What’s in our Nourishing Hair Oil formulation?
Our second formulated product, and what a beauty it is. When developing this product, we had to keep the following in mind
- Your hair is dead: Once your hair emerges through your scalp, it is dead. It is not a live organism that can heal itself, with or without your help. So how do we address damaged hair?
- Oils can be heavy: We need to select our lightest oils to ensure we’re not giving people greasy hair
- We must uphold our values: Small batch production, formulated with experts using efficacious ingredients, transparency in the ingredients that we use, keeping the ingredients list simple and managing our impact on the environment
All this considered we embarked on our journey to develop the Nourishing Hair Oil. A powerhouse blend of light seed and flower oils to condition the hair with an oil protein element to help strengthen the hair.
Here’s our ingredient list with the what’s and why’s
Marigold
Antioxidant to protect against oxidative stress
Rich in flavanoids, that act as antioxidants. This oil can reduce the damage to your hair caused by oxidative stress such as dust, pollution and UV rays
Sunflower Seed Oil
Stops breakage
Sunflower oil contains oleic acid, which can stop hair breakage and may make it seem like hair is growing faster (since the ends aren’t breaking off).
Can penetrate the hair fibers and coat the hair with a thin film to protect it from damage. It also can increase hair shine and decrease surface friction to help fight hair frizz
Sweet Almond Oil
Pumpkin Seed
Antioxidant
Contains Vitamin E and mineral antioxidants giving this oil a broad diversity of antioxidant abilities protecting your hair from environmental stress
Moisturizing
Rich levels of Omega 6 Fatty Acids and Vitamins E, A & K effectively nourish the hair
Moringa Seed Oil
The high protein content of moringa seed oil helps to restructure your hair and strengthen it.
It has zinc that helps with keratin production and can help strengthen hair
Improves shine and elasticity
Has one of the highest naturally occurring behenic acid levels, a common ingredient in conditioners. It can revitalize dull, brittle strands.
Baobab Seed Oil
The high omega-3 fatty acid in baobab oil may help moisturize dry hair and strengthen weak, brittle hair.
Isostearyl Hydrolyzed Keratin
Improves hair strength and moisturizes damaged hair. It also bridges the gaps of damaged hair to give hair a smooth and glossy texture. Promois series is a range of peptides and derivatives obtained through the hydrolysis of natural proteins.
Wheat Germ Oil
High levels of vitamin E allows us to use this ingredient as a natural preservative
Antioxidant
Natural vitamin E to protect hair from environmental stress
Rosemary Essential Oil
Rosemary essential oil has immense benefits for the scalp which is why we added it to our Scalp Elixir. However, in this formulation we have used it to neutralise the natural scent of the oil.
