Morala Curl Defining Gel - ingredients

AQUA - Good old water, aka H2O. It’s mainly a solvent for ingredients that do not like to dissolve in oils but rather in water.

GLYCERIN - It attracts water molecules from the environment and locks them into your hair strands. Even on the driest of days, the glycerin in all of our products will help keep your hair hydrated, preventing it from becoming dull, brittle, and prone to breakage.

POLYGLYCERYL-4 CAPRATE - Polyglyceryl-4-caprate is a solubilizer, which blends all formula ingredients into a stable and uniformly dispersed product. It is 100% natural, and derived from rapeseed oil and RSPO-certified sustainable palm oil.

ACRYLATES COPOLYMER - A great film forming agent which provides excellent setting effect and curl retention even under extreme humidity conditions.

ARGININE - One of the most important amino acids in keratin. It strengthens the hair, decreases hair breakage, minimises hair loss and moisturises. It also counteracts damage from styling, chemical treatments and heat damage.

PARFUM - Our fragrance is a blend of natural essential oils and synthetic fragrance. The synthetic part helps to remove the risk of any negative reaction as essential oils can be surprisingly harsh. It is also subject to IFRA (International Fragrance Association) guidelines which means the ingredients don't pose a risk for allergens or toxicity.

PROPANEDIOL - We use this 100% natural ingredient as a solubiliser to blend all formula ingredients into a stable and uniformly dispersed product.

PHENOXYETHANOL - Phenoxyethanol helps to prevent fungi, bacteria, and yeast from growing in the product. This gives all of your Morala products a longer shelf life and ensures safety.

XANTHAN GUM - Used as a natural thickener in our formula.

SHEA BUTTER ETHYL ESTERS - Naturally obtained emolient which we use in order to bring additional shine, moisture and softness to the hair without weighing it down.

CARBOMER - Magically converts a liquid into a nice gel formula. It's neutralised with the sodium hydroxide. It creates a healthy film around the hair that smooths the cuticles. This film provides a solid hold.

SODIUM GLUCONATE - Removes unwanted metal ions from the product, improving the clarity and reducing the buildup of minerals on your hair. Sodium gluconate also prevents dryness and breakage, leaving your hair looking and feeling healthier.

ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN - A natural preservative that also has conditioning properties. It reduces the surface tension on the cell walls of bacteria and other microorganisms by destroying them and preventing their growth. This prolongs the shelf life of the products. It betters and supports the other preservatives used in the formulation.

HYDROLYZED WHEAT PROTEIN - Plant-based protein that makes hair less prone to breakage while also adding volume and texture. Hair is left feeling soft and silky.

HYDROLYZED SOY PROTEIN - Plant-based protein that makes hair less prone to breakage while also adding volume and texture thanks to its conditioning properties that are beneficial for hair and also for skin.

HYDROLYZED CORN PROTEIN - Plant-based protein hydrolyzed into smaller fragments to optimise its benefits. It’s primarily composed of amino acids, peptides, and proteins and is extremely beneficial for damaged hair. It improves the traction properties of the hair fibres, particularly when being dried, helping to maintain the hair's elasticity by controlling its loss of humidity; this prevents the hair from breaking.

CITRIC ACID - A 100% natural ingredient found in citrus fruits. It is used to regulate the pH of the formula.

CITRAL - A naturally occurring fragrance ingredient.

COUMARIN - A naturally occurring fragrance ingredient.

LIMONENE - We include this citrus based ingredient thanks to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties which are great for both your scalp and hair cuticles, but also for it's scent.

HYDROXYCITRONELLAL - A naturally occurring fragrance ingredient.

LINALOOL - A naturally occurring fragrance ingredient.
