Hair Oil made with Fijian Love in New Zealand

May 28, 2025

We are absolutely thrilled to share with our MARIBU family that our MARIBU Revitalising Hair Oil is now available in the beautiful islands of Fiji! This isn't just another market expansion; for us, it's a heartfelt homecoming, a full circle moment that brings MARIBU back to its roots.

A Dream Born in Paradise: Our Fijian Connection

MARIBU was lovingly formulated by a woman who grew up amidst the lush landscapes and vibrant culture of Fiji. Her childhood was steeped in the natural beauty and traditional wisdom of the islands, where the power of natural ingredients for hair and skin care is deeply understood and cherished. This upbringing ignited a passion for creating products that truly nourish, using nature's bounty. MARIBU is a reflection of this heritage, a blend of traditional knowledge and modern formulation, designed to bring genuine vitality to your hair.

Hair Needs in Fiji: A Blend of Traditions

Fiji is a melting pot of cultures, and its people, both native Fijians and those of Indian descent, share a long-standing appreciation for the benefits of hair oil.

For Native Fijians: Traditional hair care in Fiji has always revolved around the abundant natural resources of the islands, most notably pure coconut oil. For generations, this "waiwai" has been used not just for cooking, but as a multi-purpose elixir for hair and skin, celebrated for its deep moisturising, strengthening, and protective qualities against the tropical sun and humidity. The need for oils that tame frizz, add shine, and nourish the scalp is deeply ingrained in their beauty rituals.
For Indian Fijians: Hair oiling is a cornerstone of hair care routines in Indian culture, passed down through generations. Oils are used for scalp massages to promote growth, strengthen roots, reduce hair fall, and maintain overall hair health. The focus is often on deep conditioning, preventing dryness, and imparting a healthy luster.

Both communities understand and value the profound benefits of natural oils for maintaining healthy, beautiful hair in a tropical climate. They seek solutions that address common concerns like dryness, frizz, and hair fall, while appreciating ingredients that are natural and effective.

MARIBU's Heart: Coconut Oil and Nature's Blend

It's no coincidence that the largest ingredient in MARIBU Revitalising Hair Oil is coconut oil. This powerful, natural moisturiser is a nod to the traditional wisdom of Fiji and the wider Pacific. But we didn't stop there. MARIBU is a unique blend of eight nourishing oils, each carefully selected for its specific benefits, working in harmony to:

Promote hair growth
Nourish the scalp
Strengthen strands
Reduce hair fall
Tame frizz
Add natural shine

And in true Fijian spirit, MARIBU embraces the power of scent. Just as traditional Fijian oils were often infused with fragrant flowers, MARIBU is delicately scented with the exquisite notes of vanilla and rose geranium. This not only elevates your hair care routine into a luxurious, aromatic experience but also reflects the cherished habit of using beautifully scented oils for personal adornment and well-being.

A Natural Solution, Made with Love in New Zealand

While MARIBU is formulated with the spirit of Fiji, it is proudly made in New Zealand, ensuring the highest standards of quality, purity, and ethical production. We are committed to being 100% natural and free from parabens and silicones, offering a product that truly cares for your hair and aligns with your values.

We invite our Fijian community to experience the revitalising power of MARIBU. It's more than just a hair oil; it's a connection to nature, a celebration of tradition, and a step towards your most radiant hair yet.
