Q1: Which essential oil is best for hair?

Rosemary essential oil is one of the main options to explore for hair and scalp routines. Nykaa's current selection includes rosemary oils from several brands, including Brillare, Nat Habit, Deve Herbes and Mountainor.

Q2: Can essential oils be applied directly to the scalp?

Not necessarily. Many pure essential oils need to be diluted before scalp application. Always check the individual product instructions. Essential oils are concentrated, so using more than recommended is not a shortcut to better results.

Q3: Which essential oil is good for scalp care?

Rosemary, peppermint and tea tree are the main options to explore for scalp-focused routines. Choose based on the product's intended use and follow its application instructions. A ready-to-use scalp or hair oil may be preferable if you do not want to dilute a pure essential oil yourself.

Q4: Which essential oil is good for skin?

Tea tree and frankincense are among the essential oils available for skin-focused routines. Pure essential oils can be strong on skin, so check the label, dilute when required and avoid applying them to irritated or broken skin.

Q5: Is rosemary oil the same as rosemary essential oil?

No. Rosemary essential oil is a concentrated oil, while rosemary hair oils can contain rosemary along with carrier oils and other ingredients.

Q6: Can essential oils be used every day?

Daily use depends on the specific oil, product and method of application. Follow the recommended frequency and dilution instructions rather than assuming every essential oil is suitable for daily use.

Q7: Which essential oil is good for aromatherapy?

Lavender and eucalyptus are among the most popular choices for aromatic routines. Nykaa's range includes pure essential oils as well as fragrance formats. Consult product directions for intended use.

Q8: What is the difference between essential oil and body oil?

Essential oils are concentrated plant oils, while body oils are formulated for direct body-care use. Body oils may contain carrier oils, moisturising ingredients and fragrance. Pure essential oils are generally used in much smaller quantities and may require dilution.
