I actually think this product is exactly what I needed in my life – as someone with delicate hair, it seemed to add strength and shine. It’s smell is intense – but there’s something very calming about it. This brand is also showing a huge commitment to sustainably sourcing their materials and packaging – super impressive!

I truly felt like I had just had a ‘treatment’ at my favourite hair salon after using this oil on my head/hair! My hair was left really shiny and smooth for a few washes after. I’m really looking forward to seeing what the longer term results of using this product will be! It’s great to see the minimisation of waste in the production of this product – small batches, no sticky labels on the bottles, an appropriate sized postage parcel and recyclable/compostable packaging. I particularly loved reading that Muse by Gaia use the sun to heat their herbal infusions, rather than heating via electricity for days.
