What are the benefits of rosemary powder?

• Toning, rosemary is believed to promote hair growth and prevent hair loss when applied to the scalp. 
• The plant's antibacterial and anti-fungal properties combat dandruff, cleanse the skin and help create effective deodorants.
• Powdered materials like this one are great for use in self-preserving cosmetics as the drier a product formula is, the less bacteria are able to grow, reducing the need for synthetic preservatives.

Unique stories

A relative of basil and oregano, it belongs to the Labiatae family and has been cultivated since ancient times for use in medicine.
