A rich botanical blend featuring wild-harvested Chebe powder from Chad in a castor oil base. Formulated to coat, seal, and help protect dry hair and fragile ends.
Wild-harvested Chebe powder from Chad. Rich castor oil base. Traditional Chebe-inspired care in an easy-to-apply oil.
What It Does
Chebe has a long history of use in Chadian hair-care traditions. In this formula, Chebe powder helps coat the hair strands and protect against moisture loss and breakage caused by dryness, styling, and everyday manipulation.
Castor seed oil provides a rich sealing layer that helps hair retain moisture and feel softer, smoother, and more manageable. Rosemary, neem, peppermint, tea tree, clove, Prunus Mahaleb, and other botanical ingredients complete this traditional-inspired conditioning blend.
This rich formula is especially well-suited for coarse, thick, and tightly coiled hair that benefits from additional sealing and protection along the lengths and ends.

FAQ
How does Chebe support length retention?
Chebe powder helps coat the hair strands, reduce moisture loss, and protect against breakage caused by dryness and manipulation. Reducing breakage can help hair retain more of its existing length.
Is this suitable for fine or low-porosity hair?
No — this is a rich, castor-based formula designed for coarse, thick, and tightly coiled hair. Fine or low-porosity hair may find it too heavy. For a lighter option, try our Stimulating Batana Oil instead.
Can I use this on my scalp?
This formula is intended primarily for the lengths and ends. Because the castor oil base is rich, it may feel heavy on the scalp. If applying to the scalp, begin with a small amount and discontinue use if irritation occurs.
Rinse out or leave in?
Both. As a sealant, leave it in. As a pre-shampoo treatment, shampoo out thoroughly after 20–30 minutes.
