Ukrainian beauty brand Mayur presents burdock oil for skin and hair care. This is a 100% natural, premium quality product that doesn’t contain any preservatives, fragrances or other additives. Vegan. Not tested on animals.
Burdock oil is obtained by steeping burdock roots in vegetable oil, for example, olive, sunflower seed, sweet almond or peach kernel oil. The resulting cosmetic product is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, essential oils, tannins, inulin (a naturally occurring polysaccharide) and other biologically active substances.
Burdock oil is best known as a hair care product. It contains components that nourish hair follicles and stimulate their activity. If you rub burdock oil into your scalp and hair roots, it will help to reduce hair loss and stimulate hair growth, as well as combat dandruff and prevent dry, itchy and flaky scalp.
You can also apply burdock oil along the entire length of your hair, from root to tip, in order to prevent dehydration, brittle hair and split ends. This oil repairs the structure of damaged hair from the inside, smooths down keratin scales on the hair surface, makes the hair stronger, boosts its elasticity and flexibility, and restores the hair’s healthy shine. For a maximum effect, warm the oil up, apply it to your hair, put on a shower cap, wrap your head in a towel and let the oil sit for at least 20 minutes before shampooing.
Burdock oil is less popular as a skincare product, and that’s a shame since it has a lot of skin benefits. Due to its soothing and wound healing properties, this oil is perfect for taking care of dry, sensitive and problem skin. It relieves the symptoms of eczema, acne and some other skin conditions, prevents inflammation and flaking.
