Luster Products is a generational brand that is considered the product of choice for African American families. With the launch of our new formulas, we provide users versatility, whether they have natural hair or wear chemically treated styles. Luster’s Pink® is the product you’ve always known, but our new, natural formula appeals to an ingredient conscious consumer. We want our customers to think pink again and ‘get loud’ about the exciting changes in our products.”
