It is also rich in a host of potent natural antioxidants – which not only protect your scalp and hair from the effects of sun radiation and pollution, but also help preserve the hair oil for longer. Containing plenty of vitamin A, D, E and K, it is nourishing, soothing and protective to your scalp and to your hair.
