RŌZ Hair, founded by celebrity stylist Mara Roszak, offers a haircare line that emphasizes sustainability, inclusivity, and planet-friendly ingredients. Drawing from over two decades of experience with diverse hair types, Roszak developed RŌZ to provide high-performance products that are both effective and environmentally conscious. The haircare industry is slowly evolving to incorporate more environmentally conscious packaging and ingredients which is a gap founder Mara Roszak is hoping to fill. The brand’s product range is suitable for a wide range of hair types and textures, promoting a universal appeal committed to inclusivity in the hair industry.
After noticing a gap in the industry for sustainable, high-performance products that are suitable for all hair types, Mara Roszak set out to create RŌZ in 2021. The brand launched with its first product, a lightweight styling oil that could be used across various hair textures which then led to the creation of a wider product range. Roszak is committed to furthering sustainability in the haircare industry with simple solutions such as opting for glass and aluminum packaging to reduce single-use plastic. The brand draws inspiration from California’s natural landscapes, reflecting Roszak’s upbringing and work as a professional stylist in Los Angeles.
“We use aluminum. There are some amazing statistics on aluminum and how its recyclability just far exceeds plastic use. I think it’s 30%, at least, of aluminum bottles that have ever been produced are still being used today, so they’re recycled time and time again.” – Mara Roszak, RŌZ Founder
The brand is rooted in its strong commitment to sustainability from its packaging design, ingredients, and partnership with environmental organizations. The brand utilizes Boox’s reusable packaging, reducing waste by 75% compared to single-use boxes. RŌZ prioritizes eco-friendly materials, using aluminum and glass containers, and incorporating a minimum of 50% post-consumer recycled plastic when plastic is necessary. By partnering with organizations like 1% for the Planet and B Corporation, RŌZ further solidifies its dedication to environmental consciousness. The brand emphasizes the use of nourishing botanicals and lightweight formulas that adhere to EU standards that prioritize hair health without compromising performance. RŌZ’s products are vegan, cruelty-free, and extension-safe, aligning with the growing consumer demand for ethical and sustainable beauty solutions.
RŌZ Hair stands out as a brand as it beautifully blends sustainability, inclusivity, and planet focused ingredients. The brand is opening doors for the industry to follow suit in cultivating more sustainable practices. Sustainable haircare that is suitable for all hair types and textures can be akin to finding a needle in a haystack but RŌZ is on a mission to fill this need. Its thoughtful approach to product development and commitment to environmental and ethical standards make it an easy sustainable swap for consumers seeking more environmentally responsible haircare options.

Everist
Traditional shampoo and conditioner bottles not only fill up landfills but also create an excessive amount of water waste. Shampoo bottles are often made of 70% water, creating more significant carbon emissions when shipping and creating additional unnecessary waste. Everist’s waterless hair and body concentrates are aimed at solving this problem, and it’s the ultimate essential.
