The Hair Care Market size is expected to grow from USD 87.39 billion in 2023 to USD 104.60 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 3.66% during the forecast period (2023-2028). Increasing celebrity endorsements and rising awareness about the harmful effects of chemicals and synthetic products augment the demand for natural, organic and vegan hair care products. ProTec Botanica proudly provides a growing portfolio of natural and organic scalp and hair care solutions. See our selected essential oils for formulating hair and scalp care products below.


Lavender

Lavender can help maintain a healthy scalp and hair thanks to its antimicrobial and antifungal qualities. This benefits all hair and scalp types, particularly those with sensitive scalps. It can ward off common issues like itchy scalp, dandruff, and infections and even reduce the likelihood of encountering head lice. Lavender Oil nourishes hair, giving it a pleasant scent and may even promote relaxation.


Rosemary

Rosemary Oil is known for its scalp-soothing properties, potential to reduce and prevent hair loss, and ability to combat dandruff. It is thought to prevent hair loss by increasing blood supply to the follicles, preventing them from dying off and leading to hair loss. Additionally, it may assist in delaying the onset of grey hair. What’s particularly advantageous about Rosemary Oil is that it benefits the hair follicle, making it suitable for all hair types.


Lemongrass

Lemongrass is a popular ingredient in shampoo and other hair products. This is because it can help combat excessively oily hair & scalps and eliminate accumulated dirt & pollutants in the hair follicles.

A Look at Tamanu Oil

Tamanu Oil is obtained from the plant Calophyllum inophyllum, a large, low-branching, slow-growing evergreen tree that can grow up to 20 metres tall and is prevalent along the Mekong River Delta in Vietnam and the islands of Madagascar and Vanuatu. The tree thrives alongside tropical shores, where brackish water is present, and it takes approximately 1 – 2 months after germination before the seedling can be moved into full sunlight, where the plant can begin its lifecycle journey. The tree typically produces fruit after 4 – 5 years of growth, flowering all year round thereafter.

There are a range of benefits that Tamanu Oil offers for your hair and skin, a popular ingredient when looking to help with problems such as:

Reduces Scar and Stretchmarks
