Oh Ojon. Once you were an indie brand with a cult following-now you are just a small finger on the giant hand of Estée Lauder. Now I love the brand Estée Lauder - their stuff is quality with a capital Q - but ever since Ojon was sold the quality of the brand suffered, and i read they had placed the key ingredient of South American palm oil with African ( a sub par substitute) The new peeps took away my favorite product, Tawaka and Batana. You can still find tubes and jars of each on eBay at inflated prices, I found my last precious tube of Tawaka cream at winners for 12.99, it was a huge score considering that stuff was 60 bucks new. I loved the Batana hair and body line also and grieve it, especially the hair smoother. Weep. The scent of both lines was glorious, like I imagine Valhalla would smell like. Full moisture is the replacement. I ordered mine from the shopping channel last year, and have just finished it now. It's very emollient, lighter feeling than the heavy Tawaka cream. I had to order it, I needed to know what it smelled like. The smell of Ojon products was seriously addictive, I miss them. A lot. Full moisture smells like Ojon hair paste with a hint of lemon pledge. It's nothing like Batana or Tawaka, so if you were expecting that you will be disappointed. It's expensive, I can't remember what I paid but over 35 I am sure. I won't repurchase unless it gets marked down though, i don't love it enough to pay full price. RIP Tawaka, I will always love you.
