Today we pay attention to a more atypical topic – hair care, since it is most intensively exposed to the harmful influence of synthetic substances. Almost every day we treat our hair with shampoos, conditioners, dyes, fixatives, and many others containing synthetic ingredients that more often than not damage it. Therefore, we remind you that it is good to carefully check the composition of the products you use. Therapies with natural products are proven effective for the recovery and vitality of the hair. We offer you ideas for healthy, shiny, thick, fast-growing hair with the help of highly active but all-natural ingredients.
A recipe to nourish and soothe the scalp and hair
STEP 1: Apply one bottle of “Sensual” oil to washed hair, on the scalp with vigorous frictions to stimulate blood circulation. Spread over the entire length of the hair.
STEP 2: Put on a plastic cap and wrap with a towel for at least an hour or more.
STEP 3: Wash the hair with a mild non-aggressive shampoo – necessarily without sulfates, parabens, silicones, artificial fragrances and dyes!
For intensive hair care: we recommend 10 treatments, twice a week.
For maintenance – twice a month.
For dry and unruly hair: apply a few drops of the product to the ends of washed hair while it is damp.
“Sensual” face and body oil
Face and body oil with ylang-ylang, vetiver, patchouli and galbanium oils – 100% organic ingredients.
“Sensual” face and body oil is a cosmetic product that nourishes and regenerates the skin structure, tones and activates fibroblasts to produce new collagen.
Essential oils easily pass through cell membranes, penetrate the deep layers of the skin and improve its structure and elasticity.
Ylang-ylang oil has a soothing effect and balances sebum secretion.
Patchouli oil stimulates the growth of new cells and regenerates the skin, which in this way leads to faster wound healing and reduction of scars. Patchouli oil is very effective in treating acne, eczema, pimples, ulcers and fungal infections.
Vetiver oil improves skin tone and general immunity. It is effective in the fight against wrinkles, stretch marks and wounds.
Galbanum oil has strong wound healing properties.

Which harmful shampoo ingredients to avoid?
- Sulfates – these are detergents – have degreasing and foaming properties. This is precisely why sulfates can disrupt the oil balance of the scalp, stripping the sebum of natural hair nourishment. Thus, the scalp loses its protective barrier and dries out more easily. This is a prerequisite for inflammation, itching and redness.
- Parabens are preservatives, esters of hydroxybenzoic acid, used in cosmetics and food. You can meet them with names such as methylparaben (Methylparaben E218), ethylparaben (Ethylparaben E214), propylparaben (Propylparaben E216) and butylparaben (Butylparaben). According to official research, parabens have the ability to mimic estrogen and disrupt hormonal balance. A disturbed balance can lead to breast cancer and endocrine diseases.
- Silicone – an artificial ingredient that plays the role of a lubricant in cosmetics and is a rubber, polymer. Creates a deceptive feeling of shiny and smooth hair. The artificial layer of silicone on the hair actually prevents it from hydrating, preventing the necessary moisture from penetrating it. With prolonged use, deposits can form that clog the pores of the scalp and can lead to redness, itching and dandruff.
- Artificial fragrances and dyes – chemical compounds that can lead to allergic reactions and reddening of the scalp.
