Hair oil is a useful step for dry, damaged or frizz-prone hair. Our Natural Scalp & Hair Oil blends eleven oils chosen to nourish and strengthen the hair, improving lustre, shine and manageability. Applied to the scalp and lengths, it supports the condition of hair from root to tip.
Kakadu plum hair oil: the eleven oils and what each one does
Hair often becomes drier or more fragile over time, and needs more care than it once did. We researched widely before settling on a blend of eleven oils carrying the nutrients and fatty acids that support hair condition naturally — free from silicones and the other ingredients we leave out as a matter of course.
Here is what each oil contributes.
Terminalia ferdinandiana (Kakadu plum seed oil)
Our hero ingredient, known for its high concentration of vitamin C, antioxidants and essential minerals. It is rich in omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids, which moisturise and nourish the strands, improve scalp condition, support strength and elasticity, add shine and softness, and help control frizz.
Rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary oil)
A versatile oil that supports circulation in the scalp. It helps condition the hair follicles, is traditionally used against dandruff, and adds shine to dull hair. Rosemary oil also has soothing properties that can ease scalp irritation and itchiness.
Argania spinosa (argan oil)
Renowned for its vitamin E content and essential fatty acids, which make it an excellent moisturiser for dry and damaged hair. It helps restore shine, manageability and elasticity while reducing frizz.
Vitis vinifera (grape seed oil)
Packed with antioxidants, including vitamin E and linoleic acid. It nourishes the hair, supports the strands against breakage, and is light enough not to weigh hair down.
Simmondsia chinensis (jojoba seed oil)
Jojoba closely resembles the natural oils produced by our scalp, which makes it particularly well suited to hair care. It moisturises, helps prevent dryness and breakage, and supports a healthy scalp while adding a natural lustre.
Santalum album (sandalwood oil)
Calming and soothing on the scalp, helping to reduce irritation. It nourishes the hair and leaves it feeling thicker and more manageable.
Pelargonium graveolens (geranium oil)
Known for its balancing properties, which makes it suitable for both dry and oily scalps. It helps regulate oil production and acts as a natural conditioner, leaving hair soft and moisturised.
Lavandula angustifolia (lavender oil)
A calming aroma that relaxes the mind. Lavender helps balance the scalp’s natural oils and nourishes the follicles, and is traditionally used to soothe dandruff and itchiness.
Cananga odorata (ylang ylang oil)
A sweet floral fragrance with practical benefits: it helps regulate oil production and adds natural shine.
Mentha piperita (peppermint oil)
Stimulates the scalp and supports blood circulation. It gives a cooling sensation, helps calm scalp inflammation, and adds a refreshing scent.
Cannabis sativa (hemp seed oil)
Rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which nourish and moisturise hair and scalp. It supports the hair shaft against breakage and adds volume and shine, with antioxidants that help protect against environmental damage.
Together these oils deliver a range of nutrients, vitamins and fatty acids that support the condition of your hair. Used consistently, you should notice a difference in how hair looks and feels from roots to tips.
Key benefits

How to use it
Warm a few drops between your palms and work through the mid-lengths and ends, or massage into the scalp and leave for twenty minutes before washing. Less is more — most people use considerably more than they need.
For dry or damaged hair, pairing the oil with a weekly Deep Nourishing Hair Treatment Mask does more than either on its own.
