Background

The doubts and frustrations with hair products
that only a hairstylist would notice

  • Styling product on your face, running with sweat — that discomfort.

  • Too strongly scented to be easy before cooking, or on days you are meeting people.

  • Hands that have touched product cannot move straight to the next task.

  • A moment of doubt about the ingredients before touching a child or a pet.

and a gentleness born from skincare — in one

Borderless concept

A borderless design

Four ideas a hairstylist found on set,
each one removing a boundary.

  • BORDERLESS 

    No boundary between face and hair

    What you put in your hair stays comfortable on your face, even when it runs with sweat — because it began as skincare.

  • BORDERLESS 

    Every age, every gender

    Fragrance free, naturally derived, and at home in anyone’s hands.

  • BORDERLESS 

    No boundary between people and pets

    Fragrance free and naturally derived, designed to sit comfortably with people and pets alike. Note: formulated with dogs in mind, but not for all animals. Please patch test before use.

  • BORDERLESS 

    No boundary between tool and hand

    A styling product you can apply and move on from without washing your hands — the clean release that professional work demands.

How to use

Blend it to taste,
the way you would season a dish

Start from an unscented base and blend in the oils and textures you like,
the way you would reach for salt, sugar or soy.
Five textures, made your own.

  • Clay

    A moisturising veil that holds hair in place

  • Lotion

    The base layer

  • Oil

    Shine and moisture for hair, nails and skin

  • Balm

    Protects lips, nails and ends

  • Your choice of essential oil

    Add your own scent

Because the base is unscented, the scent is yours to choose. A recipe of your own, in everyday life.

Developer Stories

What a hairstylist noticed
working abroad

TEKOTE began with the frustrations of a hairstylist
who worked with actors and models overseas.

  1. What we heard on set

    Working with actors and models, the same doubts came up again and again:
    "too strongly scented", "it runs onto my face with sweat", "I hesitate before touching my child or my dog".

  2. From a hand cream to a clay base

    A hand cream that happened to be at hand
    turned out to give hair a texture worth keeping.
    A clay-based one went further, holding the hair
    while leaving the hands dry.

  3. A finish that keeps your hands free

    Styling performance, with hands that finish dry.
    That insistence on a texture you can walk away from
    is where TEKOTE began.

FAQ

FAQ

  • Is it really fragrance free?

    Yes. TEKOTE is a fragrance-free formulation, with no added fragrance of any kind — synthetic or natural essential oil.

    You may notice the quiet, natural scent of the raw ingredients themselves, but nothing has been included in order to add scent.

    We did not choose fragrance free because we dislike fragrance.

    We chose it so that the people who wear perfume they love, who work with the aromas of food, coffee, tea or wine, and who work in medicine, care, childcare or hospitality where scent must be considered, can all use it without hesitation.

    TEKOTE is not here to leave an impression through scent. It is here to quietly support the person using it, and the room they are in.

    For us, fragrance free is not about adding nothing. It is a choice made out of respect for the wearer and for the air around them.

  • How do the five differ?

    The five TEKOTE products are not fixed to particular uses.

    Choose the way you would reach for a seasoning: by the state of your hair and skin that day, the season, your mood, the finish you want.

    Because all five are multi-purpose care for hair, skin and hands, you can work by feel — lighter today, richer today, a little more shine today.

    As a rough guide:

    • Smooth: a light, natural veil. The standard, easy to reach for every day.
    • Rich: for dryness, and for a more nourished feel on hair and body.
    • Milky Lotion: fresh and easy to spread, for light moisture on hair and skin alike.
    • Komenuka Oil: for natural shine and softness. A little goes a long way.
    • Balm Matte: for definition and hold, with a matte, natural finish.

    There is no single best one. The range exists so you can enjoy different textures and different feels.

    Many people switch with the seasons, or combine — Smooth on the hands and Balm Matte on the ends; Milky Lotion and Komenuka Oil on the skin; Rich and Komenuka Oil in the hair.

    Find the texture that suits the way you live.

  • Can the whole family use it, including babies and pets?

    TEKOTE was developed with the whole household in mind.

    Because it contains no fragrance and keeps to a simple formulation, many families share a single product between them.

    Babies and small children have very delicate skin, so please start with a small amount and check that the skin reacts well before continuing.

    We have also kept dog owners in mind. The formula is designed so that you can use it on your own hands or hair and then go straight to your dog.

    That said, TEKOTE is a care product for people. It has not been through the safety assessment required of a pet product, so we do not actively recommend applying it directly to dogs.

    Cats and small animals can struggle to metabolise plant-derived ingredients and oils, so please do not apply it to them directly.

    TEKOTE is care for a comfortable everyday — for you, for your family, and for the life you share.

  • Which one should I start with?

    All five TEKOTE products are multi-purpose care for hair, skin and hands. Each has its own texture and its own strengths, so you can choose by preference and by how you live.

    • Smooth: an everyday hand cream, or mixed with a little oil for hair styling.
    • Milky Lotion: mainly for facial moisture, if you prefer a fresher feel.
    • Rich: for dry hands and body, and as a styling cream for hair.
    • Rice Bran Oil: for shine in the hair, or as a face and body oil.
    • Balm Matte: a hair balm, and equally at home on hands, lips and heels.

    None of them is limited to one part of the body. Use them freely on hair, skin and hands.

    Switch between them according to the day, the season and the finish you want, or combine them for broader care.

    TEKOTE is a brand built on choosing by texture rather than by purpose.

    Start with the one that suits your life.

  • It is a styling product — does it not feel sticky?

    TEKOTE was developed to do more than shape hair — it is made to be worked straight into skin and hands as well.

    Rather than the heavy tackiness of a typical styling product, each item has its own texture, chosen so that it settles naturally.

    Balm Matte, for example, gives hair definition and movement, while whatever remains on your hands can go straight onto skin, lips, or anywhere that dries out.

    Smooth and Rice Bran Oil are lighter; Rich is more nourishing; Milky Lotion is fresher. Each has a texture of its own.

    TEKOTE is not designed on the assumption that you will wash your hands after styling.

    What matters to us is that once your hair is done, you can move straight on — to work, to housework, to your children, to a meal.

    Not residue, but only a texture that feels good. That is the care TEKOTE is aiming for.
