Our Nature Loving Ingredients

Our ingredients matter to us. It's the difference between temporary and long-lasting results, build-up and absorption and hydrated curls.

 Our curl care recipes are made for those who expect the best and want the most results from their curl care while wanting it to be natural. To us, natural is only the beginning.

Conventional brands use natural ingredients at low levels, alongside fillers to make products feel thicker and to make the hair feel more coated. This often results in excess build-up. We formulate our products with a high proportion of botanically-derived raw ingredients so that less means more, and a little goes a long way — the compliment we receive often from our customers! Botanicals are extracts, waters, powders, oils and butters derived directly from flowers, herbs, nuts, seeds, roots, leaves, barks and berries.

 Not all ingredients are created equally. Learn more about our own ingredient selection to understand how we derive them:

Real ingredients

We avoid artificial oils that are common in haircare products such as Mineral oil and Cyclopentasiloxane. Unlike the beauty that radiates from golden, green and yellow plant-derived oils, Mineral oil is a colourless and odorless liquid. It is a by-product of crude oil. Cyclopentasiloxane is derived from silicone. There is a huge difference in real benefits between oils created in a lab vs. plant derived oils that nature provides like the ones we use in our plant powered formulas.

Raw ingredients

We select the highest quality and purest plant-derived oils and butters so that they are unrefined and cold-pressed (retaining their colour, natural scent and effectiveness). We select unrefined oils such as virgin olive oil. We select high performance botanical actives that deliver extra results with sensorial aromas. Combined with naturally-derived innovative ingredients, our goal is to deliver the right results to help you meet your curl goals.

Biodegradable ingredients

The added benefit of natural ingredients is that they are better for the environment. The term biodegradable means that ingredients have the ability to decompose in the environment naturally.
