Hair care products come in contact with your skin while you wash and condition, as well as for hours after styling—yet most hair care products aren’t developed with the skin in mind. That’s what makes SEEN different. We’ve created hair care that doubles as skincare with non-irritating products that won’t clog pores, so you don’t have to decide between healthy hair or healthy skin—you can finally have both!
Our founder, Harvard-trained dermatologist Dr. Iris Rubin, created SEEN when she realized her salon visits were often followed by breakouts. She started by taking a closer look at the ingredients that are found in most hair care products—and eliminated the ones that could clog the pores, contribute to breakouts, or cause irritation. Dr. Rubin couldn’t simply take them away without adding skin-friendly alternatives, and the result is a full range of clean, non-irritating, non-comedogenic hair care products that respect the skin and scalp while giving you stronger, smoother, healthier hair.
We’re proud of the fact that SEEN products are free of pore-clogging oils, silicones, sulfates, phthalates, parabens, dyes, and gluten. But we’re even more excited about the carefully selected replacements that help ensure SEEN delivers beautiful, healthy hair while being mindful of the skin.
Plant-derived squalane: This natural humectant seals moisture within the hair, prevents moisture loss, provides heat protection, reduces breakage, and increases elasticity while enhancing the hairs’ strength, softness, luster, and shine. We only use plant-derived squalane to ensure our products are vegan-friendly.

Many people mistakenly think that “clean” products are “all-natural” and this simply isn’t the case. Not all “natural” ingredients are skin-friendly (take poison ivy, for example), nor is every synthetic ingredient bad. They key is finding ingredients that provide the benefits you want without the potential side effects you don’t. SEEN believes in using natural ingredients whenever possible, along with safe, synthetic ingredients that help provide the optimal hair and skin experience.
