Harakeke: Aotearoa's ancient secret for stronger hair

The Hero Ingredient

Harakeke: Aotearoa's ancient secret for stronger hair

For centuries, Māori have treasured harakeke (New Zealand flax) for its strengthening and protective qualities. Rich in omega fatty acids, its seed oil is rare outside New Zealand — and it's the heart of every bottle we make.

We combine it with rosemary, cold-pressed castor oil, jojoba, cedarwood, eucalyptus and vitamin E — formulated and bottled in small, fresh batches.
