KALIA NATURE
Awarded the best leave-in prize at the Natural Hair Academy in Paris for its Hibiscus Cream.
Kalia Nature is an emerging brand specializing in hair care products composed exclusively of natural ingredients.
Thanks to their varied and high-quality ingredients, Kalia Nature products are suitable for children and adults alike, as well as for all hair types (from straight to frizzy).
Origins of the brand
In 2008, following the premature birth of her daughter, Sandrine decided to create 100% natural hair care products to gently treat her child's hair and sensitive skin. She would later use the effectiveness of her homemade products to care for her own hair, which was undergoing transition, and that of her loved ones.
Despite her job in L'Oréal's chemistry department, the creator of Kalia Nature isn't interested in manufacturing. Guided by the recipes of her grandmother, who became well-known in Martinique thanks to the sale of her beauty products at the Fort-de-France market, she places great emphasis on the natural aspect of her creations.
In 2016, after keeping her discoveries to herself for 8 years, Sandrine decided to finally market her products, following the advice of those around her.
The Kalia Nature “philosophy”
Sandrine is an environmentalist at heart, protecting the planet and running an environmentally friendly business are principles that are close to her heart. This is why she makes sure to make her brand eco-responsible, in particular by reducing the use of plastic packaging with her solid shampoo which also allows, thanks to its format, longer use over time as well as lower water consumption. In addition, the containers are neutral, without colors in order to limit the use of chemicals and the labels are easily peeled off to promote recycling.
The artisanal aspect is also something close to her heart. All of the brand's products are made with 100% natural ingredients. Industrial production is not an option for Sandrine: "For me, it's important to maintain a certain connection with the producers; it gives the product a soul. Even if it means hiring more staff, the products will always be handmade."
Key ingredients
Among the favorite ingredients of the Kalia Nature brand, there is Saint Thomas berry oil. It is notably present only in this shampoo . Afro hair, when it does not evolve in its natural environment (that is to say, hot and humid weather) can become fragile. This oil helps to strengthen the hair and therefore promotes growth.
Sapote and Hibiscus are two other ingredients present in the range.
