Nourishing Ingredients for Healthy Scalp & Hair

It’s no secret that our meticulously crafted and loving formulas are enriched with key Headcare ingredients. Let's dive into our formulations and explore how each element is carefully chosen to promote not only healthy hair but also a thriving scalp:

For moisturising and hydrating:

Baobab Oil - At the forefront of ARKIVE's loving formulas is Baobab Oil, a powerhouse for adding moisture and shine to your locks. This natural ingredient deeply nourishes the scalp and hair, leaving it hydrated while imparting a radiant shine to your hair.

Aloe Vera – Aloe takes centre stage for its soothing properties. Deeply hydrating, it not only nurtures the scalp but also offers a calming touch for a truly indulgent Headcare experience.

Jojoba Oil – Jojoba Oil is a hero in providing both shine and moisture. It's a versatile powerhouse ingredient that enhances the overall health and appearance of your hair.

Jojoba Esters - To rescue a dehydrated scalp, Jojoba Esters bring much-needed moisture, ensuring your head feels rejuvenated and nourished.

Sweet Almond Oil – A hair care ingredient classic, works its magic by softening and moisturising your hair, leaving it silky and irresistibly touchable.

Polysaccharide Blend –  The Polysaccharide Blend in our formulas works harmoniously to distribute moisture throughout the deeper layers of the scalp, ensuring a well-hydrated and balanced environment.

Betaine – Nature's humectant, Betaine, works wonders by improving shine and optimising scalp moisture. A humectant is like a moisture magnet for your skin or hair. It's a substance that attracts and retains moisture from the air, helping to keep things hydrated. Imagine it as a friendly sponge that draws in water, keeping your skin or hair moisturised and preventing dryness. It ensures that your hair receives the hydration it deserves.

Panthenol – Finally, Panthenol steals the spotlight by providing long-lasting moisture to your hair. It not only hydrates but also helps thicken and improve shine for a radiant finish.

Strengthening and Resilience:

Baobab Protein – If you already know and love ARKIVE you may have already spotted that our formulations feature Baobab Protein, working wonders for hair resilience. It increases strength and elasticity, providing a shield against damage and reducing frizz for a smoother, more manageable mane.

Cleansing and Exfoliating:

Glycolipids – As a sugar-based cleansing agent, Glycolipids ensure a gentle yet effective removal of dirt and build-up, leaving your scalp refreshed.

Bromelain – Derived from pineapple, Bromelain lends its enzyme power for gentle exfoliation. It aids in removing dead skin and dirt, creating a clean canvas for hair growth.

Lactic Acid – An AHA powerhouse, Lactic Acid plays a vital role in exfoliating and renewing the skin on your scalp, ensuring a refreshed and revitalised Headspace.

Succinic Acid – Succinic Acid is the secret behind becoming flake-free. It exfoliates gently, helping to remove flakes and promote a healthier scalp.

Enhancing Shine:

Shea Butter – Shea Butter, a beloved natural ingredient, is the key to glossy, shiny and  supple hair. It leaves your locks with a lustrous shine and a touchable salon-worthy-softness that lasts.

Coconut Oil – Coconut Oil brings high shine and conditioning properties, adding a luxurious touch to your hair care routine.

Promoting Scalp Circulation:

Caffeine – Caffeine takes a spotlight role in promoting blood circulation in the scalp. This not only nurtures healthier follicles but also encourages robust hair growth.

Antioxidant and Sebum Control:

Rosebay Extract – this antioxidant-rich plant extract reduces sebum production and dandruff, contributing to a healthier scalp environment.

Mattifying and Oil Absorption:

Rice Starch and Kaolin - Rice Starch brings a soft touch and mattifying effect to the wax, while Kaolin, known for its oil-absorbing properties, ensures your hair stays fresh and vibrant.

Specific Hair Growth Stimulation:

Green Tea & Larch Tree Extract – This dynamic combination of Green Tea and Larch Tree Extract reactivates follicle stem cells, promoting hair growth and revitalising the very roots of your hair.

Fly-Away Taming and Hold:

Vegetable Wax – this natural wax brings hold to your hair and expertly tames fly-aways, ensuring your hair stays sleek and polished whatever your style.
