Watercress Oil

Watercress oil contains a large collection of important plant compounds to skin and scalp health, particularly vitamin A (beta-carotene), vitamin C, vitamin E, and various phytonutrients including carotenoids, chlorophyll and phenolic compounds. These work to protect the skin, scalp, and hair from the damage of the sun’s rays, as well as pollution, and other environmental factors that can damage our strands.

These compounds also keep locks strong and protected from the drying external effects that can cause them to become brittle and break more easily.
