Did you mean Rosemary Extract?

Glossary Rosemary Extract

Rosemary extract is derived from the leaves of the rosemary plant (Rosmarinus officinalis) and is often used in hair care products for its potential benefits in promoting hair growth and preventing hair loss. It is believed to improve circulation to the scalp, stimulate hair follicles, and possess antioxidant properties that may protect hair from damage. Key distinguishing characteristics include its natural origin and the presence of compounds like rosmarinic acid and ursolic acid, which are thought to contribute to its efficacy in supporting hair health. Its relevance in hair biology lies in its ability to potentially counteract androgenetic alopecia and other forms of hair thinning.
