Benefits for Hair, Scalp, and Spirit

Shimmer C Infusion™ detoxifies and rebalances the scalp, clarifies buildup, and restores optimal pH for follicular vitality. Its crisp tang awakens the senses, relieving tension and sharpening focus.

Hair emerges stronger, smoother, and luminous, while the scalp feels purified, harmonized, and resilient. Especially transformative for hair that is over-processed, dry, or brittle, this luxurious whip restores suppleness, resilience, and luminous vitality, turning signs of damage into a silken strength. Each application becomes an indulgence, leaving strands feather-soft and helping create a scalp environment that supports fuller, healthier hair, while its sensorial citrus–vinegar essence uplifts the spirit, eases tension and restores a fresh perspective through the skin-to-mind connection, finishing with a shimmery vitality that radiates from within.

Coconut Oil Penetrates deeply with lauric acid to reduce protein loss, restore featherlike softness, and fortify strands. Its silky richness comforts the scalp while enveloping the mind in soothing calm.

Mango & Shea Butters Deliver replenishing fatty acids and vitamins A, C, and E that cushion the scalp in comfort, seal hydration, and smooth the cuticle to reduce breakage. Their creamy decadence relieves tension and cultivates a serene state of mind.

Argan Oil Morocco’s treasured “liquid gold” drenches hair with vitamin E, fatty acids, and antioxidants, enhancing elasticity, luster, and resilience. Its subtle nutty warmth transforms each application into a cocooning, mood-lifting ritual.

How to Use

KEEP REFRIGERATED UP TO 3 MONTHS/ FREEZER UP TO 1 YEAR

Remove your Citrus Cider Whip Hair & Scalp Plaster mask from the refrigerator about an hour before usage so it becomes soft and creamy. Separate dry hair into small sections and massage plaster into the scalp, working product through until hair and scalp are fully cocooned in a visible shiny coating. To remove, do not wet hair first. Apply shampoo directly to plastered hair from scalp to ends, then add water gradually to emulsify. Once scalp and hair are lathered, saturate fully with water and cleanse as a normal wash. Rinse thoroughly and finish with conditioner if desired.

Inside the Formula

Shimmer C Infusion™

Our proprietary vitamin C fermentation process. A meticulous nine-day fermentation in which a curated rotation of fresh, organic citrus and papaya peels is transformed into a living elixir of renewal. Enriched with pre-, pro-, and postbiotics, this rare concentrate fortifies, refines, and restores harmony, unveiling luminous outer radiance with revitalized inner vitality.

Shea Butter

Organic shea butter nurtures both scalp and strands. Its rich emollients ease dryness, calm irritation, and help maintain the scalp’s delicate moisture balance, while nourishing follicles at their base to support resilience and healthy growth. By lubricating cuticles and smoothing the hair shaft, shea butter increases natural shine and suppleness, while its antioxidant shield and protective cushion help guard against heat and environmental stressors. As this butter settles luxuriously across the scalp, sensory pathways are gently awakened, relieving tension and releasing neurocosmetic signals of calm. The ritual restores balance to scalp and hair alike, leaving both comforted, strengthened, and luminous with vitality.

Argan Oil

Sourced from the kernels of Morocco’s Argan tree, organic argan oil delivers rich nourishment with vitamin E, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids that deeply hydrate the scalp, ease irritation, and enhance hair’s softness, elasticity, and radiant shine. Beyond its restorative touch, the oil’s silky texture and subtle, nutty aroma create a calming sensory ritual that eases stress, uplifts mood, and restores emotional balance, making each use as indulgent for the spirit as it is transformative for the hair.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need to keep this in the fridge?

Our fresh, nutrient-rich formulas are preservative-free, meaning they’re alive and at peak potency when stored in the refrigerator. Just like fresh food, this keeps the active ingredients stable and maximizes their bioavailability so your skin gets the most out of every application.

How long do your products last?

Because our formulas are made fresh in small batches, they have a shelf life of three months when stored in the refrigerator (or up to one year if kept in the freezer). Each jar is designed for regular use within that time, so you can enjoy the full benefits while it's at peak freshness.
