18-MEA Restore Conditioning Treatment Travel Size

50ml travel size

Our flagship product, the 18-MEA Restore Conditioning Treatment, now in a convenient travel/tester size! This is a unique hair treatment that takes a biomimetic approach: it mimics the hair’s natural 18-MEA (18-methyl eicosanoic acid) lipid layer to help restore water-repellent properties, increase shine and improve manageability without weighing the hair down.

Designed with textured hair in mind, while delivering exceptional performance across all hair types, this conditioning treatment combines advanced conditioning agents, hydrating betaine, nourishing pracaxi oil, protein and amodimethicone to restore and nourish the hair.

Think of biomimetic care as formulation inspired by the structures already found in your hair, with softer-feeling, shinier and more manageable hair  strands as the goal.

Our hair care products are specifically formulated in the acidic pH range, which is optimum for hair and scalp health.

HOW TO USE

Use weekly or as needed as a hair treatment mask after washing. Damaged or dry hair may need a weekly application until hair has recovered. Normal hair types can use this mask once to twice monthly as required for a boost. Apply to wet hair, 3cm from the roots, then comb through the hair to ensure all strands are coated. Best left in for 30 minutes then rinsed out, but can also be used as a normal conditioner and left in for a few minutes during your shower routine.

STAR INGREDIENTS

Amodimethicone - selectively binds to damaged, negatively charged areas of the hair shaft without weighing the hair down.

High Performance Conditioning Agents - patented technology to smooth, soften and protect the hair.

Pracaxi Oil - rich in behenic acid, it forms a protective coating around the hair to lock in moisture and reduce frizz.

Hydrating & Protecting Complexes - penetrates the hair cortex, binds to keratin, and strengthens the internal hair fiber.
