Most botanical hair oil is close to a year old by the time you open it. Flora Kasa is pressed and blended in small batches in the Bay Area, California, and every bottle carries the week it was made.
120 ml · eight botanicals · no mineral oil, no fragrance, no silicone
Botanical oils oxidize. That's chemistry, not marketing — unsaturated fats react with oxygen, light and heat, and the clock starts the day the seed is pressed. Ship a bottle across an ocean, clear customs, warehouse it, sit it on a shelf, and a lot of what you paid for is already gone. You usually can't see it. Sometimes you can smell it.
We blend about 200 bottles at a time and print the week on each one. The glass is dark amber because light is the other half of the problem. If a bottle sits too long, it doesn't ship.
No mineral oil, no added fragrance, no silicone. Every ingredient in here is doing a job, and the ones your grandmother would recognise are near the top of the list, not the bottom.
Phyllanthus emblica
Indian gooseberry, the backbone of hair oiling for centuries. Rich in vitamin C and polyphenols.
Eclipta alba
Called the king of herbs for hair in Ayurvedic practice. Infused into the base rather than added as an extract.
Bacopa monnieri
A traditional companion to bhringraj in scalp preparations, valued for its conditioning feel.
Rosmarinus officinalis
Kept deliberately low. High essential-oil loads irritate scalps rather than help them.
Simmondsia chinensis
A liquid wax ester, structurally close to the scalp's own sebum. Absorbs without sitting on top.
Ricinus communis
Heavy, slow, and traditional. Cut with lighter oils so it spreads instead of clinging.
This is oiling the way it's been done for a long time. Sunday night, an hour before a wash, or overnight if you can stand a pillowcase.
Decant a small amount and warm it between your palms, or stand the dropper in a mug of hot water for a minute. Warm oil spreads further and feels better.
Part in sections and work it into the scalp with your fingertips, not your nails. Give it four or five minutes. The massage is not the optional part.
An hour minimum, overnight if you like. Shampoo twice. Once or twice a week is the whole routine — more often isn't better.
This category runs on promises nobody can keep. We would rather draw the line ourselves and let you decide where you stand.
