This is the yellow tub from the Amazon side of the Skala range, and it is the one to reach for when hair has gone past dry and into brittle: splitting at the ends, snapping when you brush it, dull no matter what you put on it. Passion fruit and patauá oil are the two ingredients doing the work here, and the whole kilo is built around one job on the Brazilian hair schedule – nutrition, the step that puts the oils and lipids back into hair that has been stripped by sun, salt water, heat and bleach.
Why you will love this Maracuja cream
It is thick, buttery and slips through the hair instead of sitting on top of it, so three minutes under a towel does what most masks need twenty to manage. Patauá oil, an Amazonian oil pressed from a palm fruit, nourishes and fortifies the strand so it grows out stronger and softer, while passion fruit puts moisture back and leaves a light tropical scent that stays in the hair after it dries. There are no silicones in it, so nothing is faking the shine and nothing builds up over time.
- One kilo tub that works four different ways: treatment, co-wash, leave-in and pre-shampoo
- Patauá oil and passion fruit for strength and deep nutrition
- Suits every hair type – straight, wavy, curly and coily
- Curly Girl approved and co-wash friendly, as printed on the jar
- Free from parabens, silicones and mineral oil
- 100% vegan, 0% animal origin and not tested on animals
- Made in Brazil by the country’s leading hair care brand
What it does
This is the nutrition step of the Brazilian hair schedule, which is the routine that alternates hydration, nutrition and reconstruction week by week. Nutrition is the oil step: it replaces the natural lipids that shampoo, chlorine, the sun and heat styling strip out, which is what leaves hair rough, dull and prone to snapping. Used weekly it brings back the softness and the movement, and because the same tub also works as a co-wash and a leave-in you can run a whole routine out of one jar.
Who it is for
- Dry, brittle, dull hair that breaks easily
- Hair worn out by the sun, the sea, chlorine or heat styling
- Coloured, bleached or chemically treated hair that needs feeding
- Anyone following the Brazilian hair schedule or a Curly Girl routine
- Every hair type, from straight to tightly coiled
How to use it
As a treatment: apply to washed hair, massage along the whole length for 3 minutes, avoid the roots and rinse out. A heat cap for 15 minutes gives better results. As a co-wash: work a small amount through wet hair and over the scalp, massage with your fingertips as you would a shampoo, then rinse. As a leave-in: spread a small amount through damp or dry hair, do not rinse, and style as usual. As a pre-shampoo: on unwashed hair, apply strand by strand, wrap the hair up, leave 15 minutes, then rinse and wash as normal.
