The heart of Rahua: ungurahua oil
The brand Rahua stands for high-quality, sustainable and effective hair care that draws on centuries-old knowledge of the active ingredients of Amazonian plants. This is because Rahua draws inspiration from the traditional beauty secrets of the Quechua-Shuar tribe, who have been utilizing the nourishing power of a particular oil for healthy and radiant hair for generations. The founder of the brand, renowned New York hairdresser and colorist Fabian Lliguin, has Colombian roots and is of indigenous descent. He visited the Amazon rainforest as an environmentalist and noticed the beautiful hair of the indigenous women. Their secret: ungarahua oil. This special oil, extracted from the fruit of the ungarahua palm, is a rich source of antioxidants, essential fatty acids and amino acids and provides the hair with plenty of moisture and nutrients.
Rahua – the power of the rainforest
Rahua’s carefully curated hair care collection embodies the essence of the Amazon rainforest, offering a range of products that can transform your hair from root to tip. Here is a selection of some Rahua essentials:
- Hair: From moisturizing or volumizing shampoos and soothing balms to intensively nourishing hair masks, each formula is enriched with the power of ungurahua oil, leaving the hair feeling particularly soft, supple and radiant. Rahua has also developed products enriched with this miracle oil for hair styling, such as hair wax and hairspray. A practical travel kit contains Rahua shampoos and conditioners in travel sizes so that you don’t have to go without the ultimate hair care when traveling. The Rahua Elixir is particularly concentrated, making it a pure and extremely rich hair oil in which the molecules of ungurahua oil penetrate particularly deeply into the hair. The regenerating omega-9 acids it contains strengthen and stabilize hair and hair follicles and can contribute to healthy and strong hair growth. The Rahua hair care range includes shampoos, conditioners, styling products and treatments, all aimed at catering for different hair types and needs.
- Body: Rahua uses the wonderful caring powers of oil for more than just hair care. When showering, you can pamper your skin with the 100% natural and vegan shower gel from Rahua. In addition to the nourishing properties of ungarahua oil, extracts of quinoa and sacha inchi oil provide intensive hydration. The Palo Santo Oil Perfume has an energizing aroma that is intense and long-lasting thanks to the gentle manufacturing process: just one drop is enough.
