If you’re like us and appreciate haircare brands that feel thoughtful down to the last drop, you’ll want to try Oneka Elements. Based in Frelighsburg, Quebec, this Canadian company crafts natural hair and body care from organic plants grown on its family farm, blending sustainability with simple, effective formulations that are gentle enough for sensitive skin and scalp while still delivering visible benefits. Like its Unscented Hair Oil.
Plant-powered, this hair and scalp elixir proves great hair days don’t require a lot of bells and whistles. Rather, what makes this product’s formula so special is its minimalist yet potent blend of botanical goodness that nurtures every single strand (and our scalp) without a hint of irritation.
That’s because the fragrance-free oil’s base is sunflower seed oil, rich in essential fatty acids that help moisturize and strengthen our hair from root to tip. Next is hemp seed oil, a lightweight, nutrient-dense oil replete with omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids to seal in hydration, boost shine and support a balanced scalp. Horsetail extract adds silica and minerals that work to fortify hair and enhance texture, while rosemary extract provides natural antioxidants that can help soothe and invigorate our scalp. Sea buckthorn oil is also a standout, packed with vitamins and omegas that promote softness and resilience. Finally, tocopherol (a.k.a: vitamin E) helps protect against environmental stressors and adds extra nourishment.
Maybe the best part of all: this is one oil that doesn’t weigh down our thin and fine hair. And it’s easy to use—all we have to do to is massage a dime-size amount onto the ends of our hair, working upwards to our scalp for a pre-shampoo treatment, or we can smooth a few drops onto damp hair before styling to tame frizz and add shine. Either way, our hair (and our reflection in the mirror) is thanking us.
