The Story of Rahua® Elixir Fabian Lliguin was on a personal, sacred eco-mission, returning to his native Ecuador, when he discovered the secret of Rahua. For hundreds of years, deep in the heart of the Amazon, women from the Quechua-Shuar tribe have been foraging the symbiotically grown Rahua nut. Prepared when the Rainforest Toucan bird begins nibbling on the nut and during the rise and fall of the Amazon’s full moon, while the beautiful Heliconia orchid blossoms and always adjacent to the River, Rahua Elixir is hand made from the oil of the Rahua nut, long used by these women to promote healthy, strong hair. Curious to see if his clients would benefit from Rahua, Fabian brought back the precious oil to his chic Manhattan salon, Cocoon Hair Studio. His clients were amazed with the transformation of their hair. By penetrating deep into the hair’s cortex Fabian found that Rahua® Elixir repairs and rebuilds damaged strands. When used with Rahua® Leave-In Treatment hair reaches unsurpassed length, remaining healthy and shiny. The Purity of Palo Santo Oil (holy wood) Together Fabian and Anna travel adventurously and continuously through out the Rainforest from coast-to-coast to uncover new ingredients that can be added to the Amazon Beauty™ collection. These ingredients include Palo Santo (Bursera graveolens), a centuries old calming ingredient from aged “holy wood” that imparts an amazingly beautiful aroma and is traditionally used in Shaman ceremonies. Used by the Manta nationality to ward off “bad energy” and coveted by Shaman’s of the Latin culture for hundreds of years, Palo Santo is common to the coast of Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands and a tree that inhabits the South American Gran Chaco region (northern Argentina, Paraguay, Bolivia and the Brazilian Mato Grosso). The aged fallen trees are ripe with the oil of Palo Santo which has been used for centuries in teas and medicinal elixirs for its many healing properties. Both Symbiotic ingredients can be found in Amazon Beauty™’s Rahua® Shampoo and Rahua® Conditioner.
