Butter, Not Grease: Why Natural Oils Win in Wave Care

Wave culture has always been about precision, patience, and presence. But when it comes to what we put on our crowns, too many of us are still using old-school grease that suffocates the scalp. At Comme DeLaVie, we believe there’s a better way—clean, effective nourishment that supports the pattern without sacrificing the health of the skin beneath.

What’s Wrong with Grease?

Let’s talk facts. Traditional pomades and wave greases—like those heavy in petroleum and mineral oil—do one thing well: seal. But they come at a cost.

  • 🛑 Clogged pores leading to bumps, buildup, and breakouts
  • 🛑 Scalp irritation from synthetic fragrances and paraffin
  • 🛑 No nourishment—just artificial shine

Your scalp needs moisture that penetrates—not just sits. Wave formation is about compression and hydration, not just slickness.

The Power of Natural Butters and Oils

Crème de la Crown™ is built with a different intention. Our formula starts with rich, non-comedogenic butters and fast-absorbing oils to create a perfect blend of hold and healing:

  • Shea Butter – Heals, seals, and adds softness without clogging pores
  • Kokum & Mango Butter – Lightweight, healing, and scalp-balancing
  • Castor Oil – Promotes hair strength and supports wave depth
  • Argan & Jojoba Oil – Hydrate the scalp and deliver a clean, natural shine

This isn’t wave grease—it’s wave nutrition. Because your crown deserves more than just style—it deserves wellness.

Waves Without Compromise

With Crème de la Crown™, you no longer have to choose between aesthetics and health. You get:

  • ✅ Buildable moisture without buildup
  • ✅ A clean, natural scent without synthetics
  • ✅ A butter that holds your compression without clogging your skin

The wave game has evolved. Why hasn’t your product?
