The Nourishing Hair Mask
key active ingredients
Avocado Oil
Avocado Oil is 72% monounsaturated fatty acids, higher than Coconut or Grapeseed oils. Avocado Oil mixes with water better than other oils.
Avocado oil readily penetrates into the hair strand and even the hair cortex.  Avocado Oil doesn’t sit on the scalp like Coconut oil. Avocado oil decreases dryness and improves texture on hair.

Date oil is rich in fatty acids
Phoenix Dactylifera Fruit Extract
Better known as Date oil. Date oil has an antioxidant profile similar to Olive Oil.
It also has the four fatty acids oleic, linoleic, lauric and palmitic acid. These fatty acids reduce moisture loss in the hair and keep the hair cuticle sealed.
It is rich in vitamins including Vitamin B2, also known as Riboflavin. Riboflavin promotes hair elasticity and helps hair build protein.
Date Oil is especially good at reviving dull, dry, and brittle hair.
Panthenol
Panthenol is Vitamin B5.
Panthenol is moisture-binding and soothing, It instantly makes hair look healthier by boosting shine and plumping the hair shaft.
Argan
Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil
Argan Nut Oil deeply hydrates and softens dry hair. Argan is an anti-oxidant, fatty acid hair superfood.
It also promotes elasticity. Improved elasticity gives hair strength and bouncy movement. It also reduces hair breakage.
Argan oil massaged into the scalp aids in stimulating hair growth.
Hydrolyzed Keratin
Hair is mostly Keratin, it is the structural protein of hair. Hydrolyzed keratin is keratin broken down into small enough pieces to absorb into the hair.
Hydrolyzed Keratin can fill the microscopic gaps in the cuticle, cortex, and medulla of the hair. This gives hair temporary strength. It also makes hair reflect light and look shiny.
Consistent Hydrolyzed keratin use helps high porosity hair resist breakage and grow longer.
Jojoba Seed Oil
Simmondsia Chinensis Seed oil
Jojoba oil is an emollient, made of 98% monounsaturated fats. Jojoba gives elasticity and softness to hair. Jojoba is a carrier oil, increasing the efficacy of other active ingredients. As a carrier oil, it enhances the ingredients it is paired with instead of creating a barrier.
Jojoba seed oil hydrates and nourishes while cleansing the scalp of impurities. It removes excess sebum, dandruff, and flakes blocking follicles. It moisturizes dry hair.
Propolis is a bee product
Propolis Extract
Propolis Extract is a bee bi-product. It is sometimes called “bee glueâ€. It is cuticle smoothing, softening, and hydrating. It also causes temporary hair plumping action.
Rich in vitamins, it feeds the hair. Propolis Extract contains the amino acid L‑Cysteine which strengthens the hair strand.
Glycerin
Glycerin is a natural humectant that helps hair to retain moisture. This is particularly important for thirsty coarse and curly hair. These hair types have a wider diameter, which means more surface to lose moisture and feel dry.
Tocopheryl Acetate
Tocopheryl Acetate is Vitamin E. E makes damaged skin soft and pliable again.

The Experience
Nourishing Hair Mask
The Mask
Texture
It is a very thick cream. Thicker and richer than a curd or custard consistency. Not at all greasy or slimy.
Warm and rub it between your hands first to apply it to wet hair. Â About a tablespoon was enough for my almost bra strap length hair. It spreads well and has a nice slick.
The masque is thick, creamy, and rich. A little goes a long way
Use in the shower and let it sink in for 5-7 minutes. Â It also works wonderfully steamed in with my facial steamer. Rinse with cool water to seal the cuticle. It rinses away clean without a residue.
It comes with a sturdy inner seal to keep the mask fresh.
scent
There is a pleasant aromatic scent. It lingers a bit even after rinsing.
result
Hair feels smoother, thicker, and much stronger. It looks so healthy and shiny!
The Treatment Oil
I like to shake it well and warm a few drops between my hands and smooth it over my hair. It is filled with hair growing nutrients and makes for a marvelous restorative scalp massage!
The bottle has a sealed inverted dropper top to reduce waste, only dispense what you need.
It leaves my coarse hair looking smoother and shiny.
