If your curls have been through bleaching, heat styling, or years of sulfate shampoos — and you can feel the difference in how they hold (or don't) through the day — this bar is formulated for exactly that level of repair. Coconut oil is one of the few oils supported by peer-reviewed research to penetrate the hair fiber rather than simply coat it, helping to support the look and feel of a damaged, porous shaft that would otherwise lose definition and expand into frizz. Longsheng fermented rice water delivers amino acids and inositol that fill in structural gaps left by over-processing, so the cuticle lies flatter and holds its shape all day long. The lather is rich and creamy, rinses completely clear, and leaves hair feeling coated and protected — not stripped, not weighed down. Sulfate-free, paraben-free, phthalate-free, pH-balanced, and plastic-free.

*Plant-based and naturally occurring, clean ingredients.

Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate — coconut-derived mild surfactant; produces a creamy lather that cleanses without the cuticle-lifting harshness of traditional soap bars, keeping curl definition intact. (EWG: 1)
Behentrimonium Methosulfate — derived from rapeseed oil; a conditioning agent that detangles and smooths the cuticle during the wash step, reducing mechanical frizz before you even rinse. (EWG: 1)
Longsheng Rice Water — fermented rice water traditionally used by the Red Yao women of southern China; delivers amino acids and inositol that fill structural gaps in over-processed hair, supporting elasticity and curl spring.
Cocoa Butter — cold-pressed from cacao seeds; a rich emollient that seals moisture into the shaft and adds slip, helping curls clump and hold shape. (EWG: 1)
Fragrance* — plant-based and naturally occurring per INCI footnote; provides a sweet, warm coconut scent.
Sodium Lactate — salt of lactic acid derived from fermentation; helps the bar harden cleanly and supports the scalp's natural pH balance. (EWG: 1)
Glycerin — plant-derived humectant; draws moisture toward the hair strand and helps panthenol (Vitamin B5) do its job without weighing strands down. (EWG: 1)
Dragon Fruit Powder — derived from pitaya fruit; rich in antioxidants and Vitamin C that support scalp and strand health while adding a mild brightening effect to the formula.
Cetyl Alcohol — plant-derived fatty alcohol (typically from coconut or palm); a conditioning emollient that adds slip and softness without weighing curls down. (EWG: 1)
Shea Butter — cold-pressed from the shea tree nut; deeply emollient, it coats the cuticle to help lock in moisture and reduce the porosity that makes damaged curls prone to frizz. (EWG: 1)
Butylene Glycol (Plant-Based) — plant-derived solvent and humectant; helps deliver active ingredients evenly through the formula and supports moisture retention in the strand. (EWG: 1)
Stearic Acid — fatty acid derived from plant oils; contributes to the bar's firm, stable structure and adds a conditioning layer to the hair surface. (EWG: 1)
Polyquaternium-10 — cellulose-derived conditioning polymer; coats the cuticle to reduce static and frizz while improving curl definition and combability without silicone buildup. (EWG: 1)
Hydrolyzed Rice Protein — rice protein broken into small peptides; bonds to gaps and cracks along the cuticle surface, smoothing the hair fiber so it reflects light and resists frizz — formulated to support the look and feel of damaged hair.
Broccoli Seed Oil — cold-pressed from broccoli seeds; high in erucic acid, it adds shine and frizz control without the buildup associated with silicone-loaded formulas, so no harsh clarifying wash is needed to remove it. (EWG: 1)
Bamboo Extract — derived from bamboo plant; a plant-sourced ingredient that contributes silica to the formula, supporting a lightweight smoothing effect on the strand surface.
Rice Bran Oil — pressed from the outer layer of rice grains; rich in fatty acids and gamma-oryzanol, it conditions the hair fiber and complements the amino acid action of the rice water.
Vitamin B8 (Inositol) — naturally occurring in rice water; works within the hair fiber to help support elasticity and the look and feel of over-processed curls, complementing the amino acid action of fermented rice water.
Vitamin B5 (Panthenol) — provitamin that converts to pantothenic acid inside the hair shaft; draws moisture in and holds it there, adding flexibility and reducing the brittleness that makes damaged curls collapse. (EWG: 1)
Terabond — a bond-building complex; formulated to help support the internal structure weakened by bleaching and chemical processing, with the goal of helping curls hold their elasticity and shape.
Jojoba Esters — derived from jojoba plant wax; a lightweight conditioning agent that mimics the hair's natural sebum, adding softness and manageability without heavy buildup. (EWG: 1)
Exo-P — a polysaccharide-based protective complex; designed to form a flexible film on the hair surface that may help support the cuticle against environmental stressors between washes.
Vitamin E (Tocopherol) — plant-derived antioxidant; protects the hair fiber and scalp from oxidative stress caused by UV exposure and environmental pollution, common concerns over time. (EWG: 1)
Coconut Oil — cold-pressed from coconut meat; supported by peer-reviewed research (Rele & Mohile) as one of the few oils that penetrates the hair fiber rather than coating it, helping to reduce protein loss in damaged, porous strands. (EWG: 1)
Aloe Vera — gel derived from aloe barbadensis leaf; a lightweight humectant and soothing agent that helps balance scalp comfort and adds a moisture layer to the strand without heaviness. (EWG: 1)

1. Wet your hair thoroughly with warm water — the warmer the water, the more the cuticle opens to receive moisture, so rinse long enough that water runs fully clear through every curl.
2. Rub the bar directly between your palms for 10–15 seconds to build a creamy lather, or glide it gently along the length of your hair from roots toward ends — avoid scrubbing the bar against the scalp in circles, which can cause tangling in 2a–4a curl patterns.
3. Work the lather into your scalp with your fingertips using a gentle massaging motion, then smooth any remaining lather down the length of your strands — the bar is rich enough that a little goes a long way.
4. Rinse thoroughly with cool or lukewarm water until the water runs completely clear — a full rinse is what keeps curls from feeling weighed down or coated after drying.
5. Follow with your preferred conditioner or co-wash, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends where damage and dryness are most concentrated.
6. Apply your leave-in or curl cream to soaking-wet hair, scrunch upward to encourage curl formation, and air-dry or diffuse on low heat — damaged curls benefit from minimal manipulation during drying to preserve the definition the bar has helped rebuild.
