What are the benefit of using rosemary hair oil?

Rosemary Oil Extract

Rosemary has been used for centuries as a healing herb thanks to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties. When applied to the scalp, rosemary oil is known for supporting healthier hair and improving overall scalp comfort.

How Rosemary Oil Helps Your Hair

1. Improves Blood Flow to the Scalp
Rosemary oil helps increase circulation, bringing more nutrients and oxygen to the hair follicles. Healthy follicles grow stronger, thicker strands. This is similar to how common hair-growth treatments work.

2. Supports Hair Regrowth
Poor blood flow is linked to androgenetic alopecia (male-pattern hair loss). Compounds in rosemary, like rosmarinic acid, help relax and widen blood vessels, feeding the follicles and encouraging new growth. Another compound, 12-methoxycarnosic acid, may help block excess androgens, which can contribute to hair thinning.

3. Shown to Be as Effective as Minoxidil 2%
In a six-month study, rosemary oil performed as well as 2% minoxidil for improving hair growth in men with male-pattern hair loss without the common side effects. Similar results were also seen in animal studies.

4. Helps Reduce Dandruff
While not a guaranteed cure, rosemary oil has natural antifungal properties. These may help reduce fungal activity linked to dandruff and other scalp issues.

5. Soothes an Itchy, Irritated Scalp
Thanks to its anti-inflammatory benefits, rosemary oil can help calm redness, dryness, and itchiness especially when irritation is caused by mild fungal buildup or scalp sensitivity

In our formula, we use rosemary extract instead of rosemary essential oil, making it much gentler and safer for sensitive scalps. The rosemary antioxidant is created through Supercritical CO₂ extraction, a clean method that preserves the plant’s most beneficial bio-active compounds without heat or harsh chemicals.

We blend this pure extract with manuka, magnolia, pepper, and bisabolol extracts, all known to help balance the scalp microbiome and calm irritation. These soothing botanicals are then mixed into a base of organic pomegranate seed oil, broccoli seed oil, and black cumin seed oil—nutrient-rich oils that deeply nourish and support the scalp barrier.

The full formula has been tested by an Irish laboratory, where it showed a 76% increase in moisturisation and a significant reduction in inflammation among participants. Our Rosemary Oil for Hair & Scalp is made and tested in Ireland

Together, these ingredients create a powerful yet gentle scalp treatment that supports comfort, moisturisation, and healthier hair growth.
