Mielle Organics launches a groundbreaking hair care collection targeting moisture challenges for textured hair. The new Kalahari Melon & Aloe Vera line promises unprecedented hydration solutions.
Science-Driven Hair Care Innovation
A comprehensive study revealed 92% of Black participants desire long-lasting moisture and nourishment. Mielle’s new collection addresses this critical need with advanced formulation.
The five-product lineup includes shampoo, deep conditioner, leave-in conditioner, finishing oil, and curl pattern cream. Each product retails at $15.99 across major retailers like Walmart, Target, and Ulta.
Mielle leverages Kalahari Melon seed oil, sourced from South African desert environments known for intense hydration capabilities.
Brand Commitment to Community Needs
CEO Monique Rodriguez emphasizes the brand’s deep connection to the Black community. “We learned from our Mavens and Mavericks about their most pressing hair challenges,” she explains.
The collection aims to minimize hair management time. Rodriguez believes science-based solutions can help consumers focus more on their passions and ambitions.
Following Procter & Gamble’s acquisition in 2023, Mielle gains enhanced research and development capabilities.
Marketing Strategy Breaks New Ground
Mielle adopts an innovative marketing approach for the collection. Partnerships include social media beauty influencer Jackie Aina and viral hip-hop duo Flyana Boss.
A 30-second commercial and prominent Time Square display will showcase the new line. The brand also launches a five-day hair challenge to engage consumers.
WNBA partnership further expands the collection’s visibility and reach.
