It's easier being green with KMS, meet some of their sustainable hair heroes and get you and your clients on a more sustainable path, both in the salon and at home.
The KMS Sustainable Story
KMS is intent on creating products of highest efficacy for all hair types and textures that have a low impact on the environment. Only the highest-quality raw materials are good enough for KMS and every stage of the product life cycle is thought about – from processing to biodegradability. For example, KMS know how precious water resources are, that is why they don't just reduce water content in their formulas, they also innovate on water saving products and minimise water pollution of rinse-out products.
They're all about minimalism when it comes to packaging too. The brand continuously works on reducing the overall amount of packaging material and use more recycled & recyclable components. You might have heard that all KMS products are climate neutral1 - but what does this mean in real terms? Climate neutral means that a product’s carbon emissions have been reduced and unavoidable emissions are compensated to zero with climate protection projects.2 For example, by cooperating with Climate Partner, KMS support a wind farm in northern Morocco that reduces the amount of fossil fuel-based electricity used in the country and that strengthens the role of women in local communities by improving their social and economic situation.
KMS started the Clean Sweep initiative in 2021, which brought in uniform labelling across all of the brand’s digital and physical touch points, from its website to social media channels and marketing materials. The labelling showcases responsible sourcing, mindful water usage, minimalistic and responsible packaging and product and ingredient transparency, all helping to get across the sustainable message to both stylists and their clients.

The Solid Shampoos are formulated with a minimum percentage of water and is therefore saving water with every product made. Due to the solid and water-reduced format, the shampoo comes in a small, sustainable folding box only and saves one regular plastic bottle.
KMS Moist Repair Cleansing Conditioner (300ml) RRP £21.70
Using the MOISTREPAIR Cleansing Conditioner either at the backwash or at-home in the shower means only one rinsing step instead of two. This can shorten shower or backwash time, therefore saving additional water.
