Annemarie Börlind Review
A family-owned German natural skincare house since 1959 with a verified 4.75/5 US shop rating — legit, but premium-priced with a short return window.

Amazonliss is the flagship at-home keratin treatment line of Bondox Hair — the company you may know better under its former name, Nutree Cosmetics. The corporate history takes a moment to untangle, so here it is plainly: Nutree Professional is a Brazilian hair-care brand founded in Rio de Janeiro by a hairdresser-turned-entrepreneur who built salons and frizz-fighting formulas for curly hair. Two American entrepreneurs, Lance and Natalia (Natalia is a hairstylist), brought the brand to the United States as Nutree Cosmetics, positioning it around a simple observation: American women wanted salon-grade smoothing results without the salon appointment or the salon bill. In the past year the US operation rebranded again to Bondox Hair, named after its hair-botox line, and now describes itself as the USA exclusive partner of Nutree Professional Brazil. Same company, same products, third name — which is worth knowing before you go searching for reviews, because the public record is spread across “Amazonliss,” “Nutree Cosmetics,” and “Bondox Hair.”
On Awin, the affiliate network where the brand runs its partner program, it is listed simply as “Amazonliss (US),” and Amazonliss remains the product name most shoppers actually search for. The pitch is straightforward: a Brazilian-style keratin smoothing treatment — marketed as formaldehyde-free, built around ingredients like acai, cocoa, marine collagen, glutamic acid, and almond oil — that you apply yourself at home for around $25, instead of paying a salon $150 to $300 for a comparable service every few months.
The company is US-based on paper — it publishes a street address at 515 15th Ave W, Palmetto, Florida, along with a phone number and email — but describes itself as a fully online operation with a remote team and no physical office. It sells through its own Shopify storefront and through Amazon, where its flagship kit has accumulated a four-figure review count. By the end of 2022, the company says, its Brazilian Bondox Expert mask had become a fixture in many American salons, and since 2021 it has run an online school teaching stylists keratin and hair-botox techniques. None of that makes it a great buy automatically, but it does make it a real business with real distribution — the baseline question this review exists to answer.
The catalog splits into two families: keratin smoothing and hair botox, plus the maintenance products that keep either one alive.
The Amazonliss keratin line is the classic three-step Brazilian smoothing system: an anti-residue (clarifying) shampoo to open the hair cuticle, the smoothing treatment itself, and an intensive repair mask to finish. You apply the treatment in sections with a fine-tooth comb, then seal it in with a flat iron at 380-460°F — this is the step that does the transformative work, and also the step where DIY technique matters most. The brand claims straightening and shine for up to 4 months. The entry-level kit is a 2.03 fl oz set good for one to two applications; larger 8.45 fl oz and 33.8 fl oz (1 liter) sizes serve people who retreat regularly or work on clients. There is also a simplified “Keratin Unique Step” that compresses the process into a single product, and a “Tanino” variant built around tannin-based smoothing.
The Bondox hair-botox line — now the company’s namesake — is a deep-conditioning, frizz-cleansing mask rather than a straightener. “Hair botox” is a category term (no actual botulinum toxin involved): a filler-style treatment that coats and plumps the hair shaft to smooth frizz and add shine, gentler than keratin and without the same commitment. Brazilian Bondox Expert is the hero product, with Blonde, Dark Brown, and Afro-specific variants tuned for different hair types and tones.
Maintenance and extras round things out: the Anti-Frizz Shampoo & Conditioner Set (sulfate-free aftercare that protects the treatment between redos), a Repair Shot treatment, and small reconstruction booster ampoules. The site also promotes free beauty gifts on US orders over $75 and sells access to its online classes for stylists.
One marketing note to carry with you: the storefront displays a “100,000+ customer reviews” banner and dresses nearly every product in a strikethrough discount. Neither claim is independently verifiable, and when a $55.00 product has apparently been $24.99 for a long stretch, the honest read is that $24.99 is simply the price. Judge the products on the reviews you can verify — more on those below.
Prices below were taken from the brand’s own storefront at bondoxhair.com in July 2026. Strikethrough “list” prices are shown because the site displays them, but treat the sale price as the real price — the discounts appear to be permanent fixtures, and remember that the return policy excludes sale items.

| Repair Shot Hair Treatment, 1.58 oz | $9.99 | — | Single-dose repair treatment |
Two cost realities frame all of this. First, the comparison the brand wants you to make is legitimate: a salon keratin or smoothing service typically runs $150-$300, so even if you buy the kit, the aftercare set, and a flat iron, one successful home treatment pays for itself. The 1 kg Bondox tub at $59.99 for up to 20 applications is genuinely cheap per use if the product suits your hair.
