About Us
seed by akimi is the culmination of an idea that germinated over 30 years ago in vietnam. as a child, carolyn luu soaked "bo ket" pods in warm water and used the water to cleanse her hair—a simple, beautiful ritual shared by local women. it always left her hair weightlessly glossy and soft with a subtle, fresh scent.
in her over 20 years as a hair artist and salon owner in the us, carolyn searched for the perfect product to replicate the results of the bo ket pods — mixing different shampoos and conditioners to find the right combination for each of her clients. nothing ever made hair feel the same way the bo ket pods did.
with the help of a client — so many aspects of seed by akimi have been tended to by helping hands — she discovered that bo ket pods were similar to carob bean pods, and that they contain saponins that naturally cleanse and condition hair. seed by akimi is the first commercial hair care to tap the unique potential of natural carob bean.
it took carolyn five years to bring seed by akimi to you. the result is a product that comes from the heart and is filled with positive energy to bring forth beauty in every way.
