MORE DETAILS+
Long lasting, natural anti-frizz care for the hair. As apposed to damaging silicone and synthetic smoothing products, this balm will penetrate into the hair follicle to protect and nourish as well as smoothing the hair shaft to provide shine. Every time this product is used you are treating and protecting your hair.
Key ingredients include:
RAHUA (UNGURAHUA): Amazonian women have for time and memorial depended on the oil from this tree nut to nurture and strengthen their hair. It fortifies weak, damaged strands, nourishes and maintains hair follicle and scalp health, and its super-fine molecules push colour pigmentation deep into the hair shaft, greatly extending colour endurance. Symbiotic®*
SACHA INCHI: A longtime food source in the Amazon, these seeds are exceptionally rich in Omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants including Vitamins A and E. Sacha Inchi oil works to lock in hair’s moisture and condition and soothe the scalp. Symbiotic®*
MORETE OIL: Rich in Vitamins A, C, and E, essential fatty acids, tocopherols, and carotenoids, especially Beta-Carotene Oil, this Amazonian fruit’s flesh protects hair from damaging UVA rays. Symbiotic®*
COCOA SEED BUTTER: Derived from the Cacao Seed native to South America, this natural, reparative emollient nourishes, softens and strengthens hair.
GARDENIA ENFLEURAGE OIL: Symbolising purity and sweetness, this flower has a sultry, exotic scent. A centuries-old enfleurage process is used to extract the fragrance’s purest essence and maintain its antioxidants.
*Symbiotic® is Rahua®’s signature standard. In order for an ingredient to be classified as Symbiotic®, it must be rainforest grown (wild) in undisturbed virgin forest, harvested and prepared using indigenous knowledge by people indigenous to the virgin forest environment, and it must be purchased at a price that helps to grow and sustain these traditions, build economies, and empower the indigenous people.

ABOUT THE BRAND+
For centuries, women from the Quechua-Shuar tribes have travelled deep into the Amazon rainforest to prepare a highly potent, restorative oil they call Rahua (ra-wa) – believing it to be the secret to their thick, flowing, lustrous hair.
The key to Rahua’s outstanding performance is its molecular structure. Unlike other botanical oils that simply coat strands, the extraordinarily small Rahua oil molecule deeply penetrates the hair’s cortex – bonding and repairing it – while simultaneously smoothing the hair’s cuticle. The company prides itself in building this earth-friendly, sustainable business in partnership with women from Amazonian nations. All the Rahua and ungurahua oils are sourced and processed by these women and men in accordance with the traditional methods that have been passed down for generations.
