PHYTO Protective Hair Oil — Plage beach & pool UV defense, 3.3 fl oz water-resistant shine

Made in France and formulated since 1974, PHYTO Plage is the original beach-and-pool hair oil designed to protect color and moisture without weighing hair down. Its botanical blend centers on calendula extract to soften and karanja oil for antioxidant protection, with a UV filter to reduce sun-induced fading. The texture creates a glossy, "wet" finish and the scent delivers sunny, fresh notes ideal for summer outings; the travel-friendly 3.3 fl oz size fits easily into a beach bag.

How does PHYTO Plage protect hair from sun, salt and chlorine?

PHYTO Plage combines a UV filter with plant oils to form a protective layer on the hair fiber, helping reduce direct damage from sunlight and abrasive elements like salt and chlorine. The formulation is water-resistant so protection remains effective during swims and humid conditions.

• UV filter helps limit light-driven color change and dryness.
• Karanja oil provides antioxidant-rich surface protection.
• Water-resistant finish maintains coverage through exposure.
• Silicone- and sulfated-surfactant-free formula suitable for many hair routines.

Will PHYTO Plage weigh my hair down or make it greasy?

The oil is designed to be lightweight and non-greasy when used as directed: a light spray or a few drops applied to mid-lengths and ends. It nourishes and enhances shine without creating heaviness, so you can style or leave hair as a soft, wet-look finish.

• Apply sparingly to avoid buildup—target mid-lengths and ends.
• Works on dry or damp hair; reapply after swimming for continued protection.
• Leaves a glossy, non-oily appearance when distributed evenly.
• Suitable for color-treated hair seeking lightweight shine.

How should I use this oil before and after swimming?

Rub a few drops between palms and smooth through dry or towel-damp hair before sun exposure; for greater coverage use a light spray. After swimming, rinse or towel-dry and reapply to protect freshly exposed lengths and preserve the wet-look finish.

• Before swimming: apply generously to clean, dry or damp hair.
• After swimming: towel-dry and reapply to reestablish protection.
• Use as a leave-in treatment—no rinsing required unless desired.
• Can be styled over or under other products as part of routine.

What ingredients make PHYTO Plage effective and safe for color-treated hair?

The key actives include calendula extract to nourish and soften fibers plus karanja oil for antioxidant support; an added UV filter helps preserve dye vibrancy. The formula is free from silicones and sulfated surfactants, making it a gentle option for many color-treated routines.

• Calendula extract: softens and conditions the hair fiber.
• Karanja oil: antioxidant protection and surface conditioning.
• UV filter: helps reduce sun-related color fade.
• Silicone-free and no sulfated surfactants for a lighter finish.

Who is this for: PHYTO Plage is ideal for adults who spend time at the beach, pool, or outdoors and want lightweight protection that preserves color and adds glossy shine. It suits dry, sun-exposed, or color-treated hair and anyone seeking a travel-friendly, botanical oil that provides water-resistant coverage and a summery scent without heavy residues.
