🌿
Key Ingredients & Active Constituents
Chebe Powder
(
Croton zambesicus
)
Chebe is a traditional herbal blend from Chad (West Africa) that’s been used for centuries by women of the Basara tribe to help maintain long, strong hair.
It’s not just one plant — it’s a mixture of natural ingredients, usually ground into a powder and applied with oil or butter to the hair shaft (never directly on the scalp).
🌿 Typical Ingredients in Chebe Powder
While recipes can vary slightly, most authentic blends include:
Croton zambesicus (Chebe seeds) – the base ingredient; rich in fatty acids and antioxidants that help with moisture retention.
Mahllaba soubiane (cherry kernels) – adds aroma and some emollient properties.
Cloves – provide antimicrobial and antioxidant benefits.
Samour resin – a natural gum/resin that helps bind and protect the mixture.
Missic stone (fragrance stone or parfum stone) – a natural aromatic mineral that enhances the scent and helps preserve the blend.
✅ Key Benefits (Traditional + Observed)
Moisture Retention: Helps hair hold on to hydration, reducing dryness and breakage.
Strengthening: The resin and clove add protective qualities that strengthen hair shafts.
Length Retention: By preventing breakage, hair maintains length during protective styles.
Scalp Avoidance: Traditionally, Chebe is never applied to the scalp — only mid-length to ends — since the powder and resins can clog follicles.
Constituents: Alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, fatty acids
Benefits for Braided Hair:
Alkaloids support hair shaft resilience against daily friction.
Flavonoids & tannins act as antioxidants, protecting hair cuticles from oxidative stress.
Forms a moisture-locking shield, preventing dehydration in long-term styles.
Reduces strand friction inside braids → fewer snapped ends at takedown.

Benefits for Braided Hair:
Stearic & oleic acids deeply soften and condition strands.

Benefits for Braided Hair:

(

Benefits for Braided Hair:
Promotes scalp comfort so braids can be worn longer.
Protects keratin structure → reduces mid-shaft snapping.
