✦ Key ingredients:
-
Kaolin/China Clay— This soft white clay is named after the hill in China (Kao-ling) where it was first mined. It has been used for centuries to make Chinese porcelain. When kaolin is mixed with water, it can be molded under pressure. The shape is retained after the pressure is removed, making it a fantastic base for styling clay.
-
Beeswax—Made by our humble little friends to raise and nourish their young, beeswax has plentiful benefits for our hair. Visually, it adds texture and volume, making it appear stronger and thicker, which means it is easier to mould and style. Beeswax assists in preventing split ends while delivering shine and natural protection from the elements—it’s like the best older brother you ever had. Beeswax has your back.
-
Pracaxi Oil— Found in the deepest, darkest Amazon, Pracaxi oil is obtained by a natural (Chemical-free) cold press process that draws the oil from the seeds and flesh. The secrets of the Pracaxi seed have been widely known in the Amazon for generations, and it has been used on anything from acne and burns to body and hair oil. In Coltrane, it is an excellent conditioning agent that combines with the waxes and clays to leave hair feeling smooth and soft.
-
Brazil Wax— Grandpa might have cleaned his tobacco pipe with it back in the day. Maybe he used it to coat the hull of his boat, enhancing its speed and handling through water. It is still used today in many brands of surf wax for much the same properties. In Coltrane, it helps create the hold and waterproofing to give your look longevity.
