Ginger & Ginseng Root Nourishing Scalp Essence — Daily Hair Oil with Vitamin E
A lightweight scalp essence formulated with tocopherol (vitamin E), Panax ginseng root extract and ginger root oil, in a fast-absorbing jojoba and mineral oil base. Worked into the scalp daily, it supports the look of fuller, thicker hair and leaves the lengths softer and shinier. Available on its own, or in one of nine sets that pair it with a botanical hair spray and a micro-needle roller.
Please note: every set includes a micro-needle roller (dermaroller). This is a skin-penetrating device — not a comb, and not a scalp massager. It is not meant to be used together with the essence or the spray. Please read the safety information further down this page before ordering a set. If you would rather not receive one, choose the Essence liquid option and you will get the essence on its own.

What's in the essence
The full formula, listed in order of concentration — nothing held back:
- Mineral Oil — a highly refined, odourless base oil that carries the actives and helps seal moisture into the hair
- Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil — a plant wax ester closely related to the scalp's own sebum; light and quick to absorb
- Tocopherol (Vitamin E) — an antioxidant that conditions the hair and keeps the oil blend stable
- Panax Ginseng Root Extract — a traditional East Asian hair botanical
- Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) Root Oil — gives the essence its warm, invigorating character on the scalp

The micro-needle roller included in the sets
Every set also ships with a handheld micro-needle roller — a rolling head fitted with fine needles that pierce the surface of the skin. It is a personal skincare device rather than a hair accessory, and it sits in a different regulatory category from everything else in this store: it has not been cleared by the FDA, and we make no claim that it treats hair loss, thinning, or any other condition.
We deliberately do not provide usage instructions for it. If you choose to use it, follow the manufacturer's instructions supplied in the box, and read the safety points below first. If you would prefer not to receive one at all, order the Essence liquid option.
How to use
The essence: Apply an appropriate amount evenly through the hair and scalp, and massage gently with your fingertips until fully absorbed. Use daily; no rinsing needed. Give it at least three months before judging results — hair grows roughly a centimetre a month.
The spray: Shake well, hold 15–20cm from dry or towel-dried hair, mist evenly over the scalp and lengths, then massage in. Do not rinse. Style as usual.
For external use only, on intact skin. Patch test before first use if you have a sensitive scalp.
Safety information — please read before using the micro-needle roller
- Do not use the roller together with the essence or the spray. Micro-needling devices are not approved for delivering cosmetic products into the skin, and doing so can drive ingredients past the skin barrier that were only ever formulated to sit on top of it. Use the essence and spray on intact skin only, on a separate occasion from any rolling.
- For one person only. Never share the roller — doing so can transmit infection.
- Clean the roller thoroughly before and after every use, and replace it as directed by the manufacturer.
- Never use it on broken or irritated skin, sunburn, active acne, eczema, psoriasis, moles, or any area with an infection.
- Stop immediately if you experience bleeding, lasting redness, swelling or pain.
- Do not use if you take blood-thinning medication, have a bleeding or clotting disorder, a history of keloid scarring, diabetes affecting wound healing, or are pregnant — unless a doctor has told you it is safe.
- Not for use by anyone under 18.
- If you are unsure whether micro-needling is right for you, speak to a dermatologist before using it.
What arrives in the box
This product is made by a third-party manufacturer and ships in their packaging, which carries their own branding and marketing text — including wording about hair growth. We don't repeat or endorse those claims. The description above is what we stand behind: this is a cosmetic product for the hair and scalp, and we make no claim that it treats hair loss or any other condition. We would rather you knew that before you ordered than found it out when the parcel arrived.
These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. The essence and the sprays are cosmetic products and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition, including hair loss. The micro-needle roller included in the sets is not an FDA-cleared medical device and is supplied as a personal care accessory. Individual results vary.
✓ 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee. Try it for a full month. If it's not for you, we refund you in full — and you don't need to send the bottle back.
