Description
The hair care brand that French salon professionals use — available in French pharmacies at prices that make international tourists do a double-take.
René Furterer is not a mass-market brand. Founded in Paris in 1957 by a pharmacist — René Furterer himself — who believed that the health of hair and scalp should be approached with the same rigour as skincare, the brand has built its reputation over seven decades on plant-based active ingredients, meticulous formulation, and results that speak for themselves. Every product is developed at the Pierre Fabre research centre in the south of France.
The Absolue Kératine range is designed for hair that has been damaged by chemical treatments, heat styling, environmental stress, or simply by time. Its hero ingredient, Plant Keratin — derived from sustainable plant sources rather than animal keratin — penetrates the hair cortex to rebuild the internal structure of the hair shaft. The result is measurably stronger, smoother, and more resilient hair from the first wash.
Key Benefits
- 🌿 Plant Keratin
Rebuilds the hair fibre from within — filling in gaps in the cortex caused by damage, heat, and chemical processing. Unlike surface-coating silicones, this structural repair is genuine and lasting. - 📉 97% reduction in breakage
Clinically measured in René Furterer trials. Hair that breaks less, retains more length, and maintains its integrity through styling. - 💫 Instant smoothness
Frizz is visibly reduced from the first wash. Hair feels smoother, looks shinier, and is significantly easier to style. - 🔬 Amino acid complex
Essential amino acids (the building blocks of keratin) provide additional nutritional support to the hair fibre and scalp. - ✅ Safe for colour-treated hair
The gentle plant-based formula is compatible with chemically treated, coloured, and highlighted hair.
The Absolue Kératine Range
The range includes the Renewal Shampoo (daily cleansing with keratin repair), the Renewal Mask (intensive weekly treatment for very damaged hair), and the Renewal Oil (a lightweight finishing oil for frizz control and shine). For best results, use the shampoo, mask, and oil as a complete system — each product builds on the action of the previous one.
How to Use
Apply the shampoo to wet hair and work into a rich lather. Massage for 1–2 minutes, focusing on the lengths and ends where damage is most concentrated. Rinse thoroughly. Follow with the Absolue Kératine Mask 1–2 times per week for intensive repair. Apply the oil to damp or dry hair as a finishing treatment. For severely damaged hair, use the full range consistently for 4–6 weeks for maximum structural repair.
