Our Take
A 2023 Glamour Beauty & Wellness Award winner, this protein-free lightweight oil from the Sea Moss range is designed to reduce excessive shedding by addressing the scalp health and hair fragility that causes it — rather than simply coating hair to mask breakage. Sea moss provides mineral-rich nourishment that improves scalp condition over time with consistent use, while the lightweight oil base absorbs quickly without the heavy residue that thicker scalp treatments leave. Works as a scalp treatment massaged in between washes, or as a pre-shampoo oil treatment applied to dry hair before washing. Suitable for all hair types.
