A little more clarity

The questions worth asking before you buy.

  • Can I use an oil without an oily finish all day?

    The PALIM approach · Rosemary hair & scalp oil Yes: put it on before you wash. A few drops on your lengths, 15 minutes or more, then shampoo it out. All the softness, without the oily day.
  • Is rosemary oil a hair-growth treatment?

    The PALIM approach · Rosemary hair & scalp oil It's a pre-wash conditioning oil for hair and scalp. We make no hair-growth claim.

A few things worth knowing

Does rosemary oil help my hair grow?

We do not make a hair-growth claim for this formula. This is a conditioning oil for hair and scalp before washing, designed for the days your lengths need a little more care.

How do I wash it out, and can I use my usual shampoo?

Yes—shampoo thoroughly and rinse. Water alone will not remove the oil. If your hair still feels oily, shampoo once more and use fewer drops next time. It is a pre-wash step, not a leave-in styling oil.

How much should I use on fine or thick hair?

Start with a few drops on dry mid-lengths and ends. Fine or short hair generally needs less; add a little more for longer or thicker lengths. Begin lightly so it is easier to wash out.

How long and how often should I leave it on?

Leave it on for at least 15 minutes, then shampoo. Around once a week, or when your ends feel dry, is a useful starting point. We have not tested overnight use.

Can I use it on my scalp as well?

Yes, it is formulated for hair and scalp. If you choose to, massage in a few drops gently before washing. It contains fragrance and essential oils, so check the ingredients if your scalp is sensitive and stop if irritation occurs.

Do I need to dilute it or add another treatment?

No dilution is needed: the rosemary and peppermint oils are already blended into plant oils. You can keep your usual shampoo and conditioner. A mask is optional, rather than another step you need to add.

Is it vegan, and does it contain nuts?

It is vegan and contains sweet almond oil, a tree nut. Please do not use it if you have an almond allergy. The complete ingredient list is above.

What does it smell like?

Vanilla and woody notes, with peppermint. It contains fragrance.
