Happy International Essential Oils Day! - Give Me Cosmetics

Happy International Essential Oils Day!

International Essential Oils Day is here to educate us on the benefits of essential oils.


Extracted from flowers, leaves, bark, fruits, and roots, essential oils are often used in aromatherapy because of their healing attributes, but their properties can also be used to benefit us in other ways, especially in haircare.


Let's delve deeper into the meaning of the day, and why essential oils are a key component of many of our Give Me Cosmetics products.

 

What is International Essential Oils Day?

 

Celebrated annually on July 11th, International Essential Oils Day exists to highlight the benefits of essential oils.

 

The use of essential oils goes waaaay back, (essentially since humans have existed,) and they were initially used for holistic healing purposes when people found that certain plants could be applied topically or made into teas to promote health and cure disease.

 

In modern medicine, we may have moved away from these methods, but that doesn’t mean essential oils don’t have other purposes - especially when it comes to our hair.

 

Each essential oil has its own properties and benefits, and that’s why a lot of them feature in our Give Me Cosmetics haircare.

 

Give Me Products Using Essential Oils

 

The essential oils in our haircare ranges help your hair in so many ways, including:

 

  • Moisturising
  • Nourishing
  • Combatting frizziness
  • Promoting hair growth

In a separate blog, we’ve raved about the benefits of Castor Oil for curly hair, and we’re going to continue to rave about it!


As a key ingredient in our Four Curls Haircare Range, castor oil helps to prevent hair loss, cares for dry hair, moisturises, and promotes hair growth, making it perfect for curly hair and other hair types.


This range is also infused with Coconut Oil which works to moisturise and repair damaged hair, and Jojoba Oil, rich in Vitamins A, D, and E, and great for soothing an irritated scalp and improving hair texture and shine.
