Boticário Match Nutrição Profunda Nourishing Leave-In – Smoothing Care for Dry, Damaged Hair – 5.07 fl oz (150 ml)

Boticário Match Nutrição Profunda Nourishing Leave-In – 5.07 fl oz (150 ml) is a no-rinse finishing cream made in Brazil for hair that feels rough, dry or worn down by routine styling. It goes on after washing, when the fibre is at its most fragile, and helps smooth the surface of each strand so hair feels softer and easier to manage from the first application.

Created by O Boticário, one of Brazil's most loved beauty houses, the Match Nutrição Profunda line was built around two signature actives: a purifying oil blend that carries the richness of plant oils with the lightness of water, and bio-omegas that help form a protective veil over the fibre to keep moisture where it belongs. Brazilian hair care is shaped by heat, humidity and daily styling, and this leave-in is a direct expression of that know-how.

The formula is vegan, carries the brand's signature high-intensity fragrance, and works as a heat-protecting step before blow-drying, helping shield the hair up to 230°C (446°F).

Key Features:

• Deep nourishment, no rinsing: a leave-in that stays in the hair to keep working, helping reduce roughness along the lengths and ends.
• Smoother, softer feel: helps soften the hair surface and reduce the appearance of dryness from the first use.
• Heat protection up to 230°C (446°F): supports the fibre against the heat of blow-dryers and styling tools.
• Faster drying: helps hair dry more quickly after application, so styling takes less time.
• Lightweight finish: nourishes without weighing hair down, thanks to the water-light oil system.
• Vegan and cruelty-free: no animal-derived ingredients, and O Boticário does not test on animals.
• Contains coconut-derived ingredients: the formula includes Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil and PEG-7 Coco Alcohol Ether. Please avoid if you are allergic or sensitive to coconut or coconut derivatives.

How To Use

1. Start with damp, towel-dried hair if you want heat protection before blow-drying, or with dry hair for a finishing touch-up.
2. Dispense a small amount into your palms and warm it between your hands.
3. Apply along the lengths of the hair, avoiding the roots and the scalp.
4. Comb through to distribute evenly, then blow-dry or let the hair dry naturally. Do not rinse out.

Expert Tip: Concentrate the product on the mid-lengths and ends, where dryness shows first, and start with a pea-sized amount for fine hair — you can always layer a little more, but too much at once can flatten the roots.

Ingredients (Highlights)

• Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil (Argan Oil): a classic conditioning oil rich in fatty acids that helps soften and smooth dry, rough lengths.
• Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil: a nourishing oil traditionally used to help hair feel supple and less brittle. Allergen note: this is a coconut-derived ingredient.
• Macadamia Integrifolia Seed Oil & Linum Usitatissimum (Linseed) Seed Oil: lightweight plant oils that help condition the fibre without a heavy, greasy feel.
• Linoleic Acid & Linolenic Acid (bio-omegas): fatty acids that help form a protective veil around the strand and support moisture retention.
• Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5): a well-known humectant that helps hair hold on to water and appear healthier.
• Dimethicone & Phenyl Trimethicone: silicones that smooth the cuticle, add slip for easier detangling and help protect against heat styling.

FAQ

Do I need to rinse this leave-in out?

No. It is a no-rinse finisher — apply it to the lengths and leave it in. Rinsing it out would remove the smoothing and heat-protecting benefits.

Can I use it on dry hair during the day?

Yes. Applied to damp hair it works as a pre-blow-dry step; applied to dry hair it works as a finishing product to tame roughness and flyaways between washes.

Is it suitable for colour-treated or chemically processed hair?

Yes, it is generally suitable for coloured and chemically processed hair, which often feels drier and rougher. As with any new product, do a patch test first and check the full INCI list if you have specific sensitivities.

Will it weigh my hair down?

The formula was designed to nourish without heaviness, using a water-light oil system. If your hair is very fine, start with a small amount on the mid-lengths and ends only, keeping it away from the roots.

Does it contain coconut?

Yes. The formula contains Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil and PEG-7 Coco Alcohol Ether, a coconut-derived ingredient. If you are allergic or sensitive to coconut, this product is not suitable for you.
