Developed in collaboration with industry renowned founder Adam Reed, ARKIVE is an industry disrupting brand bringing a new form of haircare, ‘Headcare’, to the market, with products that give style to your hair, while caring for your head. Because beyond great hair, and creating great hair, our aim is to create a positive difference to how people feel about themselves.
Headcare made for healthier & happier heads
Meaningfully designed
Our creative studio worked hand-in-hand with Adam to develop an authentic look and feel for ARKIVE. We took a holistic approach, to ensure the brand embodied meaningful references, from the colour palette and typography, to his salon, family and inspiration.
Professional formulas made practical
To formulate ARKIVE’s salon-quality range, we fused Matrix Labs’ expertise in product development with Adam’s inimitable haircare knowledge. The result is a coveted selection of essential nourishing and preventative treatments, such as an oil and serum for your hair and scalp, everyday shampoos and conditioners that perfectly prepare your hair, plus a range of priming and styling products.
All ARKIVE Headcare products are cruelty-free with no nasties, vegan and use recycled plastic in our packaging.
Beautifully and uniquely fragranced
Adam is passionate about fragrance and works as a consultant for two renowned fragrance houses, so it was incredibly important to him to develop unique and memorable scents for ARKIVE. We collaborated to create two signature aromas for the range – Future Bloom and No One Elsie. Both are nostalgic and evocative, conjuring memories from his childhood in Somerset.
