Herbal Essences Brings Back the 90s: Hair care brand Herbal Essences is getting back to its roots, so to speak. The drug store purveyor is feeling the same sense of 90s nostalgia that’s taken hold of the fashion industry by reissuing their classic ‘smooth’ and ‘shine’ botanical collections that were discontinued in 2006. The product, its packaging, and inimitable scents are all the same, save an updated sulfate and silicone-free formula to keep up with current beauty trends. It’s meant to “re-create the impact of the original campaign that resonated so strongly with women in the Nineties but with a modern sensibility,” says Walter Geiger, the company’s vice president.
