Lime Caviar Intense Nourishment Hair Mask

Antipodes Lime Caviar Intense Nourishment Hair Mask is a 120 mL deep-conditioning treatment for hair that feels dry, rough or hard to manage. It is a rich, silicone-free cream built on shea butter, argan kernel oil and safflower oleosomes, with lime caviar fruit extract, the bark extract known as black maca, seaweed extract and New Zealand manuka honey. Used once or twice a week it leaves hair feeling softer and easier to comb, and it suits curly and colour-treated hair as well as straight.

Product Strengths

• Worked through washed, damp lengths from mid-length to ends, then rinsed out.
• Silicone-free deep treatment, so softness comes from the plant oils and butters rather than a coating.
• Shea butter, argan kernel oil and safflower oleosomes deliver the conditioning without a heavy after-feel.
• Lime caviar (Microcitrus australasica) fruit extract contributes gentle AHAs.
• PROTECSYL, sold as black maca and declared on the INCI as hydrolysed Jatropha macrantha bark extract, works with hydrolysed jojoba esters to help hair feel stronger and smoother. Jatropha macrantha is huanarpo macho, a Peruvian plant unrelated to true maca, Lepidium meyenii.
• Pelvetia canaliculata seaweed extract with xylitol sugars is the brand's Xylishine complex.
• Mel (New Zealand manuka honey) and Kakadu plum fruit extract round out the botanical content.
• Certified vegetarian haircare, free from SLS, SLES, silicones and parabens; it contains honey, so it is not vegan.
• Curly-friendly and suitable for colour-treated hair, in 120 mL plastic-free packaging.

Suitable For / Not Suitable For

Suitable for: Vegetarians; Those seeking a naturally derived option.

Not suitable for: Vegans, because it contains honey.

Suggested Use
