The story
Cedarwood oil is steam distilled from the coniferous trees that tower over British Columbia, and it has a natural, non-chemical chelating action: it lifts dead skin cells from the scalp, styling product from the lengths and hard water minerals from everywhere in between. That is why fine hair feels twice as thick after this wash, and why stylists reach for it to reset hair before a colour or chemical service. It cleans that thoroughly and still leaves the lengths hydrated, which is the difficult part.

Clinically backed repair
Dynagen-R is our patented hair technology, sourced in France and exclusive to REDAVID: a yeast protein fermented from Fair Trade sugar cane that is molecularly similar to your own hair protein, so it bonds into damaged patches instead of sitting on top. In laboratory testing it raised the markers of hair strength and structure by 50.94% against an untreated control. Three phases, every time you use it: Rebuild, Rehydrate, Reseal.

Four times the free radical defence
In clinical trials our Cymbidium orchid complex was shown to target the microscopic imperfections in the cuticle and fill in the gaps for mirror-like shine, and to act as a natural moisture balancer, keeping essential moisture in and excess moisture out. Its orchicyanins scavenge up to four times more free radicals than vitamins E and C.
