Henkel North America’s Beauty Care Professional business has officially launched STMNT (pronounced statement), a new brand offering a range of effective, high-performing grooming goods with superior formulas and prestige packaging – designed to be accessible to all regardless of gender or style.
A team of disruptors in the barbering industry, creators Sofie Pok aka STAYGOLD, Julius Arriola aka JULIUS CVESAR and Miguel Gutierrez aka NOMAD BARBER collaborated on the new collection to not only contribute to but rewrite the standards of grooming. Made up of four lines, one specifically curated by each creator and a general care line, the STMNT collection features 14 products ranging from shampoos, conditioners and all in one care products to pomades, sprays and powders for both long and short styles.
“Over the past few years, barbering and grooming have evolved. Modern barbering is all about making a statement. It is sophisticated, lifestyle-driven, and genderless,” Caleb Foltermann, General Manager STMNT Grooming Goods US. We wanted to pioneer a brand that was authentic to the movement and made grooming products accessible to all. These three creators embody what it means to be a modern barber and they have the deep expertise to formulate products that are truly effective.”
STAYGOLD
“There is so much we can do in a free-form art as barbering. It’s helped me elevate in so many ways as I connect with different people and inspiration from around the world.”
Designed by L.A-based, award-winning barber and international educator, Sofie Pok, the Staygold Collection is a genderless and lifestyle-driven 3-piece set designed to make an authentic, bold statement with a range that goes beyond the ordinary. Sofie’s dedication to personal growth and technical perfection is reflected in the formulas – from powders to fibres to transformative textures. Products include STMNT Spray Powder, STMNT Wax Powder, and STMNT Fiber Pomade.
JULIUS CVESAR
“Finding your own statement is super special. It should be something that comes from the heart. Be yourself. Make your statement. Manifest greatness.”
Designed by L.A. based barber, educator and show host Julius Arriola, the Julius Cvesar Collection aims to break the mold of grooming standards and inspire people to manifest their own statement in a bold way. These formulas are designed with the ability to cocktail, for truly custom-tailored styling. Products include STMNT Hairspray, STMNT Shine Paste, and STMNT Matte Paste.
NOMAD BARBER
“Traveling the world inspires me in my craft and creation. Embrace the unknown and let the journey become part of you.”
Designed by Miguel Gutierrez, UK based travelling barber, photographer, and storyteller, this collection blends his love of travel and photography with a passion for people and barbering to master his craft. Miguel, STMNT’s Nomad Barber, brings the very best of barbering from around the world to perfect a range of classical products, including STMNT Grooming Spray, STMNT Classic Pomade, and STMNT Dry Clay.
STMNT CARE
Together the founding collective have also created a 5-piece line up of high-performing care products designed to create the perfect canvas for styling. The STMNT Care core collection includes STMNT Shampoo, STMNT Conditioner, STMNT All-In-One Cleanser, STMNT Beard Oil, and a STMNT Bath & Body Cleansing Bar.
STMNT goes beyond the product, this is a brand with purpose. STMNT is grounded in the idea that everyone has an authentic statement to make and people should stand up for what they believe in.
