REF Shine Elixir Hair Serum

Vegan Hair Serum with Camellia Oil and Quinoa Protein for Shine and Smoothness

REF Shine Elixir is a lightweight, 100% vegan hair serum that smooths the cuticle for a high-gloss, mirror-like finish. The formula pairs Camellia Japonica seed oil and Quinoa seed extract with a fast-spreading silicone blend (Cyclopentasiloxane and Dimethiconol) that disperses evenly across each strand and evaporates without buildup. Rosemary leaf extract and Tocopherol round out the antioxidant profile.

Why Choose It?

• Camellia Japonica seed oil smooths the cuticle for a mirror-like, high-gloss finish
• Chenopodium Quinoa seed extract conditions porous, dry lengths with plant amino acids
• Lightweight Cyclopentasiloxane / Dimethiconol blend disperses evenly without buildup
• Rosmarinus Officinalis (rosemary) leaf extract and Tocopherol add antioxidant support
• 100% vegan formula — free from parabens, sulfates and animal-derived ingredients

Best For

All hair types — especially fine and thin to normal hair where heavier oils would weigh strands down. The 100% vegan formula suits anyone choosing animal-free hair care, and the silicone-based carrier makes it a sensible finishing step on chemically processed or colour-treated lengths that lack natural shine.

Use as the final styling step — pairs naturally with a colour-friendly REF colour-protecting shampoo for the full smoothing routine.

• Start with clean, towel-dried or fully dry hair.
• Dispense 1-3 drops of serum into the palm — start small, especially on fine hair.
• Rub the palms together to warm and spread the serum.
• Smooth evenly through mid-lengths and ends, avoiding the roots.
• Style as usual — or use as a finishing touch on dry hair to tame flyaways.

Tips

• On fine hair start with 1 drop — silicone-based serums build quickly and can flatten roots.
• Concentrate on the ends, where the cuticle is most porous and dull.
• Use before heat styling to help the serum film smooth the cuticle under hot tools.
