Tea Tree Oil / Eucalyptus Oil / Peppermint Oil (Scalp Care Complex)

Represses dandruff: Similar to your gut - or your skin - your scalp plays host to its own unique microbiome. An ecosystem of bacteria, fungi and other microbiota that live within the confines of your skin barrier and the follicles of your hair. One such species is Malassezia - a yeast-like fungus that usually exists in necessary and manageable quantities. In some cases, it becomes overgrown, often leading to seborrheic dermatitis - a common skin disorder. A mild variant of this can affect the scalp and is manifested by dry, flaking scales - otherwise known as dandruff.
The antibacterial and antifungal properties of all three oils are the primary drivers behind their research-proven ability to be effective and well tolerated treatments of scalp seborrheic dermatitis. Their activity is both acute and preventative.
They attack dandruff at its source while helping to alleviate the associated symptoms of redness, itching, and acne across the hairline.
Reduces inflammation: Each of these essential oils helps to reduce inflammation by deploying a potent mix of antioxidants that work to regulate some markers of inflammation - such as C-reactive protein (CRP), a protein in the blood, heightened levels of which are one of the leading causes of hair loss.
Regulates oil production: A common and secondary issue resulting from an overgrowth of bacteria on the scalp is excess oil production. By treating the source of the overproduction, these three essential oils help regulate the scalp's oil production, resulting in a healthier scalp and better-looking hair.
Can contribute to new hair growth: Apart from soothing itchiness, repressing dandruff and preventing excess oil production, peppermint oil in particular has proven vasodilating effects - a widening of the blood vessels. This helps improve blood flow - allowing nutrients to better reach hair follicles, balance the scalp’s pH level, and stimulate the hair growth cycle.
Insecticidal and delousing treatment: Both tea tree and eucalyptus oil have insecticidal properties making them effective treatments for lice - curbing infestation and preventing new eggs from hatching.

Hydrolyzed Keratin

Keratin. It’s a multi-functional protein found in your hair strands that is responsible for its strength and integrity. Hydrolyzed keratin is that same protein molecule broken down into smaller molecules so that it can penetrate the hair strand.
It fills the microscopic gaps throughout the hair shaft, including its three layers known as the cuticle, cortex, and medulla.
It rebuilds the natural protective layer of hair by replacing lost protein and increasing each strand’s diameter. It gives a fuller appearance and temporary strength boost.
It increases moisture retention. It reduces breakage. It smoothes out the hair, minimizes frizz and friction and increases elasticity.
It minimizes the damaging effects of sun exposure, heat styling, chemical treatments, and mechanical manipulation (hair combing).
It makes hair feel stronger, softer and bouncier.

It’s a fat that’s extracted from the nuts of the shea tree. It’s rich in fatty acids, including linoleic, oleic, stearic, and palmitic acids.
It’s moisturizing. When applied topically, these oils are rapidly absorbed into your skin. They act as a “refatting” agent, replenishing lipids and rapidly creating moisture. This contributes to the restoration of your skin barrier, moisture retention and a reduced risk of dryness.
It’s non-greasy. Linoleic acid and oleic acid balance each other out - allowing for an efficient absorption of shea that leaves your skin smooth but not slick after application.
It’s anti-inflammatory. When applied to the skin, it’s plant esters trigger cytokines and other inflammatory cells to slow their production. This may help minimize irritation caused by environmental factors, such as dry weather, as well as inflammatory skin conditions, such as eczema and psoriasis.
It’s antioxidant. It’s rich in vitamins A and E, two nutrients with strong antioxidant activity. Antioxidants are important anti-aging agents. They protect your skin cells from free radicals that can lead to premature aging and dull-looking skin.
It’s antimicrobial. Topical application can help combat acne-causing bacteria on the skin.
It’s antifungal. It helps to fight skin infections caused by certain fungi - such as ringworm and athlete’s foot.
It’s anti-acne. It’s fatty acid content mimics your skin’s production of it’s natural oils, helping to regulate production and clearing it of excess sebum. The result is a restoration of the natural balance of oils in your skin - which can help stop acne before it starts.
It boosts collagen production. Shea butter contains triterpenes - naturally occurring chemical compounds thought to deactivate collagen fiber destruction.
It reduces the appearance of stretch marks and scarring. It stops keloid fibroblasts — scar tissue - from reproducing, while encouraging healthy cell growth to take their place.
It’s naturally sun-protectant. While it can’t be substituted for a sunscreen alone, it does contain a naturally occurring SPF of 4.
