Description
Burdock Oil (Arctium lappa) has a good reputation in traditional hair care, being used for an unbalanced scalp, fragile, thinning hair, or an irritated scalp, whether oily or dry. Used consistently, it contributes to balancing and soothing the scalp. On the face, it is less commonly used, but it can bring an extra soothing benefit to formulas intended for irritated skin.
Obtained by macerating the root in a lipid base, burdock oil contains polyacetylenic compounds and polyenes - these are considered primarily responsible for the antimicrobial and antifungal properties of burdock on the skin and scalp, helping to cleanse the skin, combat dandruff (caused by the Malassezia fungus), and regulate sebum secretion. It also contains phytosterols, especially beta-sitosterol and stigmasterol, with an anti-inflammatory, soothing effect on the irritated scalp and a skin barrier-strengthening action.

Hair care
This is the main area of use. Burdock Oil is recommended for an irritated scalp (oily or dry), dandruff, and for fragile hair prone to breakage. It can be applied pure to the scalp or included in hair masks and serums.
Practical recommendations
- Pre-wash scalp treatment: Apply to the scalp, massage gently, and wrap the head in a warm towel. Leave on for 20-30 minutes, then wash with a gentle shampoo.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is it also suitable for an oily scalp?
Yes. Unlike many hair oils, burdock macerate is not intended exclusively for a dry scalp. Its fortifying and soothing benefits apply to both scalp types, although lower dosages and more rigorous rinsing are recommended for an oily scalp.
How long does it need to be used for visible results?
The fortifying effects on the hair strand are cumulative; regular use is recommended, 1-2 times a week over a period of several weeks.
Can it be used on color-treated hair?
Yes, there are no known incompatibilities with color-treated hair. Burdock macerate does not affect color pigment.

Burdock oil confers a powerful hair strengthening effect. It absorbs well into the scalp and stops brittle and damaged strands from falling out. Restores vitality and shine, eliminating dullness and split ends. Leaves hair strong, thick, rich and silky. How to use: Apply warm oil to hair roots.

I consider burdock oil a hair serum. I have damaged hair as a result of using hay a lot. Repara parul uscat si fragil, parul meu parul este mai sanatos, de par as pareca as as avea un par care care care a crescut din nou, desi nu l-am tuns. Splendid!
