Sattva Maha Bhringraj Hair and Scalp Oil, 100 ml

Sattva Maha Bhringraj is a pre-wash oil for the hair and scalp. Bhringraj is the plant Eclipta prostrata, also known as Eclipta alba. This formula combines its leaf extract with several carrier oils and other botanical ingredients.

Sesame, coconut, sunflower and wheat germ oils form the base. Castor oil, neem oil and amla fruit extract complete the blend. The treatment can improve softness and shine. The manufacturer describes it as supportive care for strong roots and natural hair growth.

For a hair oiling routine, massage a small amount into your scalp and allow time for the oil to work before washing. Jasmine and camphor oils contribute to the distinctive herbal, floral scent, which some people may find strong.
