Key oils for the hair: COCONUT OIL, SWEET ALMOND OIL, MORINGA OIL, SESAME OIL
HAIRY BASIL ROOT: there’s a reason why Indian ancients worshipped the Holy Basil plant twice a day. Its essential oils and phytonutrients make it an almost miraculous herb with incredible healing properties. Within our Ultra Luxuriant Hair Elixir, it stimulates hair papilla cells, rejuvenates the scalp and makes hair fuller.
AMLA: is a super food. It’s nature’s richest source of vitamin C with approximately 20 times the vitamin C content of oranges and almost twice the antioxidant power of acai berry. All amazing at strengthening hair right from the roots and preserving its natural colour and lustre.
GOTU KOLA (BRAHMI): contains phytochemicals including beta-carotene, camphol and campesetol, and is a source of the minerals calcium, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, selenium and zinc as well as vitamin C, B–1, B–2 and B–3. Gotu Kola stimulates microcirculation, which enables greater oxygen and nutrient intake by the follicle, thereby enriching its growth.
BHRINGRAJ: is a wonderfully rejuvenating herb, with antioxidant properties which protect against the ageing process. It’s known to promote healthy hair, and prevent hair loss and greying.
VETIVER: has both healing and regenerative properties, which stimulate collagen production and improve the dermal structure of your scalp thereby nourishing the hair follicle.
COCONUT OIL: is the richest natural source of medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs), special types of fatty acid with antibacterial and antimicrobial properties that also nourish the scalp and hair. Its molecular structure allows it to penetrate hair in ways that other oils can’t.
SWEET ALMOND OIL: is bursting with Vitamin E, monounsaturated fatty acids, proteins, potassium and zinc and a host of vitamins that your hair needs. Although it’s in the hair not scalp section, we’ve found it gets rid of cradle cap far better than any of the chemical shampoo treatments that our pediatricians recommended.
MORINGA OIL: is rich in the phytonutrients your skin loves, Moringa seed oil strengthens hair by delivering important minerals and vitamins to the hair follicles.
SESAME OIL: is a warming, nourishing oil rich in fatty acids, including linoleic acid, and vitamin E, D and B complex as well as minerals that strengthen hair. We use it because sesame oil’s warming properties balance the cooling effects of coconut oil.
