About

A dry scalp doesn’t announce itself. It just feels tight the moment you step out of the shower, itches by mid-afternoon, and gets worse every winter.
This one goes on before you shampoo, not after. Sesame, Sweet Almond and Avocado infused with Neem, Tulsi and Centella into the tight spots, soften them, and wash out with everything they’ve loosened.
Thirty minutes, or leave it as an overnight hair oil if you have time. Then wash it out.

Key Benefits of the Scalp Oil:

  • Calms a dry, tight, itchy scalp
  • Works as a scalp moisturiser, not just a hair oil
  • Softens dry hair ends as well as the scalp
  • Puts moisture back before washing takes it away
  • Leave it overnight when your scalp has really had enough
  • ✔ Silicone Free | ✔ No Synthetic Fragrance | ✔ Vegan Friendly | ✔ UK Made

No mineral oil. No silicones. No parabens.

Active Ingredients:
Neem:
The one doing the heavy lifting on flaking. Neem leaf extract has the longest record of any botanical used on troubled scalps, and paired with rosemary it has been studied for anti-dandruff activity. A treatment, not a moisturiser.

Tulsi:
Holy basil is the reason the scratching eases off. It has been used on irritated scalps in Ayurvedic practice for centuries. That matters more than it sounds, because scratching leaves an inflamed scalp, and an inflamed scalp flakes harder.

Centella (Gotu Kola):
Centella asiatica, better known as gotu kola. The comfort ingredient, studied for its effect on the skin barrier. That matters on a scalp scratched raw or stripped by medicated shampoos, because a damaged barrier flakes anyway.

Shikakai:
Two Ayurvedic scalp botanicals that predate every anti-dandruff shampoo on the shelf. Fenugreek has long been used on flaking scalps, and shikakai loosens the build-up so your shampoo has less to fight through.

Rosemary oil:
Research has examined rosemary and neem extracts together against the yeast associated with dandruff, and that pairing is why both are in this bottle rather than in separate products.

Benefits:
A Flaky Scalp Treatment That Softens Rather Than Scrubs:
Dry flakes cling. Most people end up scratching or scrubbing at them, which irritates the scalp and produces more flaking a few days later. Oiling first loosens them so the shampoo lifts them away cleanly. You'll notice it in what comes off in the shower rather than what lands on your collar.

An Itchy, Flaky Scalp Remedy That Deals With the Cause:
The itch is what keeps the whole thing running. You scratch without noticing, the scalp inflames, and an inflamed scalp flakes harder. Tulsi has been used on irritated scalps in Ayurvedic practice for centuries, and Neem works alongside it. Break the scratching and you've broken most of the cycle.

How to Get Rid of Scalp Build-Up:
Styling residue, dry shampoo and old conditioner settle on the scalp and trap oil underneath. That's what the yeast feeds on, which is why flakes often get worse the more product you use. Think of it as a scalp detox that happens before the wash rather than instead of it.

An Anti-Dandruff Treatment Without the Tightness:
Medicated shampoos work, and plenty of people can't get on with them. They leave the scalp dry, tender and worse than it started. There are no medicated actives in this bottle. Sesame, sweet almond and avocado carry the botanicals in and replenish the skin while they're there.

An Overnight Hair Treatment for Stubborn Flaking:
Thirty minutes is the minimum worth bothering with. As a pre-shampoo treatment it has hours on your scalp rather than the minute a shampoo gets, and overnight is where that pays. It's also the answer if you're wondering why your scalp itches at night: warm room, no distractions, and you notice everything. Old pillowcase, shampoo out in the morning, and expect to wash twice.

How to Use:
1. Section your hair:
Divide into two or four sections so the oil reaches the scalp evenly rather than sitting on the hair.

2. Apply directly to the scalp:
Use the dropper or your fingertips, working along each parting. Focus on the areas that feel dry or tight.

3. Massage for three to five minutes:
Fingertips, not nails. Small circular movements across the whole scalp.

4. Leave it on:
Thirty minutes minimum. Overnight for a more intensive treatment, using an old pillowcase or a hair wrap.

5. Shampoo out thoroughly:
Apply shampoo to dry, oiled hair first, then add water and lather. Rinse until no residue remains. A second wash may be needed after overnight use.
How often: Once or twice weekly.

Safety Precautions:
Age: Adults and children aged 12 and over. External use only.
General: Patch test first if your scalp reacts easily. Stop if it irritates. Don’t apply to broken or irritated skin.
Ingredients: Contains natural essential oils including Bergamot (0.4%), Lemon and Eucalyptus (0.3%).
Usage: Avoid the eyes and rinse with water if it gets in. Not for ingestion.
Storage: Below 25°C, cool and dry, out of direct sunlight. Keep the cap on tight.
