The Essential Haircare story
More than 20 years ago, Essential Haircare was born from the philosophical idea that the true greatness of human beings lies in the harmony between ethics and aesthetics. As Plato said, “What is beautiful is so only if it is also good, and what is good can only be beautiful”.
Today, as the manifesto range steps into a new era, its evolution demonstrates our tireless pursuit of beauty that is good and fair for the world, and our commitment to never stop exploring new ways to do what is right for our customers and our planet.
To truly understand the evolution Essential Haircare has been through, we need to travel back through time…
