The History of Alterna - Luxury Without Compromise

Alterna launched in 1997 with a mission to reset the standard in luxury haircare. At the time, there was a noticeable gap between luxury and performance on the market. We wanted to push the envelope – to go beyond the standard shampoo and condition and turn it into an experience where you can feel the difference instantly. We set out to create premium products, free of additives and harsh chemicals with results you can see after the very first use. Using proprietary blends such as our Enzymetherapy and Age-Control Complex, we developed a new, high-performance standard in haircare. Armed with the science of skincare and our “free of” formulas, stylists and consumers around the world have found an effective solution in our line that continues to stay true to our ethos. Since inception, Alterna continues to be among the first brands to provide formulas enriched with active botanicals that are free of added sulfates, parabens, and synthetic colors. With blends that aim to restore the look and feel of healthy, shiny hair, we pride ourselves on using sustainably and ethically sourced ingredients that optimizes the strength of each strand.
