Jojoba Oil (Cold pressed)
Jojoba oil is a liquid wax produced from a desert plant called Simmondsia Chinensis. It is cold pressed from the seeds of the jojoba plant, a shrub, native to California, Arizona and Mexico. Jojoba oil when applied to the skin has absorption properties similar to sebum (oil) and prevents moisture loss. Jojoba oil conditions your hair and prevents it from being dry, brittle and dull
Rosemary Essential Oil
Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) essential oil is steam distilled from the leaves, flowers and twigs of R. officinalis and the numerous sub varieties. It is a pale yellow to almost colorless mobile liquid with a strong, fresh, woody-herbaceous smell. Rosemary is probably one of the best known and most used of the aromatic herbs. It is a relaxing and revitalizing oil that has the ability to heal wounds and regenerate the skin. The oil is reputed to stimulate hair growth and prevent premature baldness and well as used in the prevention of dandruff.
Beauty Note: This herb should not be used by anyone who is pregnant or suffering from epilepsy. Because rosemary is a stimulant, it should not be used by heart patients.
West Indian Bay Essential Oil
West Indian Bay (Pimenta racemosa) essential oil is steam distilled or water distilled from the leaves of the tree native to West Indies and is cultivated in Venezuela, Puerto Rico and the Caribbean Islands. The oil is recommended as a scalp stimulant and can also be used as a hair rinse for those who suffer with dandruff.
Chamomile Essential Oil
Chamomile essential oil is distilled from the flowering tops of Anthemis nobilis. It is a native of Western Europe and is now cultivated in England, Belgium, France and Hungary. Using pure chamomile essential oil on the scalp helps to strengthen the capillaries that supply blood to the scalp and hair follicles and improve elasticity.
Precautions: Chamomile is in the Ragweed family and may react with those who have extreme sensitivities to the Ragweed family.
