Product Review

Also known as Burdock Root oil or simply bur oil, burdock oil is a product that is created by combining the root of the burdock plant with some type of plant based oil, such as olive oil. The process is usually accomplished by using a cold extraction process that allows the nutrients of the root to disperse throughout the oil.
Along with use of the root, it is also possible to produce what is known as burdock seed oil by extracting the essential fatty acids from the seeds of the plant. In all its forms, burdock oil is commonly used as a product to deal with skin irritations, notably on the scalp.
The nutrient content of the production can help ease irritation on a dry scalp and calm the itching that often occurs. In addition to calming the scalp itching and discomfort, the oil is also helpful in moisturizing the dry patches. The resulting action is that the scalp looses its redness as the skin is hydrated.
