Shu Uemura Essence Absolue Oil moisturizing hair 150ml

A multi-purpose hair oil that deeply nourishes without weighing hair down. Shu Uemura Essence Absolue Oil is formulated with red camellia flower seed oil from Japan's Toshima Island — one of nature's fastest-absorbing oils, rich in essential lipids. Ideal for those with dry, color-treated, or damaged hair looking for a daily treatment that hydrates, protects, and illuminates without residue.

What it is

It's part of Shu Uemura's Essence Absolue line, dedicated to intense nourishment and protection of the hair fiber. This formula is a multi-purpose leave-in: it can be applied to wet or dry hair, before or after styling, and can also be used as a pre-shampoo on very dry hair. The lightweight texture distributes evenly without leaving a greasy effect.

Who it's for

It's designed for dry, color-treated, or chemically/heat-damaged hair. Also suitable as a preventative treatment for normal hair that wants to maintain shine and softness over time. If you're looking for an oil that works both as a finishing product and a treatment, this is the right product.

Active ingredient

• Red camellia flower seed oil (Toshima Island, Japan): hand-harvested, it is one of the fastest-absorbing vegetable oils. Rich in essential lipids, it nourishes the hair fiber, improves shine, and protects against dryness. The fragrance is woody and warm, with notes of Japanese camellia.

How to use

Apply 1-2 pumps to wet or dry hair, distribute evenly, and style as usual. For a finishing effect, apply to lengths after styling. For very dry hair, distribute 4 pumps before shampooing, leave on for a few minutes, then wash.

Result

Soft, shiny, and frizz-free hair. The texture is silky and light, with no residue. Shine lasts up to 48 hours, and the hair fiber appears visibly healthier from the first use.
