Before you choose

Rosemary Shampoo, Rosemary Conditioner, 9-in-1 Hair Oil and Unscented Body Oil are USDA Certified Organic. Look for the certification on these individual product pages.

Certification applies to the named formulas; it does not automatically apply to every OilnGlow product or an entire bundle.

Our Unscented Body Oil contains lavender oil at a very low concentration, without a noticeable lavender scent. It is not essential-oil-free.

Sandalwood Body Oil has a naturally fragrant sandalwood scent and contains no lavender oil. Choose by your scent preference and review the complete ingredient list for any ingredients you prefer to avoid.

Each formula is designed for a different role in your routine. Cumin Seeds Conditioner includes dimethicone and amodimethicone for conditioning slip, smoother strands and easier detangling. They help reduce friction during combing and improve manageability.

Our 8-in-1 and 9-in-1 Hair Oils and Unscented Body Oil are made without silicones or mineral oil. Rosemary Conditioner contains hydrolyzed silk protein and is not vegan.

Choose by your hair’s needs and ingredient preferences, using the complete list and product-specific badges on each product page.

Open the Ingredients section on the individual product page and check the label on your bottle for the complete formula.

This A–Z directory explains ingredient roles across our hair and body care. Related forms of a botanical are grouped together, and ingredient names may appear differently on a label. Ingredients work together in a finished formula; a single ingredient does not promise a particular result.
