K18, a high-performance biotech hair care brand, is expanding into Sephora on December 21, 2021.
The brand will make its Sephora debut Tuesday December 21 on Sephora.com and will be available in-store at all 502 U.S. stores beginning Sunday December 26.
The peptide, a unique amino acid sequence, works on a molecular level to restore hair back to like-new strength and elasticity. By reaching the innermost layers of hair and reconnecting broken keratin chains—a result of bleaching, chemical services, and heat damage—the peptide provides lasting renewal instead of temporarily patching damage.
Biomimetics, the practice of learning from and mimicking nature, is a key component to K18's unparalleled Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask formula. Imitating the natural structure of keratin building blocks (amino acid sequences), the K18 bioactive peptide is the perfect size and molecular structure to seamlessly fit in and reconnect broken keratin chains. Recognized as natural by the hair, it's not washed away by water or shampoo like traditional bonding agents.
"Nature is the best designer, and we've found by understanding the biology of hair you can achieve what you've always wanted, true hair health and full expression with less. Less product, less frustration, less damage," commented founder Suveen Sahib. "We are elated to join forces with Sephora as amazing partners on our crusade to liberate hair care. No one should have to choose between healthy hair and hair that looks the way they want it to – and now the diverse, curious community of beauty lovers at Sephora never have to make that compromise. We are ready to share this innovation with even more people and are so excited Sephora sees the value of molecular repair that actually works across all hair types."
"Sephora is thrilled to partner with K18 and continue bringing the best innovation in hair care to our clients," said Jennifer Lucchese, VP Haircare Merchandising at Sephora. "K18 is a disruptive, results-driven brand that is focused on solving hair damage for clients of all hair types and textures and we are so excited to introduce them to our Sephora community."
Following the brand's retail expansion, K18 looks forward to unveiling more large-scale social and consumer initiatives, educating on the science behind hair, and bringing additional innovative, results-driven products to the market in 2022.

K18’s Unique Approach to Hair Care
Founded by tech industry veteran Suveen Sahib, K18 offers a uniquely scientific approach to hair care. The K18Peptide—clinically proven to reverse hair damage in four minutes—was developed by applying computational models with sequence analogy used in biotech to the molecular structure of human hair.The peptide, a unique amino acid sequence, works on a molecular level to restore hair back to like-new strength and elasticity. By reaching the innermost layers of hair and reconnecting broken keratin chains—a result of bleaching, chemical services, and heat damage—the peptide provides lasting renewal instead of temporarily patching damage.
Reaching a New Audience
The brand will reach a new audience through this partnership with Sephora, educating consumers about why the science behind hair not only has a place in their self-care routine but is ushering in the next era of hair health.Biomimetics, the practice of learning from and mimicking nature, is a key component to K18's unparalleled Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask formula.
