Prose

Prose is a New York City-based direct-to-consumer beauty company that makes truly custom haircare and skincare. Customers complete an online consultation covering hair type, scalp, lifestyle, diet, and local environment, and Prose then formulates personalized shampoo, conditioner, hair masks, supplements, and skincare made to order and sold primarily through a subscription model. Prose was surfaced as a portfolio company of forerunner-ventures and insight-partners. It operates no public developer API; its verified GitHub organization publishes internal tooling and third-party client libraries only, so this profile carries company identity and a domain-security probe rather than API artifacts.

Prose is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Consumer, Beauty, Haircare, and Skincare.

Prose’s developer surface includes support and 3 more developer resources.
