Composition

What went into it

Sorted by polymer and colour at the counter, so the finish comes from the packaging that produced it.

Chain of custody

Every hand it passed through

Each transfer is weighed and signed. Mass is reconciled end to end, so nothing is claimed that cannot be accounted for.

Merchandise label

The comb in your gift bag

Gift-with-purchase objects are cut from the offcut of panel runs, so the same press batch that produced a store fixture also produces the thing you take home. The code is laser-etched into the underside rather than printed, because a sticker will not survive the object's second life.

Scanning it opens this same passport at the merchandise entry: the bottle count for that press batch, the counters the empties came from, and the date it was cut.

Flagship counter label

The counter at the flagship

The Noir finish draws from a separate stream: black serum bottles, lacquered cases and professional packaging, sorted apart at the counter so the charcoal comes from the packaging rather than from added pigment. Same certified panel, same recovery loop.

On a prestige counter the code is not printed on the surface. It sits on a small brushed plate at the service edge, at the height a customer already leans on.

  • FinishNoir
  • StreamLuxe & professional
  • MarkBrushed plate, service edge
  • RecoveryOn counter refresh

The loop is not finished.

This panel comes back to us in November and becomes the next one. Bring your empties to any participating counter and they enter the same chain.
