The Woman Behind NitFlix®

Meet Grace Ratto, RN -Your Saving Grace!

A critical care nurse for 30 years who also practiced as a Certified Clinical Perfusionist, Grace refused to accept harsh, pesticide-based lice treatments as the only practical choice – so she set out to create a gentler, more thoughtful alternative.

The Woman Behind NitFlix®

Why a Critical Care Nurse Started a Lice Company

After 30 years working in critical care, first as a Registered Nurse and then as a Certified Cardiovascular Perfusionist, operating the heart-lung machine for open-heart surgery, Grace Ratto had seen firsthand what chemicals can do to the human body.

When her child came home from school with head lice, her first instinct was the same as any parent’s: find a solution fast. But when she read the ingredient labels on the standard over-the-counter treatments, her clinical training set off every alarm bell she had.

Permethrin is a synthetic pyrethroid that acts on the nervous system of lice. After spending my career in critical care, where precision and safety were paramount, I wasn’t comfortable applying it directly to my child’s scalp.

Grace spent the next several years researching the biology of head lice, studying botanical alternatives, and formulating what would eventually become Grace’s NitFlix®.

She first collaborated with Belegenza, an exceptional clean-beauty company, to establish a salon-quality foundation. She then hired a former Research and Development Director from one of the world’s leading beauty manufacturers to develop a formula that delivers exceptional results without relying on harsh chemicals.

NitFlix® is becoming a trusted choice among nurses, healthcare practitioners, teachers, parents, and others who refuse to choose between effectiveness and safety.

Grace still personally answers customer calls. She still consults with school nurses at no charge. And she still uses NitFlix® on her own family every single day.

"My teen daughter started using NitFlix® years ago. Her friend's daughter had lice after a sleepover in the same bed. My daughter did NOT have any nits or lice. I recommend this without hesitation."
