Boticário Match Science Crescimento Hair Mask – Intensive Scalp-Care Treatment – 8.82 oz (250 g)
- Deep-conditions the lengths and ends in a short 3-minute shower step.
- Helps improve the appearance of brittle, breakage-prone hair.
- Helps hair feel softer, silkier and easier to detangle and comb through.
- Supports a clean, comfortable-feeling scalp area as part of the wash routine.
- Works as the hydration step of the classic Brazilian cronograma capilar.
Made for anyone who wants a proper intensive deep-conditioning step two or three times a week - especially people with dry, dull or brittle-looking lengths, chemically treated hair, or anyone who washes often and wants a fast 3-minute treatment instead of a long one. The formula is vegan and Cruelty Free certified, and it is suitable for colored, relaxed and keratin-treated hair. It is not for you if you are allergic or sensitive to soy, wheat, gluten-derived ingredients or corn: this single formula carries several of those allergen sources at once. Skip it too if you avoid fragrance, or if your scalp is currently irritated or broken. Fine hair should keep to about one application a week, applied to the lengths only and away from the roots.

- 250 g (8.82 oz) jar - a generous size that lasts for months of weekly deep-conditioning.
- Key ingredients: the Baicapil(R) botanical blend, castor oil, creatine, hydrolyzed soy, wheat and corn proteins, glycerin and tocopheryl acetate.
- Made in Brazil by O Boticario, the beauty house founded in Curitiba in 1977.
- Rich, creamy balm texture that spreads easily over damp lengths and rinses out clean, with the fresh signature O Boticario scent.
- Vegan formula, Cruelty Free certified, and never tested on animals.
- Allergen note: several soy, wheat and corn derivatives in one formula.
Wash your hair as usual and squeeze out the excess water, then apply the mask along the damp lengths, from mid-shaft to ends. Leave it on for 3 minutes and rinse thoroughly. Use it 2 to 3 times a week, or whenever your hair needs it. Combing the mask through with a wide-tooth comb while it sits spreads it evenly to the ends, where the hair is oldest, and makes detangling after the rinse noticeably easier.
- Plastic screw-top jar; the label is printed in Portuguese and the artwork may vary while older stock lasts, although the formula is unchanged.
- Major allergen alert: this one formula carries several allergen sources together - hydrolyzed soy, wheat and corn proteins plus soybean germ and wheat germ extracts - so it is not suitable for people with soy, wheat, gluten or corn sensitivities.
- Contains Parfum along with Benzyl Alcohol, Phenylethyl Alcohol and Phenylpropanol, which can be sensitizing for very reactive scalps; avoid contact with the eyes, do not apply to an irritated or broken scalp, keep tightly closed away from light and heat and out of reach of children.
The mask is built as the rich counterpart to the shampoo step: cleanse first, then put substance back into the lengths. Cetearyl alcohol and cetrimonium chloride form the creamy base that clings to damp hair and smooths the cuticle, while the bis-(isostearoyl/oleoyl isopropyl) dimonium methosulfate and hydroxypropyl guar add the slip that makes detangling easy. Inside that base, castor oil and tocopheryl acetate soften the fiber surface, glycerin and propanediol hold water so the lengths stay supple after rinsing, and creatine together with the hydrolyzed soy, wheat and corn proteins and the Baicapil(R) botanical blend settles on the fiber to help it look and feel stronger and less porous. Three minutes is enough because the formula is concentrated - it is a treatment step used two to three times a week, not a conditioner for every wash.

Learn moreBoticário Match Science Crescimento Hair Mask – 8.82 oz (250 g) is an intensive treatment mask made in Brazil by O Boticário, one of the country's most loved beauty houses. "Match Science Crescimento" is the Brazilian name of the line and is kept in Portuguese exactly as it appears on the jar.
The texture is a rich, creamy balm that spreads easily over damp lengths and rinses out clean after just three minutes. Castor oil, creatine, hydrolyzed proteins and the Baicapil® botanical blend named on the pack help condition the hair surface, so strands look and feel stronger, smoother and easier to comb through.
Brazilian haircare is built around humidity, heat and frequent washing, and this mask is the deep-conditioning step of that routine — the hydration stage of the classic Brazilian cronograma capilar — finished with the fresh signature scent O Boticário is known for.
Key Features:
- Intensive 3-minute treatment: a concentrated conditioning mask for the lengths that works in a short shower window, two to three times a week.
- Stronger-looking fiber: hydrolyzed soy, wheat and corn proteins plus creatine help improve the appearance of brittle, breakage-prone lengths.
- Scalp comfort: a gentle, fragrance-light rinse-off formula designed to leave the scalp area feeling clean and comfortable rather than coated.
- Castor oil and Baicapil®: the two signatures of the line, included here to help soften and condition the hair surface.
- Slip and shine: cetearyl alcohol, glycerin and conditioning agents help detangle so hair feels silky and reflects more light.
- Brazilian origin: formulated and manufactured in Brazil by O Boticário; vegan formula and Cruelty Free certified.
- Generous 250 g jar: 8.82 oz of product, enough for months of weekly deep-conditioning.
How To Use
- Wash your hair as usual and squeeze out the excess water.
- Apply the mask along the damp lengths, from mid-shaft to ends.
- Leave it on for 3 minutes.
- Rinse thoroughly.
- Use 2 to 3 times a week, or whenever your hair needs it.
Expert Tip: comb the mask through with a wide-tooth comb while it sits — it spreads the product evenly to the ends, where the hair is oldest, and makes detangling after the rinse noticeably easier.
Ingredients (Highlights)
- Baicapil® blend (Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Triticum Vulgare Germ Extract, Glycine Soja Germ Extract): the botanical complex named on the Brazilian packaging, included in this formula as a conditioning plant-extract blend.
- Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil: a classic Brazilian haircare oil that helps soften the fiber and adds slip while the mask sits.
- Creatine: a small, water-soluble molecule used in haircare to help condition the fiber surface and improve the look of weakened lengths.
- Hydrolyzed Soy, Wheat and Corn Proteins: small protein fragments that deposit on the hair surface and help strands look and feel stronger and less porous.
- Cetearyl Alcohol and Cetrimonium Chloride: the conditioning duo behind the creamy texture — they smooth the cuticle so hair detangles and feels soft.
- Glycerin, Propanediol and Tocopheryl Acetate: humectants and a vitamin E ester that help the lengths hold water and stay supple after rinsing.

FAQ
How is this different from a regular conditioner?
It is more concentrated and stays on longer. A conditioner is a quick rinse-out step after every wash; this mask is a 3-minute intensive treatment used 2 to 3 times a week, with more conditioning agents, proteins and castor oil per application.
I have a soy, wheat, gluten or corn allergy. Can I use it?
We would not recommend it without medical advice. This formula carries several allergen sources together: hydrolyzed soy, wheat and corn proteins, plus soybean germ and wheat germ extracts. Please read the full INCI above and talk to your healthcare professional.
Can I use it on colored, relaxed or keratin-treated hair?
Yes. It is a standard rinse-off cosmetic mask and is suitable for colored, relaxed or chemically treated hair. Rinse with cool water to help colored hair keep its tone for longer.
Will it weigh my hair down if I have fine hair?
It should not, as long as you keep it to the lengths and ends and away from the roots, stick to the 3-minute time and rinse thoroughly. Fine hair usually does best with one application a week.
Will my jar be labeled in Portuguese?
Yes. This is the authentic Brazilian product shipped from its original market, so the jar and carton are printed in Portuguese. The full English ingredient list and directions are on this page. Packaging artwork may vary while older stock lasts; the formula is the same.
