As skincare lovers, we can often find ourselves putting our all into making sure we are treating, repairing and caring for our skin each and every day. But just as we treat our facial skin, our body, scalp and hair follicles too require a little attention to keep them looking and feeling healthy – and in turn giving us that confidence boost to feel our very best! And for those that aren’t quite sure where to even begin when it comes to caring for these areas, we’re here to reassure you that it really can be as simple an extra step in your routine.

Skin Loving (mari)Gold!
Despite its resilience, our skin and hair are often up against a lot on a day to day basis. From frequently washing our skin and drying and styling our hair – it’s fair to say it’s always being challenged in some way. And even when we strip things back to back to basics, they are still up against the ever changing seasonal stressors. For instance, we often hear about the way the sun can damage the skin causing sun spots, sun burns and rashes – but did you know the sun can also bleach the pigment in our hair? Which is why you might notice it tends to lighten when you’ve been sat on the beach for a while. And just like the impact it has on our skin, it can result in dull, lifeless hair. Yet in colder months when we find ourselves turning our indoor heating up, we can notice our skin becoming more dry and our hair more brittle. Which is why a little extra care in the form of a deeply nourishing and reparative oil can give us the strength to fight it all and still look and feel healthy. Making the new Vemel Marigold Nectar Hair and Body Oil the product that just keeps giving. This product is filled with carefully selected ingredients to make all the difference – but Marigold alone is bursting with a plethora of skin and hair benefits. Derived from the Marigold flower, the benefits of this oil range from calming irritation on the scalp, anti-frizz properties, moisturising for dry hair and encouraging hair growth/healthy follicles on the scalp and skin. In fact, in the past Marigold has been used as a remedy for rashes, particularly for nappy rashes as it is gentle enough to soothe yet powerful enough to repair and moisturise a baby’s skin – showing it can work wonderfully for even very sensitive skin. Alongside Marigold, this product is made up of a blend of organic oils like Cranberry, Apricot, Jojoba and Grapeseed paired with organic extracts from Amaranth and Seabuckthorn to Pomegranate, to create a powerhouse of nutrient dense, upcycled and vitamin filled ingredients. Which gives it all the goodness it needs to moisturise and calm irritated skin, working to retain this moisture to allow for supple skin with restored elasticity. All this is done by targeting the very core of most skin related issues, the strength of the skin barrier. Which is why particular care was taken to include Cranberry Seed Oil in this specific product – its high fatty acid and antioxidant content means it is ripe with moisturising and softening properties to soothe and nourish the skin and scalp.

A Hair and Body Oil With A Purpose
And as with each and every Vemel product, you can apply with the confidence that it is vegan, organic, fragrance and essential oil free and these natural derivatives mean it is suitable for even the most sensitive and reactive skin. Which is why this product was made in collaboration with leading breast cancer charity, Future Dreams. Future Dreams is a charity dedicated to raising funds for Support, Awareness and Research for those touched by Breast Cancer. And as the conception of Vemel and all it stands for is rooted in the creation of pure, natural and transparent products for any and every skin type, our core values fell perfectly into alignment, forming a partnership we hope can make a difference, with a product that does make a difference. When speaking on the meaning behind this exciting launch, our founder Agi explained that her daughter, with her beautifully wild curly hair, was the very inspiration behind this product, “Given our family health struggles I’m always weary of putting products that are not natural on my kids since I want to give them a start to a long, healthy and happy life – therefore she was my muse for this product. Like me, she also has a very sensitive skin and often gets itchy scalp, therefore this oil also calms irritated scalp and strengthens hair follicles (encourages hair growth) which falls in well with the Future Dreams charity”.

How To Use
The Marigold Nectar Hair and Body Oil can be used according to your current hair and skin needs. Use as a body oil by simply massaging into damp skin to enhance hydration properties. Alternatively, use as a pre-wash scalp treatment by applying directly onto your scalp (or section off hair and spend a few minutes massaging half a tsp of oil into each section). Leave in for 20-60 minutes to allow the product to get to work, then simply rinse out and follow up with your usual shampoo. Or for a more intense scalp treatment, leave in overnight before washing away, doing so up to 3 times per week. Lastly, show your hair some love by applying 1-4 drops of oil to the ends of either dry or damp hair to reduce frizz and yet increase natural shine.

So, when you aren’t quite sure where to begin, just know that with a product that is brimming with goodness in every ingredient it contains, sometimes just the one product is enough.
