ECLIPTA PROSTRATA LEAF OIL

Description

Eclipta Prostrata Leaf Oil is derived from the leaves of Eclipta prostrata, a plant commonly known as false daisy or bhringraj. This botanical extract has gained significant attention in the haircare industry due to its potential benefits for hair growth and scalp health. Rich in phytochemicals, including wedelolactone and ecliptine, the oil exhibits antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that may help protect hair follicles from oxidative stress and environmental damage.

Studies suggest that Eclipta Prostrata Leaf Oil may stimulate hair follicles and promote the anagen phase of hair growth, potentially leading to increased hair density and reduced hair fall. Its emollient properties can help improve hair texture and manageability, while also providing nourishment to the scalp. The oil is often incorporated into hair treatments, shampoos, and conditioners targeting hair thinning and scalp issues.

When formulating with Eclipta Prostrata Leaf Oil, it is typically used in concentrations ranging from 0.1% to 2% in leave-on products and up to 5% in rinse-off formulations. It blends well with other botanical oils and can be combined with complementary ingredients like caffeine and biotin for enhanced hair care benefits.
