The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
R+Co started in 2006 as a Los Angeles salon brand. Founders Ramirez and Rochlin built a cult following through their styling work. They make shampoos, conditioners, and styling products. The brand gained fame for OBLIVION, a clarifying shampoo that became a salon staple. It stripped product buildup and reset hair texture. Today R+Co operates globally in professional beauty distribution. Their products appear in salons and specialty retailers across North America and Europe. The brand ranks thirteenth among twenty-one thousand tracked beauty and personal care companies. They remain known for technical formulas that solve specific hair problems rather than promise transformation.
