The Hero Ingredient: Aloe
Loma uses aloe for its antioxidant, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Rich in vitamins, minerals, and essential amino acids, aloe vera leaves the hair and scalp healthy and hydrated. Over 30 years ago Loma innovated the use of Organic Aloe Vera Gel in the salon industry. Loma infuses the purest water with concentrated organic aloe vera powder—this powerful combination creates the #1 ingredient in Loma products.
ALOEMOIST COMPLEX
Made of pure organic plant extracts, oils, vitamins and minerals and offers a simple and clean approach to healthy hair and a sustainable environment. Aloemoist Complex is especially effective on all hair including dry, thirsty, color treated, foiled and smoothed hair types.
Aloe vera has a similar pH to hair’s natural pH level. It also has a chemical makeup similar to keratin, which is what hair is made of. Because of these properties, aloe vera has been used for thousands of years for its health benefits.
What can Aloe do for you?
Calms Inflammation and Protects

Aloe vera is naturally anti-inflammatory due to its fatty-acids, and it forms a protective layer on your scalp and hair which keeps them safe from environmental factors like pollution and dust.

Who We Are
HIGH-PERFORMANCE | HEALING, ORGANIC INGREDIENTS
A key practice with Loma formulation is in addressing the needs of the hair through chemistry. Loma products protect, repair and rebuild the internal structure of hair.
VEGAN FRIENDLY
All but two Loma products are totally Vegan, using no animal bi-products. Loma uses a small amount of beeswax in Fiber Putty and Forming Paste, which is obtained in a way that does not harm the bees. And, of course, Loma products are NEVER tested on animals.
The Truth About Silicones
Not all silicones are bad, but Loma does the research so you don't have to.
Though Loma has several silicone-free product options, the silicone that is used is completely shampoo-soluble and doesn't build-up or weigh down the hair. Please watch this video from Loma's chemist and founder with more information on silicones.
The List Goes On...
There's lots of chemicals and toxins Loma refuses to include in the formulas, here's the short list of common items Loma avoids.
