Who is Living Proof?

We are problem solvers.  We solve the toughest beauty challenges with science and patented technology originating from MIT. Our founders are hair stylists who were fed up with the limitations of conventional products and scientists from outside the beauty industry with no preconceived notions of what can and can’t be done. Twenty patents, 50 products, and 130 awards later, we have countless love letters thanking us for making products that keep their promises and for changing lives in ways both big and small.  We are not hope in a bottle. We are Living Proof. And so are you.
