Make It Yours

Pro Tips & Storage

  • For enhanced performance: Add 4 drops alpha-bisabolol to help calm the scalp and support a more balanced environment, allowing the blend to work more effectively over time.

  • Leave on for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for a deeper treatment, then wash out as usual.

  • Use 2–3 times a week, or whenever your scalp feels tight or dry.

  • Gently warm your oil before use by placing the bottle in a bowl of warm water. This helps the oil spread more easily, helps encourage better circulation and makes your scalp massage feel even more relaxing.

  • Essential oils should never be applied neat to the scalp. Avoid eyes and broken skin, and patch test first.
