8 clinically proven ingredients for scalp and hair health

There are at least 8 clinical studies that prove the effectiveness of the ingredients in the Scalp Elixir. This is a big deal because it is not often that clinical studies are performed on ingredients like these.

Why not?

Clinical studies are expensive, and they take up a lot of time so it’s usually bigger brands or pharmaceuticals who conduct them. For example, while there are plenty of studies on Minoxidil for hair growth, there are only two studies on Rosemary Essential Oil for hair growth. But both studies yielded very positive results in favor of Rosemary Essential Oil.

We do feel that even though the clinical studies might be few, they are worth taking note of. It gives people the option for a natural route when dealing with scalp and hair health with ingredients that have been vetted in the science community.

So, let’s talk about these 8 clinical studies

There are 11 different plant, seed and flower oils in the Scalp Elixir. 8 of them have clinical studies that prove their effectiveness when it comes to scalp and hair health.

And there you have it!

Ingredients that were purposefully selected to ensure that your scalp can perform at its optimal level, and you can produce healthier, stronger hair.

But what about the other products in the Scalp Elixir, why were they chosen? Castor seed oil has a lot of anecdotal proof in helping with scalp health as it is extremely rich in fatty acids. Sunflower seed oil was added because it is a quick absorbing emollient and finally, we have wheat germ oil which we added as a natural vitamin e preservative for our formulation.

Together these 11 ingredients work like magic on your scalp
