Kendi oil hails from the kukui nut tree (Aleurites moluccana), which has been honored as the state tree of Hawaii. Kendi oil is a sustainable ingredient; it is not harvested. Rather, the nuts from the kukui nut tree are picked off the ground once they have fallen down on their own. Kendi oil contains a combination of reparative and moisturizing ingredients for protection against heat, humidity, dryness, sun and UV rays. Quickly absorbed, adds shine, body, and luxurious silky-smooth feel to hair. Excellent for damaged hair and split ends, soothing to scalp. Therefore, widely used in hair products.
