Coconut oil has been touted recently as the latest nutritional wonder (Pacific islanders of yore are said to have enjoyed strong teeth, hearts, abs and flawless skin). Though Creme de Coco Shampoo isn't edible (you might wish it were since it smells so good) its benefits are undeniable; Even the surfactant (the stuff that actually cleanses) is a coconut derivative that lends an unusually luxurious lather.

To make it even richer, another member of the palm family, Astrocaryum Murumuru contributes an extraordinarily rich butter derived from its kernels. More than a few flowers are in the recipe as well: The Mallow adds a soothing effect, and the Milk Thistle contributes its antioxidant properties.

Beauty secrets of the South Pacific are brought to you in this tropic-inspired balm. Coconut oil played an important role in native hair grooming practices, usually blended with aromatic floral extracts. Consider Creme de Coco Conditioner a modern interpretation that makes full use of the humble Coconut - both oil and extract (we've been called cocowahoos in our zeal).

True to tradition, several other botanicals play important roles in this formula. Murumuru Butter and Meadowfoam Seed Oil are both rich moisturizers; Wild Olive Seed Oil is a very effective softener; Horsetail (the flora, not the fauna) and Nettle were both chosen for their ability to promote lustrous hair. The sum is an experience that will leave you dreaming of mythical islands. Enjoy.
