FENUGREEK / LE FENUGREC
Few people know about Fenugreek and its benefits.
Fenugreek is a legume of the Fabaceae family. It is a small green, leafy herb originally from western Asia, southern Europe, and the Mediterranean.
Fenugreek seeds are a rich source of iron and protein two essential nutrients for hair growth.
They also contain a unique composition of plant compounds, including flavonoids and saponins. These compounds are presumed to induce hair growth due to their anti-inflammatory and antifungal effects.

CASTOR OIL / L'HUILE DE RICIN
Extracted from castor seeds and highly rich in antioxidants, castor oil is currently one of the most widely used beauty ingredients due to its beneficial effects on skin and hair. These seeds, which are known as castor beans, contain a toxic enzyme called ricin.
Castor oil contains Ricinoleic acid that helps balance scalp pH levels, and also replenishes the scalp’s natural oils. It reverses any damage caused by harsh hair products and stimulates the scalp to help in hair growth.
