A bit about the Active ingredients in this amazing potent hair tonic:
Black Rice
Also called forbidden or purple rice, black rice is a type of rice that belongs to the Oryza sativa L. species. In ancient China, history has it noted that black rice was considered so unique and nutritious that it was forbidden for all but only royalty or the affluent.
Black rice gets its signature black-purple color from a pigment called anthocyanin, known to contain potent antioxidant properties. An antioxidant is a known powerhouse that fights off or scavenges free radicals as well as provide other benefits including cardiovascular and neurological protection among others (when ingested). We know from scientific evidence that what’s great for the internal body is usually also great for the external body including the skin and hair. Please be aware that this tonic is purely for external use only and NOT for internal consumption.
Black rice is no longer forbidden, but it is cultivated in relatively small quantities, compared to other rice varieties.The whole grain black rice is also packed full of health benefits. Black rice or the forbidden rice (Chinese) is a rare and a very old variety of rice that has been growing in India for centuries. It is loaded with anti-oxidants especially anthocyanin which is great for several organ functions and also helps brain activity. Its great for skin and hair due to its Vitamin E content.
Benefits of Black Rice
Rich in Antioxidants
The deep black or the purple hue of the black rice is a marker of its high antioxidant properties. It has a similarity with blackberries and blueberries, that appear deeper in colour owing to their high content of anti-oxidants. The outermost layer of the grain (the bran and the hull), contains immense amounts of the antioxidant-anthocyanin. In fact the amount of anthocyanin contained in black rice is higher than any other grain, including brown rice, red rice, red quinoa, or other colored whole grain varieties.
Anthocyanin can help in restricting free radical activities thereby reducing inflammation .
White rice and other refined grains are stripped of their high nutrient content and beneficial properties in the milling process. Majority of the nutrients of rice are present in the outer layer, the hull and the bran, which are only retained in whole grains. Since black rice doesn't undergo any refining or processing, it is able to retain its antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Black rice also contains a very important antioxidant- Vitamin E, which is popularly known to be useful in maintaining hair, skin, and other health aspects.
Other ingredients include;
Biotin or Vitamin B, formerly known as vitamin H or coenzyme R, is often raved about as a cure-all for brittle nails and thinning hair. Due to the vitamin’s ability to stimulate new cells, boosting hair and nail growth, it remains a regularly buzzed-about beauty solution today. According to experts, Biotin is needed to enable the body to metabolize the protein known as keratin and fatty acids, which are essential elements in hair growth. A recent Harvard study established biotin as one of the essential nutrients for preserving hair strength, texture and appearance.
Biotin is a crucial component of skin cells.
Healthy skin cells play a major role in the health of hair follicles among other roles. Weak or unhealthy hair follicles result in the inability to retain hair, which leads to hair loss. Over time, follicles get weaker and hair loss increases. Additionally, the follicles’ ability to regrow and retain new hair diminishes and this can result to some form of baldness or related issues.
Both biotin and other vitamins have been shown to have a tremendous positive effect on hair loss prevention and regrowth efforts. This is why we have incorporated other powerful B vitamins and antioxidants into this Rice water- Biotin complex and the result is a powerful combination that can really help with hair loss and thinning. Other vitamins are known to boost the power of Biotin, but the B vitamins seem to have the greatest effects.
*NOTE: May not be suitable for those with protein sensitive hair. Avoid use if allergic to any of the ingredients listed.
Not Recommended for Daily usage:
Daily usage is not recommended due to the potency of black rice water in imparting proteins to the hair. Whilst protein is essential for growth and fortifies the hair, overloading the hair with protein can cause hair to become brittle. It is very crucial to maintain a good balance between moisture and protein in the hair at all times to avoid hair strands becoming weak or overly brittle.
