Ojon has launched a new collection of cleansers, shampoos and conditioners called Rare Harvest Tawaka. The collection offers all you could need to cope with dry, damaged and aging skin and hair.

The MakeupGirl reports that Rare Harvest Tawaka shampoo and conditioner are sulfate free and can be used both for face and body.

The shampoo is dubbed a “cleanser” which can also be used on your face and body! I found that the trick is to shampoo twice and the second time leave it in for 2-3 minutes before rinsing. It is more like a treatment than a plain old shampoo…good for all hair and skin types - particularly dry, damaged, aging skin and hair. No oily residue either PLUS, the sulfate free formula won’t strip hair so if you have color treated hair you are safe. Just like the shampoo, the conditioner is also sulfate free and can be used on the face and body as well. It is rich in anti oxidants which I wouldn’t think would be a big deal for your hair but apparently it is!

According to Make Her Up, for this collection Ojon uses unique Central American ingredients such as Alula Leaf and Achiote Seed Extracts.

A breakthrough in skin- and haircare, Ojon employs unique Central American ingredients such as Alula Leaf Extract - used by the Tawaka™ for its anti-inflammatory properties - and Achiote Seed Extract to soothe and calm damaged skin and hair. In addition, Wildcrafted Ojon® oil and Cocoa Seed Butter provide long-lasting hydration and anti-oxidant protection.

The prices for the Rare Harvest Tawaka Collection range from $6.50 to $59.99.
