Aloe Vera: The Soothing Moisturizer

Aloe vera stands as a pillar of natural care in the realm of beauty and healing, used for millennia for its skin and hair benefits. The clear gel harvested from the plant’s leaves is rich in vitamins A (beta-carotene), C, and E, which are antioxidants known for neutralizing free radicals. Beyond these, it contains vitamin B12 and folic acid, essential components in preventing hair fall. Aloe vera’s enzymes can repair dead skin cells on the scalp, promoting a healthier hair environment. Its antiviral and antibacterial properties safeguard the scalp from potential infections.

Clinical evidence, like the findings published in the “Journal of Dermatological Treatment,” points out its efficacy in treating seborrheic dermatitis or dandruff, thanks to its anti-inflammatory prowess. Used in its purest gel form or as part of our shampoos and conditioners, aloe vera’s benefits are manifold—soothing an itchy scalp, deeply moisturizing hair strands, and even promising the promotion of hair growth by improving blood circulation to the scalp.

​Our aloe vera is responsibly sourced from organic farms that practice sustainable agriculture, ensuring minimal water usage and land impact. By maintaining organic cultivation methods, our suppliers contribute to healthy soil and ecosystems, keeping in tune with our ecological values.

Coconut Oil: Deep Conditioning from the Tropics

Renowned for its deep moisturizing abilities, coconut oil is a staple in hair care. The high fatty acid content, including lauric acid, gives it a unique ability to penetrate the hair shaft, reducing protein loss from both damaged and undamaged hair. Coconut oil’s affinity with hair proteins is arguably its standout feature, allowing it to fortify the hair structure at a molecular level.

​A study published in the “Journal of Cosmetic Science” showed that coconut oil outperforms other oils in preventing hair damage due to grooming and ultraviolet (UV) exposure. Regular use in hair care routines has been linked to preserving hair’s resilience and luster.

​Our coconut oil is sourced from organic farms in tropical regions where coconuts are traditionally cultivated without the use of harmful pesticides. These practices not only yield the highest-quality oil but also support local farmers and their communities, preventing the exploitation of land and labor.

Shea Butter: Nature’s Hair Emollient

Shea butter, extracted from the nuts of the shea tree, is rich in vitamins and minerals, including vitamins A and E, as well as essential fatty acids. It has emollient properties, which means it seals moisture into the hair, making it ideal for curbing dryness and frizz. Its non-greasy moisture makes it perfect for natural hair care formulations, providing softness and manageability without clogging the pores.

​Traditionally used in Africa for its moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties, shea butter’s use has spread globally due to its proven efficacy. It’s especially beneficial for protective styling, as it coats the hair strands, thereby reducing breakage and promoting growth.

​Our shea butter is ethically sourced through fair trade cooperatives, ensuring fair compensation and working conditions for the women who primarily harvest and process the shea nuts. This ethical sourcing supports community empowerment and sustains the age-old traditions and biodiversity in shea butter’s regions of origin.

Tea Tree Oil: The Scalp Clarifier

Tea tree oil is a potent essential oil known for its antifungal and antibacterial properties, making it an exceptional ingredient for scalp health. Its ability to cleanse the scalp, combat dandruff, and reduce excess oil production without stripping the hair of natural oils is invaluable. The “Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology” highlighted its role in treating seborrheic dermatitis, proving its significance in maintaining a healthy scalp environment.

​Obtained through steam distillation of the leaves of the Melaleuca alternifolia tree, our tea tree oil is harvested from plants grown on sustainable plantations that are committed to preserving natural resources. This meticulous production process ensures the highest quality oil, potent with the bioactive compounds necessary for effective scalp care.

Argan Oil: Liquid Gold for Hair

Argan oil, often referred to as ‘liquid gold,’ originates from the kernels of the argan tree native to Morocco. It is particularly rich in nourishing components such as essential fatty acids, including oleic and linoleic acid, antioxidants, and vitamin E. These ingredients contribute to its ability to hydrate hair, enhance elasticity, and restore shine to dull, lifeless locks. Furthermore, argan oil acts as a protector against styling damage and the drying effects of the sun.

​Sourced from UNESCO-protected biosphere reserves, our argan oil is cold-pressed by women’s cooperatives, safeguarding the traditional methods of oil extraction while providing an important source of income for rural communities. This sustainable approach ensures the preservation of argan forests and the ecological balance within them.

Peppermint Oil: The Invigorating Stimulant

The use of peppermint oil in hair care can be traced back to ancient times when it was valued for its medicinal properties. Its primary component, menthol, is responsible for its cooling sensation and therapeutic benefits. This essential oil is known to stimulate circulation to the scalp, which can promote hair growth and create a refreshing sensory experience.

​Research, including studies published in “Toxicological Research,” indicates that peppermint oil can significantly increase dermal thickness, follicle number, and follicle depth, all of which are indicative of its potential for promoting hair growth. In our formulations, peppermint oil is used for its invigorating scent and its potential to boost circulation, which is essential for healthy hair follicles.

​Harvested with respect for the environment, our peppermint oil comes from organically grown peppermint plants. No synthetic fertilizers or pesticides are used, resulting in an oil that’s as pure as it is potent, while also contributing to sustainable farming practices.

​These select ingredients reflect the integrity and dedication of NACO Pure Organics LLC to bringing the most effective and environmentally sound options to your personal care routine. The continued research into these natural components strengthens our mission to provide hair care that not only nurtures and revitalizes but also respects the planet we call home.
