🧠 What Is Horsetail Extract?

Horsetail extract comes from Equisetum arvense, one of the oldest plants on Earth — dating back to prehistoric times. Rich in silica, antioxidants, and bioactive compounds, horsetail has been used in traditional herbal medicine to support skin, nail, and hair health for centuries.

In hair care, horsetail is especially prized for its ability to reinforce hair strands, stimulate the scalp, and strengthen follicles from within, helping reduce breakage and support healthy, long-term growth.

💧 Hair & Scalp Benefits of Horsetail Extract

• Strengthens Hair Shaft
  Horsetail is one of the richest natural sources of silica, a mineral that improves hair structure, elasticity, and shine while reducing breakage and split ends.
  
• Promotes Hair Growth
  Improves blood flow to the scalp and boosts collagen production — both essential for robust follicle health and new growth.
  
• Soothes Scalp Inflammation
  Its natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties help calm irritated scalps, reduce redness, and maintain a balanced scalp environment.
  
• Reduces Hair Shedding
  By strengthening roots and fortifying follicles, horsetail can minimize excessive shedding caused by weak or damaged hair.
  
• Supports Collagen Formation
  Silica enhances the body's ability to produce and maintain collagen — the structural protein that keeps hair anchored and resilient.
