Is rosemary water the secret to healthy hair growth? If you follow various #hairtok trends on TikTok and other social media, you have no doubts. Influencers share incredible hair growth results after months of use, and at Mellow Mind rosemary is also one of our hero ingredients to use when developing hair care products.
Read along here where we go in-depth with rosemary water, talk about what it is, how it is produced and share the scientific evidence behind the ingredient.
WHAT IS ROSEMARY WATER AND HOW IS IT MADE?
Rosemary water is a liquid made from water and rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis), which is popular in natural beauty products and often used in hair care products for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Rosemary water can be made by boiling or steam-distilling fresh or dried rosemary sprigs. When the mass has cooled, the liquid is filtered to remove the rosemary residues and it is ready for use.
Both steaming and boiling rosemary leaves can release the beneficial substances in the plant. At Mellow Mind, we only use steam-distilled rosemary water, as there are certain advantages to steaming rosemary leaves instead of boiling them:
1/ PRESERVATION OF ACTIVE NUTRIENTS AND ESSENTIAL OILS
Steaming rosemary leaves can help retain more nutrients and essential oils in the plant compared to boiling, as steaming preserves more of the water-soluble vitamins and minerals, ensuring that the essential oils provide the plant with its distinctive aroma and health benefits.
2/ MORE GENTLE PRODUCTION METHOD
Steaming can also reduce the risk of overcooking rosemary leaves, which can result in a bitter taste and loss of nutrients and essential oils.
WHAT DOES SCIENCE SAY ABOUT ROSEMARY WATER?
Before we dive into how rosemary water is beneficial for hair and why we love it, we think it's important to share the evidence behind the ingredient.
A few studies have investigated the effect of rosemary oil on hair growth and hair loss. A 2015 study (Source) compared the effect of rosemary oil with Minoxidil 2%, a commonly used treatment for hair loss. (In Denmark, we may be more familiar with the brand Regaine, which also contains Minoxidil).
The results showed that rosemary oil was just as effective as Minoxidil in improving hair growth, but it caused fewer side effects (such as itchy scalp, eczema, headaches, etc.) compared to Minoxidil.
HOW DOES ROSEMARY WATER HELP HAIR?
Rosemary water can be beneficial for hair in several ways.
1/ STIMULATES HAIR GROWTH
Rosemary water has stimulating properties that can help improve blood circulation in the scalp, which can increase hair growth and thickness.
2/ FIGHTS DANDRUFF AND DRY SCALP
Rosemary water also has antibacterial properties that can help fight dandruff and other scalp problems.
3/ REMOVES PRODUCT REMAINS
Rosemary water also acts as a mild astringent that can help remove excess oils and product residue from the scalp and hair.
4/ ADDS SHINE
Rosemary water can also add a slight shine to the hair as it helps to seal the hair strands and prevent moisture loss.
THE BEST HAIR CARE PRODUCTS WITH ROSEMARY
Based on our best sellerBalancing shampoo barandHydrating shampoo barwe had no doubt that we should continue working on a hair and scalp series.
We had a number of requirements the products had to meet, including stimulating hair growth in a natural way, adding a lot of moisture and shine as well as soothing and balancing an irritated scalp.
It was a natural choice that rosemary should be included among several active ingredients, and the series therefore contains both organic essential rosemary oil and organic rosemary water. So far, in addition to the shampoo bar and conditioner bar, you can find:
