Central America’s Miskito Indians, living on the lowlands along the Caribbean coast, were encountered by Columbus on his fourth voyage to the Americas in 1502. Five centuries later, the Miskito live very much as they did then, comprising four sub-tribes with a total population of about 70,000. Though many of the region’s Indian tribes have less than flattering names — Paya means “brute” while Jicaque and Sumu mean “uncivilized person” — the Miskito Indians are referred to as Tawira, or "the people of beautiful hair."™ The secret to their beautiful hair is Ojon™, a rich palm nut oil extracted from the tropical Ojon™ tree. This unique tree grows only in the rainforest of the Moskitia region of Central America. Ojon™ is a remarkably unique, 100% pure, highly-concentrated oil that instantly hydrates and improves the condition of damaged, color-treated or processed hair without weighing it down. Fortifying, rebuilding and nourishing, it leaves hair extraordinarily shiny, silky and manageable.
