About Abhati Suisse,

Abhati Suisse was created by Anju Rupal, a British-born Indian social worker turned entrepreneur, who lives in Switzerland. Anju wanted to develop a beauty company that would disrupt how brands give back, by using its profit to directly fund initiatives that would get girls in India to school & keep them there.

Since its launch, Abhati has earned the first ever B Corp certification in Switzerland & has used its proceeds to educate over 350k girls from some of the most vulnerable communities in India. We will be donating 100% of the proceeds from this box to this cause.
 
What's in the Box?
 
1) Yamuna Nourishing Shampoo ($54.00 value). 
2) Mahakali Nourishing Conditioner ($58.00 value). 
 
Please Note: The fragrance in this duo is made from a mixture of essential oils, raw ingredients & safe synthetics all derived from plant materials (a choice that Anju made for reasons of sustainability. choosing the .0001% of the synthetic fragrance materials used where it was the more sustainable option). The fragrance was designed with perfumer Geza Schön of Eccentric Molecules.

This Hair Care box contains an amazing shampoo & conditioner duo: Yamuna Shampoo & Mahakali Conditioner from Abhati Suisse. This duo combines botanicals from India & Switzerland, and delivers soft, shiny healthy hair. The shampoo lathers well, cleansing without stripping and is one of the best shampoos I have found! The conditioner is lightweight & softening, conditioning the hair without weighing it down. 

100% of the profits from this will be going to support the NGO that Anju Rupal the founder works with to educate girls in India.

Abhati Suisse Yamuna Nourishing Shampoo ($54.00 value): This luxurious shampoo, which has a delectable aroma, is formulated to work well on all types of hair.

This hydrating, nourishing and fortifying shampoo contains the Vitamin C-rich Indian Gooseberry that encourages hair growth and curbs dandruff. It also contains Neem Leaf Extract, Himalayan Wild Cherry Oil, Moringa Leaf Extract, Swiss Edelweiss Extract and more nourishing ingredients that make this an exceptional shampoo.

According to Abhati Suisse,

Yamuna cleanses, hydrates, and fortifies hair and scalp, leaving it wonderfully fragrant. Yamuna rids your hair and scalp of build-up that accumulates from regular use of conventional hairstyling products, which weigh hair down. 

Indian gooseberry is our vital botanical ingredient and an ayurvedic herb. This vitamin C powerhouse is a potent antioxidant, which encourages the hair’s healthy growth, natural pigmentation and helps curb dandruff. Yamuna Nourishing Shampoo doesn’t make you choose between natural ingredients and luxurious lather – it lets you have it all. 

Directions: Apply Yamuna to wet hair and massage in for a creamy, rich lather. Rinse and follow with Mahakali Nourishing Conditioner. To fully detox hair and remove dulling build-up, we recommend using Yamuna Nourishing Shampoo for a period of 3 months.

According to Antonin.B,

It only takes 3 drops of this serum to bring vibrancy back to your hair. The Ceramides Enriched Desert Serum is a lightweight yet powerful combination of exclusive botanicals and green innovation. It is particularly suitable for dry, color treated or chemically processed hair.

We can easily agree that taking care of our skin is important. We want to keep it supple, soft and youthful. Why not do the same for our hair?

Antonin .B has pulled together, from the botanical realm, over a dozen of plant based oils and extracts to do just that.

The Ceramides Enriched Desert Serum is a featherweight cocktail of premium organic botanicals. It is formulated to deeply penetrate your hair and makes it stronger, softer and healthier without weighing it down.

It nourishes and rejuvenates dry and color treated hair by replenishing its natural lipids. By smoothing the cuticles on your hair shaft, it combats frizz and porosity which helps maintain moisture in your hair.

The Ceramides Enriched Desert Serum is particularly suitable for dry, color treated or chemically processed hair. It is also ideal for blow dries and heat styling.

In order to make the formula even more efficient, we have enriched it with wheat-sourced ceramides that penetrate the hair shaft in order to fill in the holes and bruises left by chemical processing and heat styling.

Warm the drops between your hands and apply to your hair, insisting on your ends. If you have very fine or thinning hair, avoid your roots. Deep treatment: Distribute about a dropper full of Desert Serum throughout your hair (preferably slightly damp hair). Leave to deep condition overnight or under a heating cap. Then shampoo as usual.

Blow drying tip: Distribute 2 to 3 drops of the Desert Serum on damp hair. Proceed to blow drying. Use hair straightener if desired. Then apply 1 to 2 extra drops to entire head for more shine and a longer lasting blow dry.

Backstage Cocktail - Street Fix ($45.00 value for 3.38 oz.): This wondrous hairspray, which smells of creamy ylang-ylang, reduces frizz and fly-aways while smoothing hair. Furthermore, this versatile styling product adds volume, lift and a glossy shine to the hair.

It is a very versatile hair spray that can sleek frizz down or produce lift for stylish volume; especially on thin and fine hair types. It creates body, texture, light to medium hold and shine. All based on a synergy of botanicals to strengthen, smooth and mineralize. That and… rum from Guadeloupe for a fresh scent and glossy shine.

Hair sprays easily fall in the frenemies category. We loath them about as much as we need them. This is particularly true of hair professionals who carry them around everywhere.

With the intention of running a clean air set / backstage area, Antonin .B has created this spray that is free from polymers, PEGs or any aerosol delivery system.

*Symbiotic® is Rahua®’s signature standard. In order for an ingredient to be classified as Symbiotic®, it must be rainforest grown (wild) in undisturbed virgin forest, harvested and prepared using indigenous knowledge by people indigenous to the virgin forest environment, and it must be purchased at a price that helps to grow and sustain these traditions, build economies, and empower the indigenous people.
