Chébé du Tchad™:
Drop everything: this is the new ancestral ingredient you have been waiting all your life to say goodbye to haircuts. Forever. What if you never have to cut your hair ever again? Even the driest, most damaged and brittle? This is exactly what Salwa Petersen, a native of Chad, haircare expert and beauty industry veteran dreamed of and created by modernizing the miracle ingredient she grew up with in the vast lands of her home country.
After 3 and a half years of research and development for Salwa and her team of scientists, toxicologists, botanists and formulators succeeded in transforming the ancestral ritual of Chébé from Chad, traditionally used as a poultice made of the
powdered seeds into the world’s first croton gratissimus extract. Salwa Petersen called this new, superior cosmetic ingredient with show-stopping, remarkable benefits never used before in modern beauty care Chébé du Tchad™.
Chébé du Tchad™ is a 100 % natural proprietary blend of authentic, organic, wild harvested and fair traded Chébé seeds, selected from a special harvest in her family estate by Salwa Petersen for hair seeking healthy-looking length retention. Chébé, the seed of the croton gratissimus tree, is Chadian women’s legendary hair length secret. The traditional Chébé ritual, a time consuming and messy affair is passed down from mother to daughter, a millennia-old tradition that have been up until recently well-kept under wrap. Our Chébé du Tchad™ makes it accessible for all with a modern, cushiony, pleasurable texture and easy to use, one step format.
Key ingredients: We spared no expenses here to give La Crème de la Crème to your hair. We have multiplied the power of our breakthrough, proprietary 100 % natural Chébé du Tchad™ blend for hair seeking healthy-looking length retention by combining it with the best science-backed active ingredients on the market, handpicked with infinite attention, in a super concentrated formula, including: certified-organic and fair-traded African shea butter, rich in vitamin E for its exceptional moisturising, soothing, and nourishing properties as well as a selection of five carefully chosen vegetable oils: virgin castor oil known for promoting hair growth, cold-pressed sweet almond oil widely used for its softening and emollient qualities, organic sesame oil full of essential fatty acids to provide a softening effect, avocado oil particularly suitable for treating even the most damaged hair, sea buckthorn oil abundant in carotenoids and omega-3, with remarkable regenerating, hydrating, and restructuring properties. We added a prodigious plant extract, moringa, to protect damaged ends and make hair easier to style. Lastly, vegetable glycerin restores softness and hydration to the hair, wheat germ proteins—sources of powerful antioxidants—bring volume, strength, and shine while ceramides together with vegetable keratin are very effective in repairing and reinforcing the hair fiber, from inside out.

Air France Madame: "In addition to marketing Chébé du Tchad™ Hair Cream, Salwa Petersen's company works with African Parks Network, an organisation dedicated to protecting the continent's wildlife and helping its underprivileged populations in particularly by promoting education and employment for women, a rarity in Chad. From a centuries old beauty secret, Salwa Petersen has created much more than a haircare product that delivers impressive results".

As a Chadian woman, Salwa Petersen Chébé du Tchad ™ Hair Cream knows the power of Chébé, an African beauty ingredient for maintaining long, healthy hair. She combined the grain with shea butter to create this smoothing leave-in treatment”.

Salwa Petersen Chébé du Tchad ™ Hair Cream is made with Chébé, which has been used in Chad for generations to help strengthen and smooth long strands. I rake a dime-sized amount through damp hair before heat styling."
Black Beauty & Hair: "Chébé is the latest beauty ingredient to take the hair community by storm with its length-retaining powers. Salwa Petersen has launched the Chébé du Tchad™ Hair Cream that has harnessed the power of Chébé".
Byrdie: “After wearing my hair straight for a few weeks, I decided it was time for a wash day. Once I shampooed and conditioned my hair, I divided my damp curls into sections and applied the cream from root to tip. After applying the product, my curls immediately felt more moisturized. Once my hair was fully dry, I was left with pillowy soft, super hydrated, and bouncy curls. I've also used it to refresh my hair in the mornings and it instantly adds life back into my curls. I'm excited to play around with the cream some more and see how it performs with a braid-out or twist-out. The Hair Cream is definitely a new gem in my wash day routine”.

Public: " A product to avoid hair loss in the long run."
Stylist:
"Cult object."
"What do you do when you have a Harvard degree and are of French and Chadian origin? Girlboss-in-chief, Salwa Petersen decided to develop a hair cream based on Chébé. Applied as a leave-in conditioner on damp hair or styling aid on dry hair, its formula without sulfates, silicones and parabens, hydrates, strengthens and gives bounce to all types of hair, straight, curly and coily. Special mention for its recyclable packaging, its FSC shipping box and for donating 2% per product sold to African Parks Network to support African national parks”.
Sweet July by Ayesha Curry: "Former lawyer and L'Oréal beauty exec Salwa Petersen developed a leave-in formula that honors the rituals of her Chadian heritage while simplifying the application process. Combining Chébé with organic oils, shea butter, keratin, and proteins, it strengthens strands, amplifying growth."
Town & Country: “Salwa Petersen's hair cream not only comes in 100% recyclable packaging, but it also uses paper components that are FSC certified (meaning that it is made from well-managed forests in Europe) and the e-commerce shipments are completely carbon neutral. Even better, 100% of the electricity consumed by the brand's office, lab, and factory is green and 100% of the water used in those facilities is cleaned and put back into the natural water cycle. All of which to say, when you buy a Chébé du Tchad™ product, you're supporting a carbon negative business. “
Today: “Featuring Chébé, a millenia-old ingredient used by Chadian women to maintain long and healthy hair, this cream works well for all hair textures and types, including fine and thick, low and high porosity, dry or damaged, natural, in-transition, relaxed, colored, chemically processed or locked hair. It's also award-winning, landing a spot in Essence's 2021 Best in Black Beauty Awards.“
US Weekly: “After a year of social distancing, grown out looks like Awkwafina’s are having a moment. Infuse ends with moisture and nutrients”.
Version Femina: "Easy to use, incredibly effective and natural to revive damaged hair. It is the best!"
Voici: "A miracle to save your lengths."
Vogue: "2021 Best New Sustainable Products [have] circularity in mind. Salwa Petersen shares that 100% of electricity used to produce her products is green, 100% of the water is “cleaned and returned to nature,” 100% of vegetable trash is composted, 100% of packaging is recyclable, and 100% of paper is FSC certified. The women who respectfully harvest the organic Chébé seeds in the line’s hair cream are paid three times the local salary, and 2% of proceeds go to African Parks Network, which manages 20 National Parks across the continent for a partnership that’s helped them, technically, reach carbon-negative status.”
