Natural Ingredients That Protect Hair from Pool and Salt Water Damage
Whether you’re diving into the pool or catching waves at the beach, your hair is up against harsh elements — chlorine, salt, and heat. Over time, they can strip your hair of moisture, leaving it dry, brittle, and discolored.
That’s why a pre-swim hair barrier spray made with natural, nutrient-rich ingredients can make all the difference. Let’s take a look at the powerful plant-based ingredients inside Active COCO’s Pre-Splash Spritz — and how they work together to protect, hydrate, and restore your hair before and after every swim.
Coconut Oil: The Ultimate Moisture Shield
Coconut oil creates a lightweight barrier around each strand, helping to prevent chlorine and salt from penetrating the hair shaft. It’s rich in fatty acids that lock in moisture and keep your hair soft and shiny even after hours in the water.
Fun fact: Coconut oil’s natural structure closely mimics your scalp’s own oils, making it incredibly effective without weighing your hair down.
Jojoba Oil: Strength and Balance
Jojoba oil is technically a wax ester, which means it behaves more like your scalp’s natural sebum than most other oils. This makes it perfect for restoring balance, preventing dryness, and adding resilience.
It also helps reduce frizz and tangling, so your hair stays smooth — even after salty or chlorinated water exposure.
Aloe Vera Juice: Hydration and Scalp Soothing
Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) is packed with vitamins and amino acids that deeply hydrate your strands and calm your scalp. It’s especially beneficial for swimmers who experience irritation from pool chemicals.
Honey: Nature’s Humectant
Honey naturally attracts and locks in moisture. When applied before swimming, it helps retain your hair’s hydration levels — keeping your strands soft, shiny, and manageable. It also adds natural slip, which makes post-swim detangling a breeze.
Argan Oil & Castor Oil: Strength, Shine & Repair
Argan oil delivers vitamin E and antioxidants to repair damaged cuticles and add healthy shine, while castor oil strengthens strands and supports overall hair health. Together, they’re your go-to ingredients for long-lasting nourishment.
Light, Fresh Fragrance: Coconut Lime Verbena
A subtle coconut-lime-verbena scent makes the pre-swim ritual feel like a mini tropical getaway — refreshing, clean, and natural.
Why Choose Active COCO?
Unlike typical silicone-based sprays, Active COCO uses clean, non-toxic ingredients that are gentle enough for kids, safe for color-treated hair, and eco-friendly. Simply spray generously through your hair 15 minutes before swimming, brush through, and you’re ready to dive in.
