Chemistry and Technology

For more than 45 years, KMS has researched and manufactured some of the world’s finest hair care products. KMS was founded in 1976 by Dick Kornfield, Jamey Mazzotta and Gary Smith with the vision to fuse innovative technologies with the best of nature and in that way create high-performing products for all types of hair.

KMS started its journey in the laboratory, where the three founders created groundbreaking styling products based on science and hair chemistry. The then unconventional approach challenged the R&D departments of the entire industry and brought on many innovations. Today, research and development are important parts of KMS, that never stops striving for new solutions.

Focus on Sustainability

Already from the start, KMS set their sights on creating environmentally friendly products and to be transparent about the way the products work. This philosophy still lives on today and works as a guiding star that follows the brand into the future.

Ingredients and Sustainable Sourcing
KMS sources the ingredients used in their products sustainably by only using high-quality raw materials. These can not only be effective formula ingredients, but they also need to meet the steadily increasing requirements for sustainability in the way they are manufactured and their ability to decay in nature after usage.

Save water
KMS cares for the valuable water resources that our planet has to offer. That’s why they not only reduce the amount of water in their formulas, but they also develop new product routines and new ways of using the products that also let you, the consumer, save water. Additionally, they carefully select the product ingredients meant to be washed out of the hair to reduce water pollution.

Improved packaging and reduced material use
KMS has a minimalistic and sustainable approach to the choice of packaging material. They continually work to reduce the material used in packaging, to use more recycled components, and how the bottle can be recycled – while guaranteeing the product safety. Always.

Formula
KMS wants to lead the way when it comes to product and ingredient transparency. “What’s inside the bottle” has always been the most important thing to KMS. That’s why you’ll always find an extensive list of ingredients for every product, which also explains what each ingredient in the active formula does for your hair.

KMS strives to have a positive impact on the community and the environment they live in – all the while they design high-quality hair care and styling that let people express their individual style every day.
