About us

Mission statement

Biojunkie’s mission is to produce effective products for Afro, curly and thick hair without harmful chemicals. The products are based on natural ingredients with a focus on the special needs of Afro hair. The products are designed for curly, frizzy, thick hair, dreadlocks and braids. Biojunkie manufactures the products with respect for our health and the environment.

The result is a healthy and beautiful product range, enriched with active moisturizing and nourishing ingredients that comply with EU cosmetics regulations and eco-labels, and the vast majority are certified with the international allergy label AllergyCertified.

Biojunkie therefore offers a hypoallergenic and healthier alternative to conventional Afro hair products available on the current market. All Biojunkie products are developed and manufactured in Denmark.

Vision

Biojunkie provides the opportunity to care for and strengthen our authentic Afro hair with great products, free from problematic substances such as allergens, endocrine disruptors, carcinogens, synthetics and corrosives. We know that Afro hair is strong, flexible and robust.

The story behind Biojunkie

Biojunkie was founded by me, Roza Pedersen, who is a university-trained toxicologist with a focus on harmful chemistry. Personally and through my work, I have become acquainted with afro adults and children who have had their scalp and eyes damaged as a result of problematic substances, including corrosive substances, from hair products. This is often seen in connection with relaxer methods.

In a recent study, hair care products used primarily by black women in the US were found to contain a number of chemicals linked to asthma, hormone disruption and even cancer.

For many years, Afrohair’s needs have been under-prioritized and the consequences have been and still are that we use hair products that are difficult to understand in terms of product efficacy and raw materials used.

My dreams are therefore to provide the best care for our Afro hair (including mixed hair types) with effective, moisturizing and healthy hair products to safeguard our health with pure natural ingredients, because we deserve healthy hair products.

I hope you’ll love the products as much as I do.

Roza Pedersen

Social responsibility

Biojunkie wants to make a positive difference in the world, which is why we support selected organizations in Africa that are based on the same initiatives as us and that reflect our care for people with special needs within Autism, ADHD and Albinism. Children and adults with one or two of these three disorders face multiple challenges, social stigma, exploitation and discrimination from their communities, and persecution by unscrupulous individuals. In sub-Saharan Africa, autistic and ADHD people face stigma as witches. Albinos are often attacked, mutilated and in the worst cases murdered by unscrupulous people in search of money and political power because of the superstition that albinos’ body parts bring them power, great wealth or sexual conquest.
