As SEEN, we like to think of ourselves as problem-solvers. Sure, we’re all about developing clean haircare products that provide all of the benefits and the luxurious experience you expect from those you find at the salon—but we do this while being mindful of the skin. You get the hydration, softness, smoothing, and shine you want for your hair without having to worry about clogged pores or irritation if you have sensitive skin.
We also want as many people as possible to be able to enjoy SEEN’s benefits. Anyone with sensitive skin or fragrance sensitivity is covered (since all of our products are available fragrance-free), and we love our vegan friends, too! SEEN has been vegan and cruelty-free since day one, since our love for animals is on par with our dedication to gorgeous hair and healthy skin.
To this end, PETA’s Vegan certification confirms that the entire SEEN line is free of animal-derived ingredients, while the organization’s Animal Test-Free certification confirms that we do not (and will never) conduct or commission animal testing on any ingredients, formulations, or final products. We also have Leaping Bunny cruelty-free certification for extra reassurance that we’re doing the right thing animal testing-wise.
So how does SEEN rival professional, salon-based brands? Our founder, Harvard-trained dermatologist Dr. Iris Rubin, starts with the key ingredients. She researches all of the potential options that can be used to achieve our desired hair goals, ensuring they are safe for sensitive skin, non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores), and sourced from suppliers who adhere to our vegan and cruelty-free standards. In fact, Dr. Rubin has found naturally-derived and safe-synthetic alternatives for several potentially questionable ingredients in her quest to make SEEN as clean and effective as possible. Among them…
Plant-derived squalane: This natural humectant seals moisture within the hair and skin (including the scalp) and prevents moisture loss. Its additional hair benefits include heat protection, reduced breakage, and increased elasticity while enhancing the hairs’ strength, softness, luster, and shine. SEEN only uses plant-derived squalane to ensure our products are vegan-friendly.

Hemisqualane: SEEN’s clean, plant-derived stand-in for silicone, hemisqualane is fast-absorbing, non-greasy, and helps smooth the hairs’ cuticles to reduce frizz while providing protection against damage caused by heat-styling.
