Our Mission

At Prose, beauty is personal. We create truly custom haircare + skincare that’s tailored to the individual because we know that Personalization Works BetterTM. We have the clinical results and over 500K+ 5-star product reviews on Review & Refine® to prove it. Every formula is personalized according to an in-depth consultation that takes into account over 80 factors — from diet to lifestyle, stress levels to ZIP code. This data is processed through a proprietary algorithm and made to order in the Prose lab using naturally powerful + proven-effective ingredients.

This is the opportunity to join a major DTC beauty-tech brand and an energetic team that is transforming the way people think about and shop for personalized beauty. As a certified B Corporation, and the first and only carbon-neutral custom beauty brand, sustainability and social impact are at the heart of everything we do. We’re doing away with one-size-fits-all beauty standards and creating more inclusive spaces for uplifting the beauty of the individual.
