Beyond the aisle
Where beauty multiplies choice, we reduce it. One formulation, developed for a specific moment.
Hair responds to its environment. Each edition is formulated with climate, exposure, and daily wear in mind.
Edition.01 / Hydrate / Spring 2027
Birch sap, green tea, white musk.
Spring air is dry and moving. Hair carries the winter behind it and the wind in front of it. Hydrate.01 is formulated for that gap.
Shampoo and conditioner. Price confirmed at launch. Issued for its season, then archived.

The name
Dark to light
A hill in County Meath, where a fire was lit at the turning of the season to mark the year's shift from dark to light.
It is also the founder's surname.
