent and visible flakes by 88 per cent, offering fast relief while reinforcing the scalp barrier against environmental stress. The product will roll out in select markets, with an India launch to be announced soon.
At the heart of the formulation is Dyson Amino11, a blend of 11 amino acids paired with barley grown at Dyson Farming in the UK. The ingredient mix is designed to nourish hair follicles, improve scalp resilience and support stronger-looking hair over time.
Founder and chief engineer James Dyson, said the product marked a shift from purely engineered beauty to cultivated science. By growing its own barley, Dyson has harnessed a naturally rich amino acid profile to boost hydration and scalp barrier function, he said.
The treatment also features skincare-grade ingredients including niacinamide and Ectoin Natural to strengthen the scalp barrier, alongside caffeine to energise. Dyson claims continued use can lead to 63 per cent less hair fall and improvements in hair density.
Designed as a foam-to-serum formula, Dyson Amino aims to avoid the heaviness associated with traditional scalp treatments. Users apply eight to ten pumps directly onto damp or dry hair, massaging it into the scalp without disrupting styling.
The launch completes Dyson Beauty’s formulation ecosystem, alongside Dyson Chitosan for styling and Dyson Omega for conditioning, positioning the brand as a full-spectrum hair health player.
The move builds on Dyson’s broader beauty push, which includes intelligent devices such as the Supersonic Nural hair dryer, engineered to protect scalp health through sensor-driven heat control.
Behind the ingredient innovation is Dyson Farming, the UK’s largest farming business, spanning 36,000 acres and backed by more than £140 million in technology-led sustainable agriculture investments.

Jubilant FoodWorks faces Rs 47.5 crore GST demand, plans appeal
Tax authorities flag alleged misclassification of restaurant services
MUMBAI:Â Jubilant FoodWorks Limited has landed in a tax tussle after receiving a GST demand of Rs 47.5 crore from the office of the additional commissioner of CGST and central excise in Thane, Maharashtra.
The order, issued under the provisions of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017, relates to an alleged incorrect classification of certain services under the category of restaurant services. According to the tax authorities, this classification resulted in a short payment of goods and services tax for the period between the financial years 2019-20 and 2021-22.
The demand includes Rs 47.5 crore in GST along with an equal amount as penalty, in addition to applicable interest. The order was received by the company on March 13, 2026.
In a regulatory filing to the BSE Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited, the company said it disagrees with the order and believes its arguments were not adequately considered.
The company is preparing to challenge the decision and plans to file an appeal. It added that once the redressal process is complete, the demand is likely to be dropped.
Despite the sizeable figure attached to the notice, the company said it does not expect any material impact on its financials, operations or other activities.
The disclosure was signed by Suman Hegde, EVP and chief financial officer, who confirmed that the company received the order at 19:06 IST on March 13 and has already initiated steps to contest it.
The development places the quick service restaurant major in the middle of a tax debate that could hinge on how certain restaurant-linked services are classified under GST rules. For now, the company appears ready to take the matter from the tax office to the appeals desk.
