Antibacterial & antifungal: Effective against dandruff-causing Malassezia and scalp bacterial infections
Circulation stimulant: Increases blood flow to the scalp, delivering nutrients to dormant follicles
Anti-inflammatory: Reduces scalp inflammation — a root cause of follicle miniaturisation in androgenetic alopecia
