Ef Kay

Png Made Products

A new range of skin care and beauty products can now be found in Papua New Guinea designed specifically for darker skin tones and features in this part of the world.

EF Kay products were introduced into PNG five years ago. Frances Kalu of Kay products said the wide range of cosmetics were very popular in PNG.

“[The products] include ingredients such as Vitamin B, and mixtures of natural oils - coconut, sesame, almond, jojoba and lanolin,” Kalu said.

“Haircare products are made from oils and other lubricating ingredients to rid problems such as split ends, dryness, dan druff and hair loss. This system of prod

ucts stimulates growth and helps maintain a healthy head of hair,” Kalu claims.

The products which were developed in

the United States are also made and packaged in PNG, Kalu says.

"While this is happening one important thing to remember is that most of the raw

materials are imported from the US.”

Kalu said what made the range distinc tive was that it was designed for the skin

texture of people in this pairt of the world.

Kalu said the reason he (decided to bring in the range was because \what was avail able on the market did not especially cater

for the skiin types of the people of PNG.

“So we lhad all these unhappy people who could not find products suitable for their skin and hair types.”

For hair care there are hair straightners, relaxers, perms, curly maintenance products for both natural hair and chemically treat ed hair. Clear scalp is designed to eradicate fun gus growth on the scalp.

Also available are shaving gels and after-shave

creams designed for smoother shaves, ton ers and moisturisers and lipsticks and nail polish. ■