Second, watch the shipping line at checkout. Shipping is weight-based with no advertised free-shipping threshold, and the single most common complaint in the brand’s negative reviews is shipping fees that rival the price of a small order. On a $19.99-$24.99 kit, that can nearly double your real cost. If you are only buying the flagship kit, the Amazon listing at $22.99 (as of July 2026) with Amazon’s shipping terms is often the more rational route; the brand’s own store makes more sense for larger baskets, the $75+ gift threshold, or products Amazon does not carry.
The public record here is moderately sized and genuinely mixed-positive — not a glowing wall of five-star praise, and not a scam pattern either.
Start with Trustpilot, where the profile (under the nutreecosmetics.com domain) shows a 3.9 out of 5 “Great” TrustScore across 184 reviews as of July 2026. The distribution tells the real story: 68% five-star, 9% four-star, and a meaningful 19% one-star. Happy reviewers describe salon-quality results from the Bondox and keratin lines — soft, shiny hair after a single application — along with smooth checkouts and polite, responsive customer service. The unhappy minority clusters tightly around logistics and value: shipping fees that in some cases approached the price of the product itself, delayed deliveries, packages returned to sender over address issues, and complaints about price increases. Product-level complaints exist but are rarer — one reviewer reported dryness and hair loss, another that a silver product for gray hair turned their hair yellow. To the company’s credit, it has replied to 100% of negative reviews, typically within a week, often with apologies and discount offers. That is what an operating business trying to keep its rating looks like.
On Amazon, the flagship 2.03 fl oz keratin kit holds a 4.0 out of 5 average across roughly 1,765 global ratings as of July 2026 — a much larger sample than Trustpilot, and a solid-but-not-stellar score that squares with what keratin treatments are: technique-dependent chemistry that works well for many hair types and disappoints others.
Independent long-form reviews skew positive. Bloggers at Maiden Magick (2025), Liane Chan (2021), and Irene Beauty and More have each published detailed first-person accounts describing hair going from frizzy and unmanageable to smooth for roughly 3-4 months, while flagging honest caveats: a strong chemical smell on opening, stiff-feeling hair until the first wash 48-72 hours later, and the need to redo the treatment as it fades. These are individual experiences, not data, but they are consistent with the aggregate ratings.
What is missing matters too: no BBB profile surfaced in research as of July 2026, and Reddit discussion of the brand is thin — so there is no large adversarial complaint pool beyond Trustpilot, but also no independent accreditation. The brand’s own “100,000+ reviews” claim and its on-site testimonials should be treated as marketing. Netting it out: verified public sentiment lands around 3.9-4.0 out of 5 across a few thousand data points, with results-driven praise on one side and shipping-and-policy frustration on the other. That is a “good with reservations” record, and it is exactly how we scored it.
On legitimacy: yes. This is a real company with a decade-plus product history under the Nutree name, a published Florida address (515 15th Ave W, Palmetto, FL 34221), a working phone line and email, distribution through Amazon as well as its own storefront, an affiliate program on a mainstream network (Awin), and a claimed exclusive US partnership with Nutree Professional of Brazil. Nothing in this research surfaced scam signals — no pattern of taking money without shipping, no fake-company theatrics. Orders arrive; the arguments are about how fast, at what shipping cost, and whether the product suited the buyer’s hair.
On product safety, be a grown-up about what this is. Amazonliss is marketed as formaldehyde-free, which is a meaningful claim in this category — traditional Brazilian straighteners drew years of regulatory scrutiny over formaldehyde and formaldehyde-releasing ingredients, and the FDA has warned about them. But cosmetics are not FDA pre-approved, so “formaldehyde-free” is the brand’s own representation, and the treatment still involves applying a chemical smoothing product and sealing it with a flat iron at 380-460°F. Most of the risk in at-home keratin is thermal and technical: too much heat, uneven sections, or treating already-fragile bleached hair can cause real damage no matter whose kit you use. The small minority of dryness-and-shedding complaints in the reviews are consistent with that reality. Patch test, follow the instructions exactly, and skip DIY entirely if your hair is heavily processed.
The genuinely consumer-unfriendly part is the paperwork. The return policy allows returns within 30 days only for unused items in original packaging, makes you pay return shipping (non-refundable, deducted from your refund), and states flatly that sale items cannot be refunded. Since most of the catalog wears a permanent sale tag, a strict reading makes typical orders effectively final sale. Meanwhile the separate shipping-information page describes 100% refunds within 14 days for defective items — a narrower and shorter policy that does not match the 30-day page. Contradictory policy pages are usually sloppiness rather than malice, but they give the company latitude when a dispute arises, and several Trustpilot complaints trace back to exactly this territory. Assume the stricter policy applies, and if a product arrives damaged or wrong, document it immediately and contact help@nutreecosmetics.com within 14 days.
Add the weight-based shipping fees with no free-shipping threshold, and the honest summary is: legitimate brand, real products with a real 4-ish-star record, wrapped in DTC marketing (perpetual strikethrough discounts, an unverifiable review counter) and policies that put more risk on you than the best e-commerce operators do.
