Macerate 12 is an oil preparation in which basil, gentian and nettle are soaked in apricot kernel oil and walnut, to strengthen hair roots in the most natural way.
This preparation will supply us with polyunsaturated fatty acids, omega 3-6-9, ellagic acid, folic acid, iodine and vitamin E.
What science says
Nettle - vitamins and minerals are responsible for its medicinal nature (1), and silicon is particularly important here because it strengthens the hair roots. It is also a good source of iron. (2)
Basil - destroys fungi and bacteria that are always found in our scalp no matter how many times we wash our hair. It is rich in vitamin C, calcium and phosphorus. (3)
Miloduh - contains monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, sesquiterpenols, phenol-methyl ethers and thus improves the quality of skin and hair. (4)
Walnut - has been used for hair beauty since ancient times due to its ellagic acid, a very important ingredient that has a distinct anti-aging effect, but also has significant antiseptic properties. (5,6)
Apricot kernel - we use it as a good source of anti-inflammatory polyunsaturated fatty acids. (7,8)
When we say that our "head or hair itches", we are often talking about fungi and bacteria living in our scalp. Omegas from walnut and apricot oils hydrate our hair and strengthen the hair roots . Our cold-pressed walnut and apricot oils contribute to better circulation in the scalp area and thus help in the fight against dandruff.

Macerated
Plants and their unique properties can help us with various ailments. It is up to us to use this medicinal plant in the best possible way.
We can pour hot water over it or boil it in it to get the so-called decoction, infusion or simply tea, and we can soak the same herbs in alcohol and get the so-called tinctures. The third way of extracting the active medicinal principles of the "soul" of the plant itself is the production of oil macerates.
