Deep Conditioning Hair and Scalp Serum

One bottle. Endless ways to love your hair (and skin).

Pre-Shampoo El Treatment Hair and Scalp Serum 

Think of Rare Elements Pre-Shampoo El’ Treatment as your hair’s ultimate multi-tasker—a concentrated, nutrient-rich serum designed to repair, protect, and transform your hair from root to tip. While it’s traditionally used on dry hair before shampooing, this eco-luxe formula has so many other uses that you might just find yourself keeping it in constant rotation.

Because it’s highly concentrated, your hair may look sleek, glossy, or slightly “piece-y” depending on how much you apply. And that’s the beauty of it—you control the look and feel.

1. At-Home Spa Repair Treatment

For deep restoration, saturate your hair completely with the El’ Treatment, leave on for at least 10 minutes or longer. For hair that’s been pushed to its limits, indulge in an overnight treatment for the ultimate repair and restoration. Follow with Rare Elements Pure Shampoo and one of our Essential Conditioners.
Tip: If you’re leaving it in overnight, wrap your hair in a silk scarf or cover your pillow to protect your bedding.

2. Styling Aid for Sleek or Effortless Texture

Whether you’re going for a polished slicked-back ponytail or relaxed, beachy waves, this serum delivers.

  • For sleek styles: Apply generously to smooth and hold.
  • For texture: Just 1–2 drops through mid-lengths and ends creates that undone, sun-kissed look. Start small—you can always add more.

3. Blow-Dry Perfecter & Finishing Shine

El’ Treatment works beautifully as a leave-in for added shine, softness, and frizz control.

  • While hair is still slightly damp, warm 1 drop between your palms and distribute evenly before finishing your blow-dry.
  • After styling, smooth a small amount over ends and throughout the hair to lock in shape and moisture.

4. Pre-Color Shield

Before applying color, your stylist can coat hair with El’ Treatment to soothe the scalp, replenish moisture, and ensure even color distribution. It works during processing to help prevent dryness and breakage—leaving hair soft, vibrant, and resilient.

5. Luxe Skin & Body Oil

This formula is so pure you can use it on your skin. Apply to face or body for instant hydration. 

  • Use it as a rehydrating body oil after showering.
  • Perfect as a nourishing sunbathing oil or post-shower glow treatment
  • Apply to the face for a dewy-fresh complexion and or dry areas for an instant boost of hydration.

6. Beach & Pool Protector

Before a day in the sun, massage El’ Treatment through your hair to help block the drying effects of sea salt or chlorine. It not only protects and conditions but also makes post-swim detangling a breeze.

Why it Works
Infused with Marula, Baobab, Camelina, and Macadamia Nut Oils, plus shine-enhancing Meadowfoam and deep-conditioning Olive Squalane, this multi-tasking serum delivers nutrient-dense care from root to tip.


The takeaway: Rare Elements El’ Treatment isn’t just a pre-shampoo—it’s a luxury beauty essential that adapts to your lifestyle. From deep treatments to daily styling, from hair to skin, it’s your all-in-one secret for radiant, healthy, picture-perfect results.
