Why it works:
- The combination of castor oil and rosemary essential oil can help nourish and strengthen both hair and lashes.
- Castor oil is rich in fatty acids and vitamins that can promote growth
- Rosemary oil stimulates circulation and prevents hair loss.
For the geek in you:
- The ricinoleic acid in castor oil helps to reduce scalp inflammation and promotes a healthier environment for hair growth.
- The fatty acids in castor oil are essential for the production of prostaglandins, which regulate the hair growth cycle.
- Rosemary oil inhibits the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). High levels of DHT are linked to androgenetic alopecia (male/female baldness).
- Rosmary oil contains carnosic acid which helps to reduce inflammation in the scalp, allowing the hair follicles to function more optimally.
