Heat Protectant Shield defends hair against the damaging effects of heat styling while maintaining softness and shine. At the core of the formula is rahua oil, an omega-9-rich Amazonian extract that penetrates deeply to strengthen strands, support scalp health, and preserve colour. It contains shea butter, long valued for its emollient qualities, to deliver advanced thermal protection while sealing in moisture without silicones.

With added hibiscus flower extract, the formula provides antioxidants that reduce oxidative damage and enhance natural shine. It also includes morete and sacha inchi oils to hydrate, protect against UVA damage, and lock in essential moisture.

This innovative, plant-based spray works as a lightweight styling primer, creating the perfect foundation for any heat styling technique. The result is smoother, healthier-looking hair that resists breakage and maintains brilliance, even with regular use of styling tools. Suitable for all hair types, Heat Protectant Shield provides essential protection without weighing hair down.

Rahua creates every formula with its Symbiotic® Standard, sourcing ingredients directly from the Amazon rainforest in a way that protects both the land and its people. Each ingredient grows in an untouched virgin forest, harvested with indigenous knowledge, and purchased at a fair price that sustains local traditions, builds economies, and empowers native communities. This approach ensures every product delivers plant-powered, vegan, and cruelty-free performance at salon level, while remaining colour-safe. Free from phthalates, sulphates, parabens, silicones, mineral oil, microplastics, petroleum, and artificial colourants, Rahua offers clean, ethical haircare that respects people, animals, and the planet.

Rahua was founded in 2008 by Ecuadorian-born hairstylist Fabian Lliguin and trend forecaster Anna Ayers, inspired by the extraordinary strength and shine of Amazonian women’s hair. The secret lay in rahua oil, a nutrient-rich extract packed with omega-9s and active botanical compounds. Determined to share this natural wonder while protecting the rainforest, Fabian and Anna built a brand rooted in clean, plant-based formulations and sustainable practices that empower indigenous communities. Through Rahua, you experience the power of the Amazon’s most potent ingredients while supporting the preservation of its people and environment—helping you nourish your hair naturally and responsibly.
