Nominated for the Dutch Beauty Award 2026
Three months after Munay-Ki launched, our first production run sold out completely. That alone felt like confirmation that there’s room for a different kind of hair care. One that’s not just effective, but deeply sensory. Restorative.
And now this: the Rainforest Reset Shampoo Bar is nominated for the Dutch Beauty Award 2026, judged by an expert panel of ten beauty industry professionals.
I’m taking a moment to sit with this. Moments like these deserve that.
What this nomination means
The Dutch Beauty Award isn’t decided by public votes or likes. A jury of ten experts, people who work daily with formulas, ingredients and innovation in the beauty world, picks the nominees based on quality and added value.
Their choosing the Rainforest Reset feels like recognition of something I believed in from the start: that you don’t have to choose between effectiveness and mindfulness. That a product for your hair can also be a product for you.
Why the Rainforest Reset is different
Munay-Ki develops waterless shampoos and conditioners. Not as a gimmick, but from a clear choice: leaving out water makes room for a much higher concentration of pure, active ingredients.
The Rainforest Reset is no exception. It cleanses thoroughly, lathers richly, and cares for your hair at the same time. Not as two separate steps, but as one fluid ritual.
The scent alone takes you somewhere. Deep green, fresh and earthy. A moment to breathe, in the middle of an ordinary morning.
That’s exactly what Munay-Ki wants to be: not an extra step in a busy day, but a reason to slow down.

More than hair care
The philosophy behind Munay-Ki goes beyond what happens to your hair. As a woman, I see how many women start their day rushed and empty, even before the day has really begun.
Munay-Ki was developed to transform daily routines into conscious moments of rest and reconnection. From the grounding, stone-shaped bars with essential oils, to the sensory packaging and the specially curated playlist of healing music, every detail is designed with one goal: giving you back a moment of attention.
The Dutch Beauty Award nomination for the Rainforest Reset confirms that this story is reaching the beauty world too. And that makes me grateful.

The Rainforest Reset has a fully waterless formula, giving it a much higher concentration of active botanical ingredients than a conventional shampoo. It cleanses and cares in one step, with rich lather.
The bar works very well for people whose hair gets greasy quickly. The formula cleanses thoroughly without stripping.
Yes. Rich lather was a hard requirement during the development of the Rainforest Reset. You don’t have to compromise.
Yes, we’re a very sustainable brand. Several things play a role here: the bar has a waterless formula, so there’s no unnecessary transport of water, the bar lasts 2-3 times longer than a bottle of liquid shampoo, our packaging is more sustainable than a plastic shampoo bottle and is FSC produced. We produce the bars locally, here in the Netherlands. We select our suppliers carefully.
