The Lab Bench Where it Began

Thirty years ago, two cosmetic chemists met over a lab bench, driven by a shared obsession: the integrity of hair. While the beauty industry chased fleeting trends and marketing gimmicks, they focused on the building blocks—the surfactants, the lipids, and the proteins that actually transform hair at a molecular level.

Between them, they carry 90 years of collective experience in formulation science. They have spent nearly a century decoding the complexities of texture, porosity, and pigment.

From Mass Production to Personal Connection

After decades of formulating for the professional hair salon audience, (both ethnic and general market) they realized something was amiss. The people who understood hair best—professional stylists and salon owners—were being left behind.

They decided it was time to stop formulating for "everyone" and start formulating for the experts.

Ninety years of science. Three decades of partnership. One goal: Hair you can Relish.

Why "RELISH"?

To Relish is to take great pleasure in something; to enjoy it intensely.

  • For the Chemist: It’s the joy of a perfect, stable emulsion.
  • For the Stylist: It’s the satisfaction of a flawless finish and a healthy canvas.
  • For the Client: It’s the confidence of hair that feels as good as it looks.

Our Promise: The Professional First

Relish isn't just another product line; it is a partnership in a bottle. Because our founders are chemists first, we don’t hide behind "mystery ingredients." We prioritize:
  • Bio-Available Ingredients: Formulations that the hair and scalp can actually absorb and utilize.
  • Salon-Grade Efficacy: Concentration levels designed for professional performance, not just a pretty scent.
  • The Salon Ecosystem: We exist to support the craft and the business of salon owners, ensuring they have the tools to deliver transformative results every single time.

Our commitment to sustainability

We're dedicated to creating products that are better for you and the planet

Reducing Product Clutter

By focusing on intentional formulations rather than endless variations, we help salons and homes streamline their shelves, reducing excess while maintaining professional-level performance.

Thoughtful Bottle Upcycling

When possible, we upcycle high-quality bottles from large-scale manufacturers, giving durable materials a second life. This practice helps reduce plastic waste while ensuring our packaging continues to meet the standards of safety, function, and design we believe in.

Solar Supported Manufacturing

Our manufacturing facility operates with the support of solar energy, helping reduce reliance on traditional power sources. As we grow, we’re continuing to expand our solar capabilities to further lower our environmental impact.

Efficient Batch Production

We produce in intentional batches to reduce excess inventory and unnecessary waste. This approach allows us to better manage resources, maintain freshness, and avoid overproduction while meeting professional demand.

Cruelty Free

Never tested on animals. We're committed to ethical practices throughout our entire supply chain.

Responsible Packaging Practices

By reusing and recycling high-quality materials when available, we help limit excess production and extend the life of existing resources through purposeful design.
