Garlic Oil
Garlic Oil is a sunflower oil macerate obtained by controlled, multi-stage temperature maceration of dried garlic bulb (Allium sativum) over two weeks, used in West African haircare traditions to stimulate the scalp and strengthen hair. The garlic bulb is sourced already dried, which gives the macerate better stability than a fresh-bulb infusion.
