Science-Backed Haircare Lines

Courtney Adeleye Unveils an Ocean-Inspired Haircare Line Watch & Sea

After transforming the haircare industry with 'The Mane Choice,' entrepreneur Courtney Adeleye is making waves again with her new venture, 'Watch & Sea.' Known for turning $500 into a $100 million brand acquired for $29 million, Adeleye is back with a science-driven collection rooted in the power of ocean-derived ingredients.

Watch & Sea debuts with the 'Flourishing Collection,' a 10-piece lineup designed to hydrate, strengthen, and promote wellness for all hair types and textures. Key ingredients like sea kelp and seaweed extract infuse the collection with natural nourishment. Standouts include the 'Shimmer & Shine Flourishing Shampoo,' 'Scalp to Ends Flourishing Oil,' and two ingestibles -- a supplement and gummy featuring biotin and marine collagen.

Launching online on December 22 and in Target stores on February 2, Watch & Sea blends community-first values with the latest in hair science. It’s a must-try for anyone seeking holistic haircare with a touch of luxury.
