Highlighted Ingredients:
- Sacha Inchi Seed Oil: Extracted from the seeds of the sacha inchi fruit, this oil is used for its potential to moisturize and soothe irritated skin. These benefits are attributed to the high concentration of antioxidant polyphenols, omega 6 (aka linoleic), and omega 3 (linolenic) fatty acids that sacha inchi seed oil contains. In hair care, sacha inchi oil adds shine and helps offset the damage done by heat styling due to its ability to both coat and partially penetrate the hair shaft.
- Panthenol: Also known as pro-vitamin B5, it is used as a powerful hydrating ingredient that helps smooth, soften, and strengthen the hair shaft.
- Coconut Amino Acid Blend: Gentle, fatty-acid-rich, coconut-based surfactants work together to create a rich foam that effectively lifts dirt, styling products, and other substances away without damaging or stripping color while quick-absorbing amino acids add strength and improved manageability, giving hair a healthier, glossier appearance with visible body and bounce.

For 30 years, celebrity hairstylist Chris McMillan has worked with every recognizable head of hair in Hollywood. But he could never find a product to do what he wanted: bring hair back to its strongest, healthiest state. So he collaborated with his childhood friend who also happens to be the founder of Drunk Elephant. Together, they created a line of hair care that focuses on the scalp—products that dissolve years of buildup while nourishing hair with coconut-based cleansers and shine-boosting amino acids. The rest just grew from there.
Drunk Elephant is a supporter of IEF (International Elephant Foundation) and is cruelty-free.
