INTRODUCTION:
Arugula Oil is a nutrient-rich herbal oil extracted from the seeds of the arugula plant, botanically known as Eruca sativa. Arugula, also called rocket or garden rocket, belongs to the Brassicaceae (mustard) family and has been traditionally valued in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and South Asian herbal practices.The oil is typically obtained through cold-press extraction of arugula seeds, preserving its bioactive compounds such as essential fatty acids, antioxidants, flavonoids, and sulfur-containing phytochemicals. These constituents contribute to its therapeutic, cosmetic, and nutritional applications.

HEALTH BENEFITS:
Promotes Hair Growth
Arugula Oil helps stimulate hair follicles by improving microcirculation in the scalp. Its nutrient content supports stronger, thicker hair growth over time.
Reduces Hair Fall
The strengthening effect on hair roots helps minimize breakage and excessive shedding, especially when used consistently as a scalp massage oil.
Improves Scalp Health
Its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties may help reduce scalp irritation, dryness, and mild dandruff conditions.
Enhances Hair Thickness and Shine
Rich fatty acids nourish the hair shaft, improving texture, softness, and natural shine.
Supports Beard Growth
Commonly used in men’s grooming products to promote fuller and healthier beard growth.
Nourishes Dry Skin
When applied topically, it helps moisturize dry and rough skin due to its emollient properties.
Antioxidant Protection
The presence of natural antioxidants helps protect skin and hair from oxidative stress and environmental damage.
Strengthens Hair Structure
Sulfur compounds present in arugula seeds contribute to keratin support, which enhances overall hair resilience.
