HAIR CARE

ARGAN OIL

Argan oil is the oil extracted from the seeds of the tree Argania spinosa, endemic in the South of Morocco. It is particularly appreciated for its nutritional and cosmetic properties. In the cosmetics industry is also known as Moroccan oil. The Argan forest, which once covered large areas of North Africa, now extends to about 800,000 hectares in the South of Morocco. In 1998 Unesco declared the area of forests of Argania “Biosphere Reserve”. Argan oil hair plays a moisturizing action from within and a protective action from outside. Thanks to Argan oil the hair appears stronger, hydrated and shiny. Argan oil also is not greasy, the hair is perfectly clean, disciplined and with the right sheen. This wonderful oil consists of ingredients that keep the hair healthy with the appropriate nutrition.

ACACIA COLLAGEN

Gum Arabic is a natural rubber also known as Acacia Gum it is extracted from two species of Acacia Sub- Saharan Africa: Acacia Senegal and Acacia Seyal. Like almost all rubbers and resins of vegetal origin, it is produced by the plant as a result of a natural process of “bears” that is activated spontaneously to heal a “wound” to its own surface integrity. From Acacia Gum synthesis you get Acacia collagen. Acacia Collagen is a complex mixture of Polysaccharides and Glycoproteins, Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, Sodium and Mucilage. Acacia Collagen, thanks to its extremely elastic microspheres penetrates into the hair fiber, giving more depth, body and volume.

RICE BRAN OIL

Rice bran oil is obtained from the outer covering of the rice grain and has a light golden color, it is appreciated for its emollient, moisturizing and protective power on the hair. Rice bran oil has a natural protective factor to UV rays. Its composition, perfectly balanced in Oleic, Linoleic Palmitic acids and vitamin E, makes a particularly suitable oil for scavenging free radicals and therefore cutaneous aging while stimulating the vital functions of the skin and hair cells.

MARACUJA

The passion fruit, or maracujà belongs to Passifloraceae, native plants of Brazil and introduced in several countries with tropical and subtropical climates. The passion fruit has a strong fragrance; oval or round and small-medium size, can reach a diameter of 6-8 cm. The skin is thick and robust, wrinkled when ripe; its color ranges from yellow to dark purple depending on the species. The flesh, abundant, gelatinous and perfumed, with a sweet-sour savor and and rosy-yellow shades, contains numerous seeds: It has a strong resemblance to the pomegranate fruit. The passion fruit is composed of 73% water, contains proteins, potassium, iron, magnesium and phosphorus as well as vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamins B2, B3 and B12, vitamin K and Beta-carotene. All these substances give nourishment and support to the hair.

SERICIN

Chemically the silk thread consists of two proteins: Sericin and Fibroin. Silk performs two precious cosmetic actions on the hair: moisturizing and protecting. The Sericin can be used as an alternative to hydrolyzed collagen, Elastin and Keratin. Safety, efficacy, and sensory appeal were demonstrated for the Sericin, particularly as a component similar to the hair and skin keratin while developing a complex similar to the one that is naturally present in the silk fiber. These proteins have the ability to fix the water on the surface (direct hydrating effect) forming a protective layer which reduces the dehydration (indirect hydrating effect).The application of these proteins forms a protective layer which allows the hair to increase its tensile strength. The Sericin, precisely because of its structure of bioprotective adhesive protein has a great affinity with the keratin cuticle’s layer of the hair.

MONGONGO OIL

The Mongongo tree, belongs to the Family Euphorbiaceae, native to Africa, in particular of the Kalahari desert. This tree can reach 15 meters high, and takes the form of a tree with low branches. Grows on the dunes of sandy soils and soils with gravel. The bark of the Mongongo is grey and often scaly. The leaves, which are covered with a fine, downy hair fall into the dry season. These leaves are dark green on top and creamy white on the underside. In October and November small pale flowers appear on the Mongongo tree. The fruit, like a walnut, matures in may, and is mostly round, about 3.5 cm in diameter. The flesh is covered by a skin of a pale green color and the kernels are surrounded by a fibrous shell very hard and coarse. The kernel contains the 38% to 60% of oil that was used since ancient times by African rural communities and the fruit was considered a food staple. PROPERTY: The oil extracted from Mongongo nuts are rich in linoleic acid (between 30% and 54%). Derivatives of linoleic acid are synthesized by our body and are part of the composition of our cell membranes. Mongongo oil has emollient, regenerating and restructuring properties on the hair. Contains a special fatty alpha- Eleostearic acid which polymerizes to form a protective film on the hair. This protective film gives elasticity to the curl. Due to its high content of vitamin E, it performs a strong antioxidant and anti-aging action on the hair.

PETROLATUM FREE
The Petrolatums (Paraffinum liquidum-Petrolatum) are refined petroleum derivatives, film forming properties which prevent proper transpiration and oxygenation of scalp and hair. We preferred to replace them with naturally-derived ingredients more derma-compatible with the same properties, but with less uncertainties for health-consciousness.

SILICON FREE
Silicones are inorganic polymers derived from Silicon, they are produced through chemical synthesis processes. If it is true that they give immediate softness and shine to the hair thanks to their film protective effect, in time they give to the hair a heavy structure. They prohibit also the penetration of the active ingredients by occluding the cuticle’s layers.

SYNTHESIZED DYES FREE
We chose not to use synthetic dyes because our treatments are much more delicate even on the most sensitive skin.

ANIMAL ORIGIN INGREDIENTS FREE
In our formulations the main functional ingredients are from vegetal extracts. We have combined specific natural oils to these extracts which increase the emollient action and nutrition of the hair. By choosing vegetal active ingredients we are protecting the well-being of the consumer.
