Organic oils have been used for centuries and each day they become more relevant and with more applications, including in our daily routine. They are complex substances, with high volatile power and variable fragrances originating from leaves, flowers, stems, barks and roots.

They can be used to purify the scalp, strengthen, improve hair health, irritation and control dandruff. Some organic oils stimulate hair follicles, improve circulation and help to control oiliness on the scalp, which hinders oxygenation and, consequently, hair growth.
