For our Scalp Treatments, we recommend they are stored at room temperature (20-25°C). We use unrefined shea butter in our Problematic Scalp Treatment which may solidify or formulate grainy texture in temperatures below 15°C.

Most, if not all, of our products contain essential oils that may not be recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding. However, the concentration of essential oils in our products is 0.02% (sensitive skin) to 1.0%. These dilutions typically don’t cause any concerns for safety. We recommend seeking advice from your doctor prior to using our products if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Essential oils can only be used between 1-4% on bath & body products. Essential oils are extremely concentrated and not using them within their safety limit can cause adverse effects. Our herbal extracts are diluted with the rest of the oils so it is hard to determine the final percentage.

The concentration of essential oils in our products is 0.02% (sensitive skin) to 1.0%. These dilutions typically don’t cause any concerns for safety. Just to be on the safe side, please consult your healthcare professional to get a second opinion.

I recommend trying our Complete Hair Care Bundle, which includes a Scalp Treatment of your choice, Rose Hair Elixir and Herbal Hair Mask. These are our most celebrated products on the website. Though they all work on different issues, they maintain one goal: Enhance the overall health of the hair.

Our Scalp Treatments work at the scalp/root of the hair strands to provide nutrients + support hair growth. Our Herbal Hair Mask moisturizes + repairs any damage caused to your hair strands and texture. Our Rose Hair Elixir adds shine and acts as a daily serum for extremely dry and frizzy hair.

For reviving and accelerating hair growth, we highly recommend our Scalp Treatments. Hair growth starts at the root, which is why the key to optimal hair growth is nourishing your follicles. With 1-2 applications per week with a Scalp Treatment of your choice, you will begin to see hair growth results in at least 90 days. As long as you remain consistent, your hair growth will continually accelerate.

Our products do not belong in the drug category therefore aren’t specifically tested as a medicinal solution for hair loss conditions. However, we have many customers who have used our Rosemary Scalp Treatment and experienced hair growth in areas/patches where they were experiencing hair loss. We also have customers that have used our Rosemary Scalp Treatment with hair loss conditions and experience positive results (see Before & After transformations).

We seek to elevate scalp care in the haircare industry where it is often neglected. With this, our products including the Rosemary Scalp Treatment seek to encourage scalp care + frequent scalp massages. The scalp is the last layer of the skin to receive nutrients essential for hair growth. This is why our products are developed + formulated to topically nourish the follicles for optimal growth.

Our products are not specifically formulated or tested for Keratin-treated, colored or bleached hair, hair extensions, or locs. Having said that, many of our customers with these types of hair do use our products without any issue.

It's very common that different people don't smell things the same way as each individual has different levels of smell receptors in our noses. With this, every individual senses smell differently, and the strength of the scent may vary for every individual.

If you are sensitive to scents, this product may have a strong scent to you.

With the recommended small amount of application per use, our scalp products will not clog your pores.

The two main ingredients that cause the ‘tingling’ feeling and help enhance blood circulation in the scalp are: peppermint oil and tea tree oil. Although the sensation is often uncomfortable when applied too much, it shouldn’t be causing pain of any sort.

Peppermint oil is historically used for medicinal purposes (headaches, muscle pains, scalp irritations like dryness and dandruff). It is completely normal to have the ‘tingling’ or ‘cooling’ sensation when you apply our Scalp Treatments because it is increasing blood circulation to the scalp and creating a healthier environment for hair growth.

This can be an indicator that you are applying too much product. We recommend using only a small amount at a time, and apply sparingly. Over time, feel free to adjust the amount you use to avoid overapplication.

Most people do not touch their scalp at all + focus on the actual length of the hair. With this, when you start incorporating scalp massages into your hair routine, you will notice hair dropping on the floor/hands. We are supposed to lose 50-100 hairs a day and oftentimes, they are cut off from the root and lingering/hanging on. Once you massage your hair, you will notice them falling and it may scare you. This will only occur initially. As you continue scalp massages twice a week with regular brushing, you will notice normal hair loss.

If you're not combing your hair every day, these hair strands can be loosened and still be sticking around on your hair/head waiting to fall. When you apply a Scalp Treatment or Herbal Shampoo, you might notice them falling all at once when in reality, they may have been a little loose from before. During use of our products, hair strands will stick to your hands, making them more noticeable. It also may be possible that you're applying too much product. We advise that you use the tiniest amount for each section of your scalp. For our Scalp Treatments, It is important to section out your scalp and apply it directly on the white strip of the scalp.

We apologize for the inconvenience, this is due to the packaging being tight + freshly sealed, resulting in having no air inside the bottle. We recommend unscrewing the nozzle to let the air in. While unscrewed, we recommend testing the spray until product comes out. Once product comes out, you may screw the nozzle back on for use.

No, it will not dry out your scalp. Our Herbal Shampoo gently cleanses the scalp of excess oil and dirt without stripping off the natural hair sebum that is vital for hair growth. This way, your scalp is not dried out and your follicles receive proper nourishment.
