| Kerastase Elixir Ultime GRAND CRUS |
The best wines and champagnes are called “Grands Crus” in french. Well that’s exactly what Kerastase has done. They have launched 3 more luxurious oils made from the rarest and best of ingredients. The Grands Crus range is a fusion of the award-winning Elixir Ultime (which is being sold every two minutes in the world) and more beautifying extracts. Each formula is tailor-made to specific hair needs, so everyone would be able to find an elixir suited for their hair type. And guess what, each scent of each variant has been inspired by luxurious French perfumes!
You already know my love for the original Kerastase Elixir Ultime which for the sake of simplicity I call “liquid gold” (whats up with such long names!). I’ve extensively reviewed the oil and posted a lot of before-after photos.
The original Kerastase Elixir Ultime Oleo Complex (yes the yellow bottle!) is made of:
1. Pracaxi Oil – Originating from the Amazonian regions contains active anti-oxidants.
2. Argan Oil – One of the rarest oils in the world from Morocco known for its reparative and regenerative properties.
3. Maize Oil – The star ingredient in Kerastase’s first ever hair mask, “Masque Mais” Rich in vitamins A, E, and Omega 6.
4. Camellia Oil – Extracted from Camellia flowers in Asia, this oil is a source of Vitamin F and fatty acids, and Omegas 3 & 6.
