Can we give a warm welcome to new-brand-in-town, Original & Mineral, an Australian salon professional brand founded by Jose Bryce Smith, who opened the first ammonia-free salon in Australia 20 years ago with her then partner, a hairdresser who suffered with contact dermatitis.
Nature and luxury
Bringing nature and luxury together in a line of hair colour, care and styling products that are safe, effective and beautiful to use, these limited edition packs have been curated for summer hair woes, offering a full size shampoo and conditioner duo and a complimentary detangling brush. The formulations replace harsh chemicals with active natural extracts and minerals, including native Australian ingredients like Lilly Pilly, Banksia Flower, Quandong, Tasmanian Sea Kelp and Davidson Plum, as well as quality essential oils that deliver real benefits.
The products are made in O&M’s own solar powered factory, and use PCR/Ocean Waste Plastic, aluminium and FSC packaging, partner with recycling program Sustainable Salons ANZ, and are PETA cruelty free certified. What’s more, they’ve been named Best New Hair Launch 2023 in Woman&Home’s 100 Best Beauty Buy Awards.
