Gugo
A traditional Philippine medicinal plant extensively used to clean and keep hair fuller and healthier. In the olden times, the bark is soaked in water to create a soapy lather, and then used as a hair wash in lieu of regular shampoo. With frequent use, it is said to result to thick, luscious, and healthy locks.
Gugo nourishes the hair, allowing for healthier scalp, and naturally reduced hair fall. This potent plant rejuvenates hair follicles, making it a perfect ingredient for hair products and tonics. We use the bark's extract as our main active ingredient in the Gugo & Lawat product line.
Lawat
Various extracts from this plant's stem, bark and leaf hold significant anti-aging, anti-oxidant, and anti-bacterial properties. Lawat leaf extracts contain essential fatty acids and amino acid nutrients that aid in revilatizing scalp and hair follicles.
We use its extract in combination with Gugo as the main actives in our Gugo & Lawat product range. Together, they effectively promote hair growth while relieving dryness in the scalp - giving you overall healthier hair and scalp.
Virgin Coconut Oil
Coconut is one of the most useful plants in the world, providing a great variety of applications. In natural skin care, the high lauric acid content of this oil is loved for its moisturizing and anti-bacterial properties. It also provides sun protection and hair damage prevention.
Our Gugo & Lawat product formulations include this versatile ingredient.
Cocoa Butter
An excellent emollient used to soften and protect dry hair strands, it has a decadent chocolate-y scent, making it a well-loved ingredient in skin and hair care products.
Cocoa Butter is rich in anti-oxidants that help to maintain healthy hair follicles and scalp. Naturally rich in fatty acids, it is effective in keeping hair soft and deeply conditioned too. It repairs hair damage and moisturizes the scalp, preventing dryness and dandruff, while also restoring luster and shine.
You can find this ingredient in our Gugo & Lawat Conditioner.
Honey
Honey has been valued throughout history for its various healing properties. The sugar in honey is highly moisturizing, making it perfect for nourishing dry and sensitive skin. Its anti-bacterial properties help clear out skin issues too. It supports the skin’s natural healing process and reduces any dryness, and is also a natural exfoliator that effectively removes dead skin cells while adding a boost of glow to the skin.
Honey is the main ingredient in our Honey Wax All-Natural Hair Remover.
Sugar

Sugar adds hardness to the mixture, and allows for a more stable consistency that is easier to apply on the skin.
Calamansi
A citrus plant native to the Philippines, the Calamansi has aromatic and deodorizing benefits and rich anti-oxidant Vitamin C properties.
It is used as part of our Honey Wax All-Natural Hair Remover formulation for its skin softening and skin lightening properties. Its strong acidic content helps lighten dark spots, patches and discoloration, making it a natural solution for dark underarms. The Calamansi's acidic property also makes it a natural exfoliator, helping to get rid of dead skin cells to unveil soft, smooth and glowing skin.
In our Gugo & Lawat products, the acidity of the Calamansi balances the scalp’s pH levels, effectively treating dry scalp and dandruff. More importantly, this ingredient helps reduce hair fall too.

A fatty acid that delivers emollient benefits that keep hair smooth and soft, it also helps stabilize oil and water formulations. You will find this in our Gugo & Lawat Anti-Hair Fall Conditioner.

Dimethicone
This is a common ingredient used in many personal care products that gives a smooth and silky texture. Used sparingly in our shampoo formulation, it seals in hydration and keeps hair moisturized and fizz-free as a result.

Its cooling sensation allows the scalp to have improved blood flow, thereby effectively reducing hair-fall. We use this in our Gugo & Lawat Anti-Hair Shampoo formulation.
Tetrasodium EDTA
This is a common ingredient used in cleansers like soap and shampoo. Tetrasodium EDTA helps to effectively bind to oil and dirt so that they can easily be washed away by water. We use this in our Gugo & Lawat Anti-Hair Fall product formulations.

Cetyl alcohol
A plant-derived ingredient that acts as an emulsifier. This prevents the product from separating into oil and liquid, making the consistency of the formulation creamier and more stable. It also helps soothe and soften dry hair -- a perfect ingredient for our Gugo & Lawat Anti-Hair Fall Conditioner.
Cocoamidopropyl betaine
A coconut-derived cleaning agent with anti-bacterial properties, this ingredient is found in our Gugo & Lawat Anti-Hair Fall Shampoo formulation. It makes lather more stable and the formulation milder and gentler.

ALL-NATURAL
Ingredients sourced from nature, without any artificial or synthetic additives.
CRUELTY-FREE
We do not test our products on animals. Nature is kind to us, and we are kind to nature too.
PARABEN-FREE
While a very common preservative used in personal care products, more recent research indicates the possibility of parabens acting as a “xenostrogen agent”. This means that they can imitate estrogen in the body and run the risk of causing hormonal imbalances. While studies on parabens are not conclusive, our formulations include safer alternatives nonetheless.
SILICONE-FREE
When formulated with silicone, conditioners often over-coat the hair, resulting to a heavy build up that weighs down overall hair texture. In its stead, our formulation uses natural plant oils and butters to deliver soft, smooth, and well-conditioned hair. Silicone-free products are a top-of-mind choice for people with curly hair.
SULFATE-FREE
Our products do not have sulfates as part of their formulations. Sulfates are highly efficient cleaners, to the point that they can sometimes over cleanse the hair. They can strip off the natural oils and leave the scalp feeling dry, itchy, and irritated.
