Discover 2023’s Hair Hero: The Rise of Rosemary Water

This fragrant and versatile hair care ingredient has huge benefits to hair health and growth and is being embraced by the most innovative and forward-thinking cosmetic and indie brands around the world.

O&3 creates this truly wonderful product directly from leaves of the rosemary plant, a member of the mint family known for its distinctive aroma and flavour. Rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, rosemary water can promote hair growth, reduce dandruff and itchiness, and improve overall scalp health.

O&3 Rosemary Water comes in two formats: Rosemary Water Hydrolat & Rosemary Water Hydrosol. Hydrolats and hydrosols are often used interchangeably, but there is a subtle difference between the two; Hydrolats are the water-based by-products of the steam distillation of plant material, whereas hydrosols are the water-based product of the steam distillation of aromatic plants.

Many hair care brands have started incorporating rosemary water into their formulations, either as a key ingredient or as part of a botanical blend. From shampoos and conditioners to hair masks and serums, rosemary water is being used in a variety of hair care products to help consumers achieve stronger, healthier, and more vibrant hair.

In this blog, we’ll explore why you should be considering this ‘hair hero’ in your haircare formulations!

What are the benefits of formulating hair care products with Rosemary Water?

Promotes Hair Growth
Rosemary water stimulates the scalp, which can lead to improved hair growth and a better supply of nutrients, leading to stronger and healthier hair.

Prevents Dandruff
It also helps to soothe an itchy scalp, which is often a result of dandruff.

Adds Shine
This natural ingredient has a moisturising effect on the hair, which can help to make it look shinier and more lustrous. It can also help to make hair look thicker, as it promotes hair growth and helps to prevent hair breakage.

Conditions Hair
It is a natural conditioner that can help to improve the texture of hair. It can help to detangle hair, making it easier to style, and can also help to prevent hair from becoming frizzy and dull.
