Bloom and Bond
Official Investigation Report
“Bloom and Bond is a SCAM.”
I am the founder. I have read every comment.
Here is what I am finally saying publicly.

Other companies copied MY product. They took MY name. They copied MY words.
Then they put something fake in a bottle and sold it on Amazon to women who thought they were buying from Bloom and Bond.
Now those women are online saying Bloom and Bond is a scam.
For six months I let my team answer all those DMs and emails. Today I am answering it myself.
Yes, there is a scam here. It is just not the one you think.
Some of the women calling Bloom and Bond a scam are right, not about the product I make, but about what happened to them.
Here is what almost nobody knows about this ingredient, in three steps.
01
Real pumpkin seed oil is expensive
It takes a lot of seeds to make a little oil. Sunflower oil costs almost nothing.
02
Once you pour one into the other, you cannot see it
Not in the bottle. Not in a softgel. Not on the label. It still looks the same, and it still says pumpkin seed oil on the front.
03
Nobody is required to test for it
A lab has to measure the sterols, because the cheap oil leaves a fingerprint that real pumpkin seed oil does not have. That test costs money, so most sellers do not run it. If nobody runs it, nobody has checked. Not them. Not the marketplace. Not you.
What the research found
When researchers tested bottles sold as pumpkin seed oil, close to half were blends cut with cheaper oil.
The real problem
It is not the price or the packaging. It is what went into the softgel before it was sealed.
So let me tell you exactly what we do, because being vague is how this whole problem started...
The sterol test proves the oil is real.
Most tests stop at metals and mold. We test every batch before bottling to confirm it is genuine pumpkin seed oil, not a cheap blend.
If it fails
We do not bottle it.
If you ask
We send you the report.
Now here is the part that made me sit down and write this.
A woman hears about pumpkin seed oil. She goes on Amazon. She finds one with good reviews and a low price, and she does the sensible thing, which is to try a cheap one before she spends real money on something she is not sure about.
She takes it every day for three months. She does not skip a single day.
Nothing changes.
And then she goes online and writes that pumpkin seed oil does not work.
She is not lying. She just never really took any.
If you decided against this because of someone else's review of a bottle that was mostly sunflower oil, then you made that decision on evidence that had nothing to do with what I put in mine. That is what the next few minutes are going to fix.
See what is actually in it
Here is exactly what is in the bottle, and what is missing.
The front of the label is the easy part to copy. Two words and a picture of a seed. Anyone can print that.
What sits behind the label is where they stop, because that is the part that costs money.

Look down that first column and then look at the rest of the row.
Not one of them has published a test proving the oil in their bottle is really pumpkin seed oil. Not one names the seed. Most of them were built for a man's prostate and sold to you for your hair.
That is not me being unfair. I’m kind about competitors. Every one of those bottles is either something they printed themselves or something they never printed at all. Go and look. It takes two minutes and you will not find it, because it is not there.

Not formulated for women’s hair
The front of the label is the easy part.
This is the part that costs money, and this is where they stop.
Get the real bottle, made only for women
Why the fakes cannot work, even if you take it every day
This is the part nobody mentions about cheap alternatives.
It is not about how long you take it. It is not about taking it every single day. It is not about the week you forgot.
The cheap bottle was never going to work. Not because of you. Because of where the problem sits.
Your hair does not thin on top of your head. It thins under it. Down in the root, where the hair gets made. And the root is not doing that on its own. It is reacting to something in your blood.
That is why it happens across your whole part at once. Not in one spot. All of it, at the same time.
Where the problem actually lives
Level one
The surface
Where shampoos go. Where serums go. Where rosemary oil goes. This is where almost everything sold for hair stops. It can change how your hair looks today, and it does not change what is happening underneath it.
Get the real bottle, made only for women
So here is what that means for the bottle in your hand.
To do anything at Level Three, the oil has to be real pumpkin seed oil. That is the whole thing. That is it.
If it got cut with sunflower oil on the way to the factory, it does not matter how much of it you swallow. It does not matter that you took it every morning for three months. You can be perfect about it. Sunflower oil is still sunflower oil.
That is why you saw nothing.
You were just consuming the fake stuff all along.
What women noticed first
I am going to share three of these.
Not the most dramatic ones we have. Not the ones that sound too good to be true. The ones that sound like where you probably are right now.
Story 01
That was week seven.
“I had already tried one of these and it did nothing, so I honestly thought I was throwing money away twice. Then one morning I rinsed my hair out and there was hardly anything in my hand. I stood there and counted it.”
Cecilia · Age 45 · Verified buyer
Story 02
My part is not the first thing I look at in the mirror anymore.
“I was losing weight and losing my hair at the same time and nobody warned me that came as a pair. I now keep these softgels next to my morning coffee so I cannot forget.”
Adriana · Age 32 · Verified buyer
Story 03
When did my hair get so voluminous?
“The doctor gave me a prescription and I looked it up and did not want to be on something for the rest of my life just to keep my hair. So I ordered this instead and expected nothing. My daughter is the one who said something.”

How much is your hair worth to you?
Let us talk about what thinning hair actually costs. Not how it feels. What it costs.
Every option you have been offered has a price on it, and nobody ever lines them up next to each other. I will.
Hair transplant
$8,000–12,000 one time
One time, if your donor area holds up. Female transplants in the US run $6,000 to $18,000, with most landing in this range. Insurance covers none of it. And it moves hair you already have. It does not stop the thinning around it.
PRP injections
$500–1,200 a session, forever
Three or four to start. Then a maintenance visit every four to six months, for as long as you want to keep it. There is no version of this where you stop going.
Prescription by telehealth
$49–89 a month, forever
That is $588 to $1,068 a year, every year, with no finish line. And if you stop, you lose what you gained.
Serums, shampoos and sprays
$79–98 a month, forever
The best known one in the category. Around $950 to $1,175 a year. And on top of that, having to remember four capsules a day.
The cheapest thing on this page
Bloom and Bond
[$XX] a month
Tested oil, named seed, 200mg saw palmetto, and a 90 day guarantee I pay for myself.
So the question that remains is how much longer you are willing to pay for things that do nothing for you.

How to make sure you are getting the real thing
If you have read this far, you already know more about why your hair thins than most women are told in a fifteen minute appointment. You know why serums, oils and medications stop short. You know why the copies fail. You know what is in my bottle and what is missing from theirs.
So the only thing left is practical.
One website is us. Everything else is not.
trybloomandbond.com, that is the only one. Any other site selling something called “Bloom and Bond”, “Blooming Bond” or “Bond and Blume” is not mine, and I cannot stand behind a bottle I did not ship.
Four things to check on any label
Look for milligrams
On the back, next to each ingredient. No number, put it down. A brand that is proud of its dose clearly shows its dose.
Look for saw palmetto
Named and measured. One of the two ingredients on its own is half the formula, and an ingredient listed with no number next to it can be almost nothing.
Look for cold pressed
It means the oil got squeezed out of the seed. The other way is to soak the seeds in a chemical and strip the oil off, which is faster and costs less. If a label will not say which one they did, you already know.
Ask for the test
The one that proves the oil is really pumpkin seed oil. We will send you ours. Most sellers cannot send you anything, because there is nothing to send.
