Key Ingredients
DESERT HARVEST INGREDIENTS**
Sustainably harvested and extracted from the Australian desert, our Desert Harvest Blend is a hero complex of exotic fruits and seeds that bring radiant health benefits to the hair and scalp.
Desert Peach / Quandong Fruit** is a unique superfood due to it's ability to flourish in dry conditions. Learning from mother nature, we've harnessed the moisture retention powers of this desert fruit to keep the hair healthy and hydrated during the color process. Rich in antioxidants, Vitamin C & E, and phenolic acids, these properties condition and protect the hair and scalp from oxidative stress.
Desert Lime** is rich in methoxy flavone ghycosides – limnocitrin. Glycosides are skin healers, making them natural repairers of the scalp. It also helps in absorption of vital nutrients needed for healthy hair.
Wattle Seed** is a native Australian plant-based protein aids in cell regeneration and synthesis of keratin during the color process. Rich in Folate, B12, Zinc, Magnesium to prevent damage of the hair, skin and scalp.
Signature Oil Blend is a nourishing super duo of native Australian-certified Organic Macadamia Oil and Organic Coconut Oil. Together, they enhance hair color vibrancy and longevity, calms frizzy/unruly hair and promotes healthy hair growth by conditioning the scalp.
