🌿 What It Does
This modern, oil-light serum pairs glossy Argan with adaptogenic Ashwagandha to enhance natural shine and tame flyaways without heaviness. Squalane adds slip and a weightless feel, while vitamin E supports antioxidant protection.
🧴 Ingredients (30 ml / 1 fl oz)
- Argan oil — 14–16 ml (shine + softness)
- Squalane (olive or sugarcane) — 10–12 ml (lightweight slip)
- Jojoba oil — 2–4 ml (balancing, reduces greasiness)
- Ashwagandha (oil-soluble extract) — 0.6–0.9 ml (≈ 2–3%)
- Vitamin E (mixed tocopherols) — 0.3 ml (≈ 1%)
- Optional aroma (very low): 1–3 drops lavender or rosemary in jojoba

🔥 How to Prepare
- Sanitize a 30 ml pump or dropper bottle; let fully dry.
- Using a small funnel, add argan, squalane, and jojoba to the bottle.
- Whisk in ashwagandha extract until fully dispersed.
- Add vitamin E and optional aroma (keep very low). Cap and roll gently to blend.
- Let rest 12 hours so micro-bubbles settle before first use.
🌸 How to Use
- On damp hair: after wash, work 2–4 drops through mid-lengths to ends; style as usual.
- On dry hair: smooth 1–2 drops over frizz or to add a glossy finish.
- Fine hair: start with 1 drop. Coarse or curly hair: 3–5 drops as needed.
🧭 How You Can Use This Recipe
- For Personal Use: A clean, silicone-free shine booster you can tweak for your hair type.
- For R&D / Formulation: Adjust the argan:squalane ratio for weight; test different ashwagandha levels (1–3%) and slip modifiers (caprylic/capric triglycerides).
- For Small Business: Position as “Shine Serum — Argan + Ashwagandha.” Offer 30 ml glass pumps with minimal, gender-neutral labels.
- For Gifting: Pair the serum with a wide-tooth comb and a “gloss routine” card.
🪶 Storage & Shelf Life
Store capped, away from heat and sunlight. Best within 8–10 months. Use a pump or dropper to avoid contamination.
💡 Pro Tips
- Extra-light feel for fine hair: increase squalane, decrease argan slightly.
- Frizz-prone ends: warm a drop in palms and scrunch into the last 5–7 cm of hair.
- Heat styling: apply a tiny amount before blow-drying for slip, then another drop after for polish.
🌿 Why This Works
Argan delivers a natural gloss and softness, Ashwagandha brings a botanically powered care story, and Squalane creates a feather-light finish—together giving shine without weight or silicone build-up.
⚠️ Note
- External use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Patch-test before first use.
- Very fine hair can be easily weighed down—start with 1 drop and build.
