Seen, a hair care brand founded by Harvard-trained dermatologist Dr. Iris Rubin, has successfully closed a $9 million Series A funding round. This investment aims to support the brand’s mission to develop hair products that are both effective and gentle on sensitive skin.
Notable participants in the funding round include Mitch Rales, co-founder of Danaher Corporation; Somerville; Sator Grove Holdings; and George Mrkonic, a board director at Ulta Beauty. The brand also received initial support from leading Harvard dermatologists and scientists, including Dr. Rox Anderson from Harvard/Massachusetts General Hospital.
“This marks another transformative milestone for Seen,” said Rubin. “A significant number of adults in the U.S. report having sensitive skin, and over 100 million individuals face conditions like acne, eczema, dry scalp, and hair shedding, which can be worsened by irritating or pore-clogging ingredients in hair products. Our goal is to help people feel confident by providing salon-quality hair formulations that are clinically proven to be skin-friendly.”
