NOW Foods Rosemary Scalp & Hair Oil with Biotin, Pumpkin Seed & Argan Oils — 2 fl oz, Pre-Wash or Leave-In Hydrating Treatment

NOW Solutions Rosemary Scalp and Hair Oil is a concentrated botanical treatment designed to hydrate, soften, and refresh the scalp and hair using a blend of rosemary, peppermint, biotin, pumpkin seed, argan, and other nourishing oils.

This lightweight oil combines targeted botanicals and supportive nutrients to create a flexible scalp and hair ritual that can be used before washing, as an overnight boost, or as a finishing smoothing oil for dry ends. The formula layers pure essential oils with carrier oils, ceramides, squalane, and biotin to help detangle, add slip for easier comb-through, and impart a satin finish without heavy residue when used as directed.

How should I apply this oil for an effective pre-wash scalp treatment?

Use the oil directly on a dry scalp, working in small sections so the product reaches roots and problem areas. Massage briefly to help distribute the oils, leave for at least 15 minutes or overnight for deeper conditioning, then shampoo and condition as usual to remove excess oil and residue.

• Shake well before use to blend essential oils and carriers.
• Part hair and apply a small amount directly to the scalp and root zone.
• Massage 2–5 minutes to promote even coverage and absorption.
• Rinse with shampoo after 15 minutes or follow an overnight treatment with a morning wash.

Can this oil be used as a leave-in or finishing product without weighing hair down?

Yes—applied sparingly to mid-lengths and ends, the formula smooths frizz and adds shine without creating a greasy feel. Start with a drop or two on dry or damp hair, focusing on split or rough ends, and increase only if needed to avoid buildup.

• Warm 1–2 drops between palms for even, light distribution.
• Apply to damp hair to lock in moisture or to dry hair for smoothing.
• Avoid the scalp when using as a leave-in to prevent excess oiliness.

What beneficial ingredients are inside and what do they do in plain terms?

The blend centers on rosemary and peppermint essential oils for a refreshing scent and sensory stimulation at the scalp, while pumpkin seed, castor, and argan oils provide fatty acids and lubrication that soften strands. Biotin, ceramides, and plant-derived squalane are included to help improve manageability, support moisture retention, and reduce the appearance of roughness over repeated use.

• Pumpkin seed & argan oils: add conditioning fatty acids for soft, pliable hair.
• Castor oil: increases slip for easier wet combing and detangling.
• Biotin & ceramides: support thicker-looking, smoother-feeling hair texture.
• Rosemary & peppermint oils: provide a cooling, invigorating scalp sensation.
