What We Do
Hi there, we’re amika. A friend to hair, hairstylists, her, him, them and you. 10 collections created for every hair type, texture and style - all hair is welcome. We were kind and clean before it was a thing. Cruelty-free, Vegan and free from harsh chemicals like sulfates, parabens, dea, mit, mcit and over 1,300 ingredients on our “no list”. Going greener is top of mind, so we’ve partnered with Terracycle to recycle the unrecyclable and will begin switching to 90% PCR bottles by 2021. Founded in Brooklyn, we’re a collective of creatives, hair stylists, chemists and product enthusiasts. We create the style, products and packaging; take our own photographs and make our own films. We write our own copy and we do our own marketing, sales, finance and education.
