Garden of Earthly Delights
When New York stylist and colorist Fabian Lliguin, an Ecuadorian of Quechua descent, went searching for the secret to restore life to dry, lackluster hair, he found it—no surprise!—in the Amazonian Rainforest, where tribal women sourced a rich restorative oil called Rahua. Lliguin and his wife, Anna Ayers, launched Amazon Beauty, based on a range of oils and elixirs from the region. It is a sustainable business that partners with women from Waorani, Achuar, Quichua, Quechua and Shuar tribes in the Amazon.
The newest, Elixir Daily Hair Drops with Gardenia Enfleurage, for nourishing hair and scalp, is rich with omega 9s, which rebuild damaged hair, with heady sweet gardenia and palo santo, an uplifting essential oil that smells divine. rahua.com
