What's in the Oil: 15 Ingredients
Fifteen ingredients. Every one has a job.
Most hair growth oils are a big bottle of carrier oil with a cameo from rosemary. Ours gives every ingredient a real job, at a dose that can do it. Here’s what’s inside, and what each one does.

Coconut oil, and no more
The four that do the heavy lifting
If an ingredient is doing the heavy lifting, you should know how much of it is in the bottle.
10%
Pumpkin seed oil
Rich in phytosterols and fatty acids. Studied for thinning hair too.
30%
Coconut oil
The base. One of the few oils shown to cut protein loss when you wash.
2%
Castor oil
A small dose for slip and shine on the lengths, without the heaviness.
And the eleven that round it out
Scalp feel, scent and the classics of Indian hair oiling. Smaller roles, chosen on purpose.
Peppermint oil
The cool tingle that makes a massage feel like it’s working.
Methi (fenugreek)
Protein and mucilage for slip and softness. Dadi was right.
Brahmi
A classic of traditional Indian hair oils. Conditions scalp and lengths.
Amla
Antioxidant-rich, and a staple of Indian oiling for good reason.
Curry leaf
Straight from South Indian oil blends. Conditions the scalp.
Basil oil
A fresh, green note familiar from Indian hair care.
Lavender oil
A calming scent for night-time champi.
Ylang ylang oil
A soft floral note that rounds off the herbs.
Geranium oil
Fresh and rosy, so the blend feels lighter on the scalp.
Clary sage oil
An earthy, herbal depth in the aroma.
Vitamin E
Naturally sourced antioxidant that keeps the oils fresh.
