A dry oil for hair and body that shields the hair fibre from photodegradation and replaces the lipids stripped by sun, salt, and sand, so strands stay smooth and skin stays supple through the summer. Powered by rice bran oil, rich in gamma-oryzanol and tocopherols that absorb UV and quench free radicals, organic pomegranate seed oil with punicic acid to rebuild the barrier lipid layer, and upcycled peach kernel extract to soften and add slip. The 100% plant-derived formula is anhydrous and volatile-light, so it absorbs without weight or grease.

✽ UV Shield: Gamma-oryzanol and tocopherols from rice bran oil absorb UV radiation and limit protein degradation in the hair fibre
✽ Barrier Lipids: Organic pomegranate seed oil delivers punicic acid, a rare conjugated fatty acid that rebuilds the skin's lipid barrier
✽ Salt & Sand Defence: A continuous oil film on the cuticle keeps salt crystals and sand from abrading the outer layer
✽ Dry Touch: Volatile plant alkanes and coco-caprylate carry the actives in and evaporate, leaving no film on hair or skin

★★★★☆ ChristineVerified buyer

Love the scent! Definitely helps with tangles at the ends. If I put any above mid length, my hair does go flat faster. I love using it on my skin! It doesn’t stay on greasy. Which I was pleasantly surprised by. I need to give it a few more months to see how it helps with prevention of UV on hair color though.

The ritual.

✽ Hair: Apply to dry or damp hair before sun exposure, focusing on the ends. Reapply during prolonged sun exposure.
✽ Body: Smooth onto skin after sun exposure, massaging until fully absorbed. Reapply as needed to maintain hydration and comfort.
