FAQ
Will this make my hair look greasy?
It depends on how much you use. As a concentrated oil treatment, it is designed to be washed out. However, if you have very thick or curly hair, a single drop can be used on dry ends as a smoothing serum without causing greasiness.
How long does one bottle last?
Yes, despite the 30ml size, a single bottle typically lasts 3 to 4 months with weekly treatments. Because it contains no water or fillers, you only need a very small amount to cover the entire scalp area effectively.
Is it safe for coloured hair?
Yes, the 100% natural ingredients are gentle and will not strip professional hair colour. In fact, the organic sea buckthorn oil can help to enhance the vibrancy of your hair and protect it from environmental oxidative stress.

How to choose beauty & personal care
Choose for your skin, hair and routine before choosing a sustainability badge. A formula that you cannot tolerate or finish is poor value, whatever its packaging claims.
| Check before buying | Why it matters | Trade-off or limit |
|---|---|---|
| Full ingredient list and intended use | Compare the exact formula and avoid ingredients you already know cause a reaction. | 'Natural' and 'hypoallergenic' do not guarantee suitability; seek professional advice for persistent symptoms. |
| Pack size, concentration and refill format | Compare price per 100 ml or 100 g, and whether you can realistically finish it. | A refill is useful only if it fits your container and remains available. |
| Named certification and its scope | Check the exact brand or range in the certifier's register. | Vegan ingredients, animal-testing policies and packaging impact are separate questions. |
Common mistake: Do not treat a green bottle, 'clean beauty' slogan or a high score as proof of medical benefit or allergy safety.
