What we specialize in

Built for the categories that are hardest to get right.

We formulate across skin, hair, body, sun, and pet care, and perfume — every category to the same standard. In three of them we have gone further, because the formulation problems are specific and the results are obvious to the person using the product.

01All curl patterns, scalp first

Textured hair

We formulate for every curl pattern and routine, and treat the scalp as skin in its own right.

The modern skinification of haircare, an exponentially growing field. Hair care systems that meet specific consumer needs, from cleansing and conditioning, to treatments and styling.

02The whole household, one standard

Pet care

We develop pet formulas to the same standard as human skincare, rather than adapting industrial products.

High standards for every member of your household. Formulations that are mild, functional, and gentle enough for daily use.

03Oil control without stripping

Teen skin

We formulate for a skin barrier that is still developing, instead of giving teenagers adult actives at adult strengths.

Oily, reactive, and still developing — teen skin needs cleansing that does not strip and hydration that does not sit heavy. Our teen-appropriate range is drawn from our skin and hair care lines and built on amino-acid and mild surfactant systems rather than harsh actives.

The full range

Six categories, one standard.
