MORE ABOUT THE INGREDIENTS:

Aloe Vera

The high levels of Vitamin A found in aloe vera gel are known to help produce sebum also referred to as your scalp's natural moisturizer. It also reduces excessive inflammation and soothes any irritations you may have from scratching. 

Coconut Oil

This is your secret ingredient for moisturizing dry skin, adding shine, killing bacteria, and promoting hair growth. It was the first plant-based oil used by mankind! 

Almond Oil 

Almond Oil has long been used for its repairing and strengthening properties. High in antioxidants and Vitamin E, almond oil is an essential ingredient for healthy hair and scalp. 

Tea Tree (Melaleuca) Essential Oil

From the melaleuca plant in Australia, this oil has been used medicinally for hundreds of years for its antimicrobial properties. Clinical studies have shown that adding tea tree oil into your haircare routine can result in a significant decline in dandruff. Tea tree essential oil is also used for treating lice!

Rosemary Essential Oil

Mediterranean cultures have used rosemary essential oil for hundreds of years to promote hair growth. Rosemary improves circulation, which means your follicles can get all the nutrients they need to stay alive and well.

Lemon Essential Oil

Both antiseptic and antimicrobial, lemon essential oil makes sure your scalp is squeaky clean. Lemon is particularly good for oily scalps, but it's also great for treating dandruff and scalp acne. Remember that lemon essential oil is phototoxic, so don't apply this to the scalp if you're going to be in the sun within the next 12 hours.
