Mint
Mentha
Botanical formula
Chosen for : Menthol activates cold receptors and stimulates scalp microcirculation, making every application perceptible. Its antimicrobial properties help maintain a healthy environment at the root.
Moringa
Moringa oleifera
Botanical formula
Chosen for : Moringa oil is rich in behenic acid, a rare fatty acid that coats the hair shaft and eases detangling. Its vitamins A, C, and E content makes it an effective antioxidant against scalp oxidative stress.
Black seed
Nigella sativa
Botanical formula
Chosen for : Black seed is concentrated in thymoquinone, a potent antioxidant, and linoleic acid (omega-6) which helps restore the scalp's moisture balance. Traditionally used for weakened hair, it strengthens the fibre without weighing it down.
Bay laurel
Laurus nobilis
Botanical formula
Chosen for : Bay laurel oil contains cineole and linalool, terpenic compounds that cleanse the scalp and provide a mild soothing action. It has been part of Mediterranean hair rituals for centuries.
Castor
Ricinus communis
Botanical formula
Chosen for : Castor oil is exceptionally rich in ricinoleic acid (around 89%), a hydroxyl fatty acid that penetrates the hair cortex and helps retain moisture at the follicle level. It supports fibre resilience at the root.
Coconut
Cocos nucifera
Botanical formula
Chosen for : Coconut oil's lauric acid has a unique molecular affinity with keratin: its small chain allows it to penetrate the hair fibre, reducing protein loss during manipulation. It also reduces friction between fibres.
Olive
Olea europaea
Botanical formula
Chosen for : Rich in oleic acid (70 to 80%) and squalene, olive oil has a high affinity with the hair cuticle. It seals the scales and improves the softness of lengths, while its hydroxytyrosol acts as an antioxidant.
Sweet almond
Prunus amygdalus dulcis
Botanical formula
Chosen for : Sweet almond oil is 70% oleic acid and also contains linoleic acid. Light and penetrating, it smooths the cuticle, improves slip during application, and leaves the fibre more supple with no residue.
Avocado
Persea americana
Botanical formula
Chosen for : Avocado oil contains palmitoleic acid and plant sterols whose lipid profile is close to human sebum. It penetrates deeply into the fibre and supports the scalp barrier, particularly useful for dense textures.
Argan
Argania spinosa
Botanical formula
Chosen for : Argan oil is rich in tocopherols (vitamin E) and unsaturated fatty acids. Oleic and linoleic. That protect the fibre from mechanical and thermal stress. It reduces friction between strands and gives a supple finish with no greasy feel.
Jojoba
Simmondsia chinensis
Botanical formula
Chosen for : Jojoba is technically a liquid wax. Not an oil. Whose wax ester structure mimics human sebum. It naturally regulates scalp sebum production, is non-comedogenic, and leaves no heavy residue.
