Burdock Oil with Red Pepper, 100 ml

What This Oil Does

Green Pharmacy Burdock Oil with Red Pepper is a hair oil for the scalp and lengths, chosen when hair looks dull, feels brittle, or seems weaker than usual. Burdock oil has a long tradition in hair masks across Eastern Europe, where it is valued as a nourishing base that softens the scalp and helps dry, tired strands look smoother and shinier.

Key Ingredients

• Burdock oil — a nourishing base with a long tradition in Eastern European hair care; softens the scalp and helps strands look smoother and shinier.
• Red pepper resin — creates a noticeable warming effect on the scalp, encouraging microcirculation near the hair roots; often chosen when hair feels less dense or sheds more during brushing and washing.
• SC-CO2 burdock extract — obtained using carbon dioxide under pressure, a gentle method that avoids heavy solvent residue and preserves more of the plant's lipid-soluble components.
• Sunflower oil — acts as the carrier, helping the formula spread evenly and rinse out more easily than thicker occlusive oils.

When People Choose It

This burdock and pepper hair treatment suits people who like pre-shampoo oiling 1–2 times a week. It fits well into a hair care ritual in situations such as:

• After seasonal stress on the hair
• Frequent heat styling or colouring
• When the scalp feels sluggish and the lengths have lost shine

Applied before washing, it can help the hair look glossier and split ends appear less pronounced, without weighing the hair down after cleansing.

Cautions

• Red pepper can feel quite active on the skin — start cautiously if you have a sensitive scalp.
• Avoid using on irritated or damaged skin.
• Keep away from the eyes.
• If the warming effect feels too intense, wash it off sooner.
• When in doubt, patch-test first.
