All of the awapuhi used in our products is still grown and harvested on the Paul Mitchell^® Awapuhi Farm. The same family has lovingly cared for the grounds for over 40 years,. Each awapuhi ginger plant is carefully harvested using time-honored practices. The roots are washed by hand, then dried in a solar dehydration shed and ground into a concentrated powder that is added to our products.

A portion of each root is also replanted for the following year’s harvest, creating a regenerative cycle. The roots remain dormant in the earth until early summer, when they begin to grow into the next generation of awapuhi ginger.
