Highlights  

Check out the ingredient benefits for your hair and skin!  

  • Argan Oil – When it comes to hair, argan oil has a protective effect. In a study of women who had just dyed their hair argan poil was shown to decrease the damage caused to hair by the coloring process. And it protects the skin barrier and improves overall texture. Argan oil supports skin with issues such as eczema, psoriasis, or chronic dry skin, due to its highly moisturizing properties. For those with mildly oily skin and acne-prone skin, argan oil can actually help to control sebum levels, minimizing overall breakouts. 
  • Coconut Oil – contains phytonutrients that work wonders for the skin, including oleic & linoleic acids and sesamol.
  • Sunflower Oil – is rich in antioxidants and nutrient-dense, sunflower seed oil and also contains high levels of vitamin E, an ingredient well known for its protective skin benefits.  
  • Rosemary Essential Oil – with its potent antibacterial qualities, it fights acne bacteria from getting into your pores. With its non-comedogenic properties, rosemary essential oil both clears out pores and forms a protective barrier against future breakouts. In a study on hair growth, it’s interesting to note that the formulation containing rosemary oil (10 %) had the best hair growth enhancing effect similar to that obtained from commercial preparations of minoxidil (2 %).
  • Peppermint Essential Oil – helps to reduce stress, relax tension in the body, and relieve sore muscles. It can also aid in reducing symptoms of nausea and improve digestion and an upset stomach. Bonus, peppermint essential oil, supports reduced inflammation, redness, and irritation in the skin, and can promote increased blood circulation in the scalp for improved hair growth. 
  • Cedarwood Essential Oil – has inflammation support and antimicrobial properties. This may be beneficial for skin conditions like acne. One case study indicated that the addition of cedarwood oil to traditional acne treatments was helpful for alleviating and reducing stubborn breakouts. A study from 1998 divided people into two groups: one that only used carrier oils and one that used cedarwood, lavender, rosemary, thyme, and in addition to carrier oils. The group that used the essential oils had a 43% success rate with hair growth. While this study used three other oils along with cedarwood, this shows that essential oils are an inexpensive method for improving hair growth. Plus, your hair will smell great!
