ReKERA oil
ReKERA OIL is a lightweight repair hair oil that enhances the hair’s natural strength to leave it smooth, manageable, and controlled throughout the day, without any heaviness or build-up. The formula’s Smooth Film Technology forms a flexible, protective film on the hair, which allows the excess oil to evaporate, leaving only the necessary repair ingredients. And the formula’s Pseudo 18-MEA technology mimics the hair’s natural lipid barrier to support the long-lasting adhesion of repair ingredients, while a lightweight volatile oil system reduces greasy residue, and heat-reactive lactone ingredients are activated by styling tools. The formula is infused with fullerene-based UV and oxidative stress protection, and Japanese botanical oils including kaya seed oil and tea seed oil to nourish. In tandem, low-molecular keratin, ceramides, and liquid crystal cholesterol support the repair of cuticles’ cellular membrane complex. After use, hair maintains its shine for eight hours, compared to untreated hair.