Amazonliss earns a 3.7 out of 5 from LegitScout — good, with reservations you should take seriously. The core product proposition is real and well-evidenced: an at-home, formaldehyde-free-marketed keratin system and a hair-botox line that thousands of verifiable reviewers rate around 4.0 out of 5, at $20-$35 per treatment against a $150-$300 salon alternative. The company behind it is a real, decade-rooted business — Brazilian formulas, US operation, published address and phone, Amazon distribution, and a habit of answering every negative review.
The reservations are equally concrete. Nearly one in five Trustpilot reviews is one-star as of July 2026, driven by shipping fees that can rival small-order product costs, slow or misrouted deliveries, and a return policy that — between the unused-only rule, customer-paid return shipping, the sale-item exclusion, and a contradictory 14-day defective-items page — offers you very little protection once you have clicked buy. The marketing layer (permanent “was $55.00” pricing, a 100,000-review banner nobody can check) asks for more trust than it has earned. And the product itself is technique-dependent chemistry plus a 400-degree iron: great hands get great results, careless ones get damage, and the brand cannot return your hair.
Buy from
Yes, as a business it checks out. Amazonliss is the flagship keratin line of Bondox Hair (formerly Nutree Cosmetics), the US exclusive partner of Nutree Professional of Brazil. It operates a working storefront at bondoxhair.com, publishes a Florida street address (515 15th Ave W, Palmetto, FL), a phone number, and an email, sells through Amazon as well as its own site, and has a substantial public review record: 3.9 out of 5 on Trustpilot across 184 reviews and 4.0 out of 5 across roughly 1,765 Amazon ratings for the flagship kit as of July 2026. The company replies to essentially all negative Trustpilot reviews. It is a real brand with real products — just one with recurring shipping complaints and a tight return policy, which is why it scores 'good with reservations' rather than higher.
The brand markets the Amazonliss keratin treatment as formaldehyde-free, and its Amazon listing carries the same claim. That matters because traditional Brazilian keratin straighteners were notorious for formaldehyde or formaldehyde-releasing ingredients. That said, this is still a chemical smoothing process you seal in with a flat iron at 380-460°F, so the real-world risk is mostly thermal and technique-driven: used carelessly, high heat can damage any hair, and a minority of reviewers report dryness or shedding. Cosmetics are not pre-approved by the FDA, so 'formaldehyde-free' is the brand's own claim. Patch test, follow the instructions exactly, and if your hair is heavily bleached or fragile, talk to a stylist before trying any at-home smoothing treatment.
As of July 2026, the flagship Amazonliss Keratin Treatment Set (2.03 fl oz, good for 1-2 applications) sells for $24.99 on bondoxhair.com (listed against a $55.00 strikethrough price) and about $22.99 on Amazon. The simplified Keratin Unique Step is $19.99 solo or $34.99 as a set, the larger Brazilian Keratin Step 2 refill is $74.99, and the Anti-Frizz Shampoo & Conditioner maintenance set is $34.99. On the hair-botox side, Brazilian Bondox Expert runs $24.99 for 8.8 oz or $59.99 for the 1 kg salon size. For comparison, a salon keratin service typically costs $150-$300, which is the brand's core pitch.
The brand claims smoothing and frizz reduction for up to 4 months, and independent bloggers who have used the kit report roughly 3-4 months of results before a redo is needed. Longevity depends heavily on aftercare: you generally need to wait 48-72 hours before the first wash and then use sulfate-free maintenance products (the brand sells its own Anti-Frizz Shampoo & Conditioner Set for this). Swimming, frequent washing, and harsh shampoos will shorten the effect. This is a semi-permanent smoothing treatment, not permanent straightening — your natural texture returns as it washes out.
Read this before buying. The stated return policy allows returns within 30 days, but only for unused items in original packaging, you pay return shipping, and sale items are explicitly non-refundable — significant because much of the catalog is permanently marked down. A separate shipping-information page says 100% refunds within 14 days apply to defective items, so the two policies do not fully agree; assume the stricter reading. Shipping is weight-based and calculated at checkout, with US delivery quoted within 5 business days and international delivery at 10-35 business days to 200+ countries; multiple Trustpilot reviewers complain that shipping fees on small orders can approach the product's own price. US orders over $75 get free beauty gifts, but no free-shipping threshold is advertised.
It is a different trade. A salon treatment costs $150-$300 and comes with a professional's technique, heat control, and accountability; Amazonliss costs about $23-$35 per application and puts all of that on you. Reviewers who follow the multi-step process carefully — clarifying shampoo, precise application, thorough flat-ironing in thin sections — frequently report results they compare to salon visits, and the math strongly favors DIY if you retreat every 3-4 months. But outcomes vary with hair type and skill, and mistakes (too much product, uneven ironing, wrong temperature) are on you. If your hair is expensive to fix or heavily processed, the salon premium buys real insurance.
