Formulation philosophy
Apples, berries, rosemary, thyme, mallow flower...
From the very beginning, we were committed to developing Curl Bites products with ingredients you can find in your garden and nature, which nourish our textured hair.
High performance meets 0% synthetic polymers.
Curl Bites stands for high performance without the use of synthetic polymers or microplastics. A valuable lesson on our Curlbox journey has been—and continues to be—that natural polymers actually work even better for our curl results!

Garden Picks
The Weightless line, free from extra protein, is designed for all curl types. We developed this line with the belief that nourishing curl care shouldn’t weigh hair down. You’ll love this line if your hair tends to get weighed down easily, if you adore volume, but still want to achieve beautiful definition. Here are the key ingredients:
Protective Complex
The unique complex of organic apple cider vinegar, Swiss organic mallow flower extract, and organic nettle extract can repair damaged hair and enhance its smoothness. This complex also protects against damage caused by frequent washing by coating the cuticle.* Mallow is generally known for its antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties.
* Efficacy study from the raw material supplier.
Essential lemon oil
Essential lemon oil can help remove excess oil and product buildup, restoring balance to the scalp. With its toning properties, it can impart a natural shine to the hair and provide a revitalizing, refreshing sensation.
Apple extract
The apple is a true multitasker: packed with carbohydrates, fruit acids, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and trace elements. It is selected for its natural softening and antioxidant properties, making it an excellent ingredient for nourishing and protecting the hair.

Power Bites
This line has power: it's all about protein and strong hold! Power Bites takes that extra step for those who want "more": more protein, more hold, more care, and more power—while still remaining weightless. Whether you have waves or tight curls (2a-4c), Power Bites is perfect for you if you're looking for protein and strong hold. Here are the key ingredients that pack a powerful punch:
Protein Blend of Almond, Rice, and Wheat
The valuable proteins from almond, rice, and wheat provide natural softness and a pleasant hair feel thanks to their conditioning and film-forming properties. This blend strengthens the hair without weighing it down, while giving your curls definition and elasticity.
Pea peptide
Plant-based pea peptide acts as a natural shield for your hair. With its film-forming and antioxidant properties, it nourishes both your hair and scalp. The result? Tamed, smooth, and healthy-looking hair that’s protected from external influences—perfect for radiant curls!
Irish moss
Irish moss (Chondrus Crispus), also known as red algae, is gaining popularity in hair care as a natural gel-forming agent. Its gel-forming properties come from polysaccharides, particularly carrageenan, which create a gel-like texture when in contact with water. This gentle yet effective gel structure wraps around each hair strand, helping to define curls without weighing them down.
With its natural thickening properties, Irish moss not only provides strong hold but also ensures a smooth application. It supports curl formation and offers flexible hold that tames frizz while maintaining elasticity and bounce. Importantly, it leaves the hair soft and naturally shiny.

Herbal Kitchen
Welcome to our herbal kitchen, where we aim to pamper your scalp! If scalp health is your goal, you will love this line. Enriched with rosemary, thyme, lavender, and many other scalp goodies, we tackle itchiness, oily scalp, and build-up! Here are the key ingredients:
Rosemary & thyme
Herbal Kitchen is enriched with valuable rosemary and thyme. We love rosemary for our scalp because it is said to have soothing, antioxidant, and circulation-boosting properties. It is known for stimulating the skin, supporting the natural healing process, and acting as a natural defense against free radicals. Similarly, thyme is attributed with impressive properties, including strong antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects. It is known to cleanse the skin, protect against harmful bacteria, and soothe irritation.
Anti-Pollution-Complex
We use an innovative anti-pollution complex, which combines barley grass, lemon balm, and orange. This acts as a protective shield for hair and scalp against urban environmental stressors such as fine dust and oxidative stress, which can make hair dull and damaged.
