What Else You Need to Know about SALWA PETERSEN®’s Chébé:

Chadian women are known for their long, strong, luxurious hair, a rare phenomenon for tightly textured hair. Their ancient ritual centers on the Chébé ingredient. This nutrient-rich seed is naturally packed with antioxidants, vitamins and oleic acids– essentials for beautiful hair. In techniques passed down from mother to daughter through generations, Chébé is harvested, sundried, roasted, powdered and mixed with other ingredients to strengthen and lengthen the hair.

Our founder, Chadian native Salwa Petersen, was gifted an heirloom variety of Chébé by her great grandmother. These ancestral seeds are 100x more powerful than any of the other commonly found Chébé in Chad. In 2017, Salwa established her organic farm and open-sky laboratory in Chad to nurture that wonderful heritage. Skilled farmers paid 5 times the minimum Chadian wage (equivalent to European salaries) hand-pollinate, grow and harvest the seeds using regenerative, traditional farming methods that respect the natural cycle of nutrients in the soil, producing our exclusive Chébé.

We carefully oversee every step of the Chébé process in-house, ensuring that the hair-fortifying nutrients of the seed are preserved. Our single-source heirloom Chébé extract is used to create our proprietary ChébéBond Complex™. It is crafted as the primary active ingredient in the SALWA PETERSEN® salon-quality haircare line to benefit every wave, curl, coil and kink.

For every product sold, we give back 1% to African Parks Network to support people, planet, and culture since day 1.
