  • Virgin Babassu Oil

    Virgin Babassu Oil

    Why We Love It: In the southern region of Brazil lies this amazing carrier oil. Found in Babassu palm, this oil is super emollient and solid and stable at room temperature—like coconut oil (but better). This oil is generally acquired by hand with an axe and a stick of wood, and once attained, the kernels of the Babassu palm are pressed and yield into this luxurious oil.  Rich in vitamins, iron and calcium, this oil renews and moisturizes while serving a strong antibacterial element. We use it in our Coconut Leave-In Conditioner to immensely amp-up the hydration factor. It has long been used to support healing eczema and dry skin, and is the perfect addition to a haircare product to address dryness, shrinkage and tangles.

  • Cetearyl Alcohol

    Cetearyl Alcohol

    Why We Love It: This magic ingredient is an emulsifier, meaning it holds the formula together and enables the oils and liquids in the formula to marry together well – but don’t let the word alcohol scare you. This is not your average drying alcohol. Cetearyl Alcohol is a mixture of  cetyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol. These fatty alcohols are made from coconut and palm oil. They are extremely conditioning, hydrating  and give our products slip, meaning taming and detangling your curls will be easier than ever!

    Our Coconut Almond Leave-In Conditioner and Wash-Out Conditioning Balm rely on this bonding agent to formulate the perfect consistency for natural hair.
