• Benefits of Rosemary Oil Vs Herb for Hair Growth:

Rosemary Oil increases scalp circulation, which can stimulate hair growth while fortifying the follicles to reduce breakage. Its antibacterial properties keep the scalp balanced and free from dandruff. Adding rosemary oil at 1-3% of your formula offers a gentle but effective concentration, perfect for maintaining a healthy scalp environment without overwhelming the skin. For example, if you're making 100mls of a growth oil, your rosemary oil should take up about 1-3mls.

Rosemary Herb is rich in antioxidants, which naturally protect hair from environmental damage and help maintain scalp health. Infusing dried rosemary herb at 2-5% into your carrier oils slowly releases nutrients that nourish the scalp and hair roots. For example, in a 100g bottle of growth oil, the herbs should make up 2-5g of the whole bottle. The natural infusion with the herb conditions hair deeply, resulting in improved shine and strength over time.
