About Camille Rose UK

Camille Rose is the natural-ingredient curl line founded by Janell Stephens in New York, built around food-grade botanicals — coconut water, honey, marshmallow root, almond, algae. Best known for edge gels, curl-defining creams and lightweight leave-ins that smell as good as they perform. The brand sits in the natural-ingredient curl-care category alongside Ecoslay and Oyin Handmade.

Brand story

Janell Stephens founded Camille Rose in 2010, naming the brand after her daughter. The brand emerged from kitchen recipes Janell used on her own family's hair — coconut water rinses, almond milk masks, honey-based stylers. The food-grade ingredient philosophy remains central.

Camille Rose is Black-owned and family-operated. The brand has expanded from small-batch online sales to major US retail (Target, Ulta) and UK retail including Zenvy. All products are paraben-free, sulphate-free, and cruelty-free.

Who Camille Rose is for

Type 3-4 curls seeking food-grade natural ingredients without compromising on hold or moisture. Anyone wanting a brand with strong scent profiles (coconut, honey, marshmallow, almond — all distinct). UK curlies in mid-humidity to high-humidity regions (Camille Rose's humectant-rich formulas suit type 3-4 in those conditions).

The Curl Maker is the most-recommended Camille Rose product for first-timers — a defining gel that works across type 3-4 with strong hold and soft finish. The Almond Jai Twisting Butter is the protective-style staple.
