In 2005, a team of renowned hair stylists and biotech scientists from MIT, led by Dr. Bob Langer, “one of history’s most prolific inventors in medicine,” came together to pioneer a first-of-its-kind haircare philosophy rooted in science.Their purpose? To solve the world’s toughest beauty challenges. With 120 global patents, 450+ formulas, 44 products, and 200+ awards later, we continue to push the boundaries of silicone-free innovation. Drawing from our original formulation philosophy and MIT roots, we develop and invent proprietary, breakthrough solutions by studying the structure of hair and addressing problems at the root, revolutionizing how silicone-free haircare can perform. Today, our HairTech Labs continue to drive innovation through discovery-based formulation, rigorous salon and consumer testing, and thoughtful packaging development. And while our passion for incredible hair comes to life in the lab, it’s sustained by the results we see not simply in brilliant, healthy hair — but our customers.
