Ingredients

NATURAL INGREDIENTS

Our natural ingredients originate from plants, minerals or microbes and are extracted using physical processes or natural solvents like water or vegetable glycerin.

 

Acacia Senegal Gum

Natural sap produced by acacia trees in sub-Saharan Africa. The sap is hand-harvested through an eco-friendly process and provides an important source of income for the local communities. Acacia gum is a natural alternative to PVP and other synthetic hair fixatives. It boosts volume and offers flexible styling hold. 

Actinidia Chinensis Fruit Extract / Kiwifruit

Extracted from the fruit pulp of locally sourced Kiwifruit. High in antioxidants, including Vitamin C and polyphenols. Helps to preserve hair integrity by defending against free radical damage.

Avena Sativa Kernel Flour / Colloidal Oat (Organic)

A pharmaceutical grade preparation made from organically grown wholegrain oats. Colloidal oat is recognised as a skin protectant and soothing agent. It acts as a gentle cleanser, moisturiser, and protective ingredient. 

Bentonite

A mineral-rich clay composed of aged volcanic ash that has mild cleansing and oil absorbing properties. Sourced from the foothills of the Southern Alps in Aotearoa New Zealand. 

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter / Shea (Organic)

Pressed from the kernels of the shea tree, this creamy plant butter has a proven moisturising and a skin barrier enhancing effect. Rich in unsaponifiables that nourish and condition the scalp and hair. Certified Organic and Fair for Life. 

Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil / Hemp

Cold-pressed from locally grown hemp, this unique oil is rich in essential omega fatty acids. It strengthens weakened hair, minimising breakage while enhancing detangling, restoring softness and boosting shine. 

Cera Alba / Beeswax (Organic)

Organic beeswax sourced from local beehives around Aotearoa using ecological beekeeping practices. A unique, protective ingredient that creates definition and flexible hold while keeping hair smooth and conditioned. 

Cocos Nucifera Oil / Coconut (Organic)

One of the only natural oils that has been proven to penetrate the hair shaft. It significantly reduces cuticle damage during washing, combing and heat styling when used as a leave-in or pre-wash treatment. We use cold-pressed, certified organic coconut oil that is produced by Pacific Island communities through equitable partnerships.

Copernicia Prunifera Wax / Carnauba

A hard, botanical wax that helps to shape and hold hair in place, while smoothing the cuticle for a protective effect. The wax is wild-harvested from trees that grow in Northeastern Brazil. The leaves are cut and dried in the sun to extract the wax, a process that does not harm the tree or the environment and provides jobs for local communities.

Glycine Soja Oil / Soybean

A moisturising oil that is rich in lecithin, sterolins and vitamin E. It helps to restore skin barrier function and protect the hair and skin against oxidative processes.

Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil / Sunflower

Cold pressed from the seeds of sunflowers grown in Aotearoa. High in mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids that nourish the scalp and hair. Enhances shine and diminishes friction for healthy, strong hair from root to tip.

Hordeum Vulgare Powder / Barley

An ultra-fine starch extracted from Scandinavian grown barley and produced from a side-stream of the beverage industry that would otherwise go to waste. Barley starch effectively absorbs oil and leaves an invisible finish. 

Kaolin

A mineral-rich clay that absorbs excess oil and impurities from the scalp and hair. Sourced from Australia. 

Magnesium Sulfate / Epsom Salt

A naturally occurring mineral found in seawater and underground deposits. It boosts wave, curl and volume - just like a swim in the ocean. We source ours from natural deposits in Germany.

Maris Sal / Sea Salt

Ecologically harvested from the South Pacific Ocean surrounding Aotearoa New Zealand and dried through solar evaporation to maintain the natural balance of minerals. Sea salt helps to recreate the perfect beach hair texture.

Parfum

Bespoke 100% natural fragrance hand-blended by local perfumers using essential oils and natural isolates from plants. We follow the International Fragrance Association (IFRA) standards for the safe use of fragrance ingredients in our products.

Ribes Nigrum Seed Oil / Blackcurrant 

Rich in omega fatty acids, blackcurrant seed oil helps to retain moisture in the hair fibre, naturally increasing strength and resilience against damage. We use oil cold-pressed from blackcurrant seeds grown in the South Island of Aotearoa New Zealand.

Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract / Rosemary

A potent antioxidant with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Helps to prevent oxidative damage to the skin and hair, while also soothing dry and irritated skin. 

Santalum Spicata Wood Powder / Sandalwood (Wildcrafted)

A superfine powder with purifying properties and a fresh, woody scent. Made from wild sandalwood that has died naturally and is collected from the Western Australian Desert. Our supplier works in partnership with Aboriginal communities to harvest and produce their sandalwood products. 

Silica / Bamboo Extract 

Extracted from the stems of bamboo, which are rich in bio-silica. The superfine powder particles are porous and readily absorb oil while adding volume to the hair. 

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil / Jojoba (Organic)

This unique oil is actually a liquid wax that is similar to the skin’s natural sebum. It forms a non-greasy, protective film that prevents moisture loss and makes skin and hair smooth, soft and supple. We use certified organic oil from Argentina. 

Tapioca Starch (Organic)

Extracted from the root of the cassava shrub, this silky powder is an excellent oil absorber that doesn’t dry out the scalp.

Tocopherol / Vitamin E

Extracted from seed oils, this natural vitamin is a potent antioxidant with protective, soothing and moisturising benefits for the skin and hair.
