We believe luxury and honesty are not in conflict. KRY OPAL publishes every ingredient we use — and every ingredient we refuse — because you deserve to know exactly what you put on your body.

Synthetic preservatives. Classified as endocrine disruptors. Found in breast tissue samples.

Silicones & Dimethicone
Creates the illusion of smooth hair while sealing in damage and blocking moisture.
✕

Polyethylene Glycols (PEGs)
Petroleum-derived. May be contaminated with ethylene oxide (a known carcinogen).
✕
Formaldehyde-Releasing Agents
DMDM Hydantoin and others release formaldehyde over time as a preservative mechanism.
Our Promise
We call this the standard. Others call it a transparency page.
KRY OPAL holds every formula to the same test: would we use this on our own scalp, knowing every ingredient? If the answer is anything less than an unqualified yes, it doesn't make it in.
