Introducing Cécred: The Epitome of Haircare Luxury

Beyoncé Knowles-Carter announced the launch of Cécred, a new haircare line that honors global traditions while delivering what hair craves: rich conditioners and fortifying protein, patent-pending technology and fermentation, sensorial luxury and exceptional performance for visible strength, moisture and shine. Inspired by hair rituals from global cultures, the products feature an array of butters, oils, honey, and fermented rice water to nourish hair. Cécred launches with the Foundation Collection, eight products that cleanse, condition, and visibly repair.

Inspired by centuries-old hair rituals from cultures around the world, Cécred's formulations are a fusion of potent ingredients such as butters, oils, honey, and fermented rice water, meticulously curated to nourish and rejuvenate hair. The Foundation Collection, comprising eight meticulously crafted products, promises to cleanse, condition, and visibly repair hair, setting a new standard for haircare excellence.

Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, the visionary behind Cécred, expresses her pride in bringing this project to fruition. As a Black founder, Knowles-Carter has placed scientific innovation and product performance at the forefront, catering to the unique needs of textured hair while championing inclusivity in the haircare industry. Drawing from her personal experiences and lifelong passion for hair, she envisions Cécred as a beacon of excellence, celebrating diverse hair expressions and dispelling prevalent myths and misconceptions.

Knowles-Carter's dedication to haircare stems from her upbringing in her mother's salon, where she witnessed the transformative power of thoughtfully curated formulas. Tina Knowles, renowned for her expertise as a hairstylist and entrepreneur, joins Cécred as vice chairwoman, bringing over four decades of influence and insight to the brand. Together, they envision a future where healthy, vibrant hair is attainable for all.

At the heart of Cécred lies its commitment to innovation and performance. Rejecting industry norms, the brand has invested years in research and testing to address the challenges of moisture restoration, strength, and overall hair health. The result is a meticulously curated range of products that cater to a diverse array of hair textures and conditions, setting a new benchmark for excellence in haircare.

Central to Cécred's ethos is its dedication to inclusivity and community empowerment. Through initiatives such as the BeyGOOD x Cécred Fund, the brand aims to support the professional stylist community by offering scholarships and grants, nurturing talent, and promoting entrepreneurship within the industry.

Cécred's formulations, infused with the signature Temple Oud fragrance, are cruelty-free and formulated under stringent global guidelines for ingredient safety. With the Foundation Collection now available, Cécred invites individuals to embark on a journey of luxurious self-care and hair transformation.
