Brazilian Power Ingredients for Hair Growth & Strength
Each Maracujá formula combines carefully chosen Brazilian botanicals that work synergistically to strengthen, fortify, and accelerate growth. Brazil is our secret formula—we combine the best natural ingredients from our country to transform your hair. Discover the key active ingredients:
Patauá Oil (Oenocarpus Bataua)
The star ingredient—known as “Amazonian Olive Oil.” This powerful Amazonian botanical is rich in omega-9 fatty acids and helps accelerate hair growth while fortifying strands from root to tip. Patauá Oil deeply nourishes, strengthens the hair structure, and prevents breakage—essential for achieving longer, healthier hair faster.
Passion Fruit Extract (Passiflora Incarnata)
Brazilian Passion Fruit (Maracujá) delivers vitamins A and C that protect and strengthen hair while adding that irresistible tropical scent. Rich in antioxidants, it shields strands from environmental damage, promotes scalp health, and enhances overall hair resilience. The vitamin C boosts collagen production for stronger, more elastic hair.
D-Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5)
This intensive humectant penetrates deep into the hair cortex, delivering internal hydration and strength. D-Panthenol fortifies individual strands, enhances elasticity, and forms a protective moisture seal. Crucial for preventing breakage in weak or damaged hair requiring fortification.
Shea Butter Cetyl Esters
This luxurious emollient softens and seals the cuticle layer while providing deep conditioning. Shea Butter delivers sustained moisture and strength without heaviness, making it ideal for all hair types. Helps maintain the integrity of chemically treated or heat-damaged strands.
Cetrimonium Chloride
A gentle conditioning agent that detangles, smooths, and fortifies hair. This ingredient reduces static, improves manageability, and helps other strengthening ingredients penetrate more effectively. Essential for maintaining hair integrity during styling and manipulation.
Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine
A conditioning agent that smooths the cuticle and adds shine while strengthening the hair structure. Helps repair damage, reduces frizz, and improves the overall texture of weak or compromised strands. Works synergistically with other ingredients for maximum fortification.
