Fig + Feijoa - Repair & Nourish Shampoo 340 ml

The Fig + Feijoa Repair & Nourish Shampoo gently and nourishingly cleanses dry, damaged, and color-treated hair. The formula features black Maca peptides, New Zealand avocado oil, Harakeke flax gel, and rosemary extract, designed to enhance smoothness, reduce frizz, and strengthen the hair’s appearance.

With the new haircare line, Antipodes applies its bioactive formulation expertise to hair care. At the heart of the Repair & Nourish series is PROTECSYL® from black Maca. The active complex targets the protection of hair proteins, care for brittle lengths, support against split ends, and preservation of color brilliance.

• Black Maca / PROTECSYL® forms the bioactive core of the Repair & Nourish line. The active complex is aimed at stronger, healthier-looking hair, protects hair proteins, strengthens weak or brittle hair, supports color retention, and strengthens the keratin structure.
• Avocado oil from New Zealand complements the formula with nourishing fatty acids for a noticeably smoother hair feel. The plant oil supports moisture levels and increases resistance to hair breakage.
• Harakeke flax adds smoothness to the formula—improving combability, softness, and shine of the hair.
• Rosemary extract complements the formula with antioxidant and balancing properties for a well-cared-for, stimulated scalp and healthy-looking hair.
• Sodium Coco-Sulfate, Lauryl Glucoside, and Decyl Glucoside are plant-based cleansing agents that effectively remove dirt, oil, and residues without drying out or stressing the scalp and hair.

An extensive application study on the new haircare line was conducted with over 600 participants. In the Repair & Nourish group, 155 participants used shampoo and conditioner; after two weeks, 90% described their hair as less frizzy, 85% as healthier-looking, and 82% as more nourished.

The fragrance profile combines Purple Fig, Feijoa Leaf, Pear, and White Cedarwood. This creates a green, fresh, and slightly woody character that feels clean and modern.

Active Ingredients

• Black Maca / PROTECSYL® forms the bioactive core of the Repair & Nourish line. The rare Maca plant originates from the foothills of the Andes and is used in Antipodes haircare to make hair appear stronger and healthier. The active ingredient supports the keratin structure, protects hair proteins, and is especially targeted at brittle, split-end-prone, and color-treated lengths.
• Peptides are small proteins made up of several amino acids. There are many different peptides that perform various functions in the body. They are involved in regulating cell growth and repair and the formation of (larger) proteins such as keratin, elastin, or collagen. This makes them a valuable and well-tolerated ingredient in skincare to combat premature skin aging, fine lines, and sagging structures. Some peptides also have anti-inflammatory properties and help reduce blemishes like pimples and blackheads.
• Rosemary Extract (Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract) – The medicinal plant from the Mediterranean promotes circulation and has mild antibacterial effects. Mature skin benefits from the circulation-boosting effect. Impure skin can be balanced by rosemary. In haircare, rosemary stimulates scalp circulation, improving nutrient absorption. It promotes hair growth and regulates sebum production.
• Manuka Honey (Mel / Honey / Leptospermum mel (manuka honey) extract) – Due to its uniquely high methylglyoxal (MGO) content, Manuka honey is especially anti-inflammatory and antibacterial. Natural honey is antiseptic and antimicrobial, helping to cleanse the skin and thoroughly eliminate bacteria. Honey contains gluconic acid, a mild alpha hydroxy acid that brightens and fades age spots. Raw honey is enriched with a variety of nutrients such as vitamin B, manganese, iron, potassium, and calcium. When mixed with water, honey releases peroxide properties that help heal acne and inhibit bacterial growth. Additionally, honey is a humectant that provides moisture to the skin and supplies it with a wealth of nutrient-rich enzymes.
• Avocado (persea gratissima oil / fruit extract) is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E, proteins, copper, folic acid, and magnesium—all building blocks for healthy skin and hair. Due to its high phytosterol content, it spreads easily and absorbs quickly. It supports the skin’s moisture balance, protects against dryness, and prevents wrinkles. In haircare, it adds shine, moisturizes dry, brittle, and damaged hair, strengthens it, and repairs damage.
• Coconut protects the skin from damage caused by free radicals and premature skin aging. Its high lauric acid content gives the oil its antifungal and antibacterial properties. Coconut oil is comedogenic but still helps with blemishes and is suitable for acne-prone and sensitive skin. It moisturizes and softens the skin.
• Betaine (Betaine, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Trimethylglycine, Glycine Betaine) is a natural amino acid derivative obtained from molasses (e.g., sugar beet). Depending on its form, betaine is used in skincare or as a surfactant. In skincare, betaine conditions, soothes irritation, and protects against dryness. It has strong moisturizing properties. In cleansing products, it stabilizes foam; as an additive in shampoos and conditioners, it strengthens hair, adds volume, and improves hair grip.
• Glycerin – This sugar alcohol is part of the body’s natural moisture system. Lipids (fats) in the skin are made of glycerin and fatty acids. Glycerin has a hydrating effect and helps prevent water loss. It also stabilizes the skin’s barrier function.
• Harakeke flax adds smoothness to haircare—improving combability, softness, and shine of the hair.
