Vegamour CEO Daniel Hodgdon said: “After years of observing how things thrive in nature, it’s clear that when it comes to healthy hair, we should consider the body’s entire ecosystem. Hair wellness is impacted by so many factors—aging, stress, sleep, our environment and especially the things we put into and onto our bodies. At Vegamour we’ve developed a 360° approach to hair health that seeks to address these issues and support a balanced physiological ecosystem conducive to healthy, beautiful hair. As we look ahead, we are excited to be partnering with General Atlantic and leveraging the firm’s deep expertise in helping beauty brands scale globally. We look forward to bringing continued product innovation to the market and making Vegamour accessible on a wider scale as we meet growing consumer demand for natural and sustainable beauty products.”
Andrew Ferrer, managing director at General Atlantic, said: "Vegamour has been a leader in creating a new category in hair wellness and occupies a differentiated position in the marketplace as an efficacious, vegan and clean solution. In partnership with Dan and the Vegamour team, we are excited to accelerate the company’s growth and build upon its proven model.”
