“Healthy
and glamourous hair using natural products” has been LEONOR GREYL’s
motto since its creation in 1968. Far more than a declaration of intent,
healthy and gorgeous hair using natural products is the approach chosen
by Leonor and Jean-Marie Greyl, and which their daughter Caroline and
her husband Tom continue to follow with enthusiasm.
During
the 1970s, when the concept was still quite abstract, LEONOR GREYL
demanded natural treatments and formulas in her Institute and for her
products. At the time the hair treatments were quite radical, not too
concerned with the aesthetic aspect and with solutions often resulting
from chemistry. LEONOR GREYL was a forerunner and a visionary. It’s
nature which enables her and which will always enable her to be the
exclusive benchmark Brand in the world of hair care.
LEONOR
GREYL products have always respected the environment. The philosophy of
this family business, since its creation, rests on a scrupulous
selection of all of its supplier sources in order to offer its clients
around the world high quality, effective, innovative natural ingredients
for outstanding quality. LEONOR GREYL has always favoured nature’s most
precious, intimate secrets to treat, repair, beautify and make hair
gorgeous.
This
pioneering Brand was the first ever to use the healing properties of
palm oil and has been using them to protect hair since 1970.
Although
LEONOR GREYL already used organic quality Palm Oil, faced with numerous
controversies surrounding the intensive cultivation of palm trees and
their damaging effects on the environment, LEONOR GREYL now stamps the
bottles with “100% organic palm oil”. It is therefore an organic quality
palm oil that the Brand currently favours, harvested in a region in
Colombia where its production poses no threat to the environment.
Focus on Organic PALM OIL
By
definition, organic farming favours cultivation methods, which preserve
or increase the organic matter in the soil. Collected in Colombia, the
Palm Oil used by LEONOR GREYL observes the fundamentals of respect for
life and biodiversity.
Since
its beginnings in 1970, this organic plantation has preserved the trees
on the land, and is against all deforestation, partial or total.
The one, the only, incomparable LEONOR GREYL PALM OIL
PALM
OIL is our best friend for summer! Made from 97 % natural oils, PALM
OIL is amazingly softening and regenerating. Its “Holiday” aroma is
already a journey. It’s the best and a true friend to hair exposed to
the sun, the ideal partner to protect it and insure the beauty of all
hair exposed to UV, wind, salt, chlorine...or any summer pleasure!
PALM OIL says yes to everything!
Yes
it protects against the sun and UV rays, yes it “body guards” hair
against chlorine in swimming pools, yes it transforms our hair into
mermaids’ locks in the sea, yes it protects, yes it softens, yes it
repairs our fabulous hair.
PALM OIL is sexy!
PALM
OIL is a sexy beauty secret which is passed from generation to
generation, from mothers to daughters, between sisters, among friends.
This oil evokes sensuality, the heat on the sun on your skin, like a
drop of luxury. True luxury, having time to yourself, deciding to pleat
your hair or tie it up with a nicely tanned hand, twirling it around
your fingers and inventing a new style each day.
PALM OIL insures!
PALM OIL protects our hair against all types of damage: colouring, lightening, brushing, straightening, sun, swimming.Completely
vegetal and certified ORGANIC, it congeals, whatever the climatic
conditions under 77 degrees Fahrenheit, creating a soft, but
impenetrable protective barrier. It isolates the hair by forming a
protective film, nourishing and repairing, impenetrable to water and
filtering UV rays.
Professional advice
The morning before going to the beach:
On
dry hair, apply to the lengths and ends before combing or brushing
through to coat all the hair. Leave it on all day, touching up if
necessary by rubbing a small dot between the palms of your hands and
reapplying to the hair. For long hair, part in the centre before
splitting the hair into two pleats or pull the hair up high at the back
and plait tightly or even a pretty ponytail. For a chic ponytail: once
the hair is in a ponytail, take a small lock of hair and wind it around
the band and fix in place with a hairpin.
An improvised French pleat? Beautiful using a chopstick from a Chinese restaurant.
For short hair, PALM OIL defines the boy crop and disciplines the most rebellious hair.For a surprising feminine touch draw the hair and wear large decorated earrings.
Party time
The
real refinement is washing the hair in the evening. PALM OIL washes out
very easily with a single shampooing, allow it to dry naturally and
reapply PALM OIL, using it as a styling product. It must be applied
gradually, rub it into a few locks at the side and allow them to fall
back to create a “messy” glossy effect.
