Getting To The Root Of Plant-Based Hair Care

A new innovation in vegan hair care has come to Sephora Canada, as The Rootist knows just how to make our scalps thrive. Born from the revitalising biotechnology of David Chung – known for his clean skincare with Farmacy Beauty – this new line’s secret superfood lies in its vegan Rootbiomic Ferment™ which is entirely free of silicone and sulphates. Our roots are nourished by this multivitamin ingredient, created through a proprietary fermentation process that results in a hydrated scalp and strong hair.
