Handcrafted Organic Water Based Pomade
Developed for men's hair, this handcrafted water based pomade pairs beeswax, regularly used to shield the hair and lock in hydration, with shea butter, an intensive emollient used for sealing.
Jojoba oil is commonly used for lightweight hydration, argan oil to smooth frizz, and sunflower oil for barrier recovery. Tea tree oil is often used for its antimicrobial action. The Original fragrance carries amber, teakwood, coffee beans, charred pine, cedar, and sandalwood as scent notes, while the Rugged fragrance carries juniper berry, cedarwood, and Cuban tobacco notes.
Hair care engages touch at every step, and the step depends on the product. Cleansing products lift buildup and surface bacteria from the hair and scalp (Bloomfield et al., 2007). Conditioning products add oils and lipids that smooth the hair surface and reduce fiber friction (Robbins, 2012). Styling and leave-in products add glide through the same surface smoothing, which lowers mechanical stress on the fibers during combing and styling (Robbins, 2012; Rele & Mohile, 2003). At any step, massage-like pressure on the scalp activates the touch receptors around the hair follicles (McGlone et al., 2014) and is associated with reduced stress and relaxation (Field, 2010).
Anyone with a skin condition, allergies, or sensitivities should consult a physician or dermatologist before use.

Pairing Note
Aroma: Topical interaction paired with aroma becomes aromatic‑surface experience. Cultures combine botanicals with oils, creams, and hair treatments because aroma carries symbolic meaning, lineage, and spatial identity (Classen, Howes & Synnott, 1994). These practices persist because aromatic pairing strengthens emotional recall (Herz, 2016) and supports cultural continuity (Assmann, 2011).
