OUR PHILOSOPHY
Areté is the only line of professional hair products that helps stylists revere and unlock the alchemic powers of nature.
Our Story
Spanning continents and cultures, alchemists have sought the transformative secrets of nature for millennia, blurring the lines between the tangible and ethereal. Areté continues this pursuit of a fuller, more excellent existence by developing products that combine old-world traditions with modern technology. Through this, we’ve unearthed a golden era for the modern day alchemist - the stylist.
Our Promise
Beauty through conscious creation
The gold standard against animal testing, our Leaping Bunny certification means no animal testing at any stage of development.
We're transparent about ingredient origins and ensure formulas are 99% organic, natural or naturally derived, and have proven benefits for the hair, scalp, and mind.
Areté is certified by the Butterfly Mark, awarded to luxury brands meeting the highest standards of independently verified ESG+ performance.
Where possible, we use 100% wind energy for production. For packaging, we use glass, aluminum and other natural or upcycled materials.
