-Hair conditioner: Traditionally used as a hair treatment for its restorative and brightening power.
-Healing: Promotes and helps in the recovery of wounds and scrapes.
-Anti-Aging: Protects the skin from free radical damage thanks to its antioxidant action.
-Anti-microbial: Stops the proliferation of microbes. It is especially notable for its anti-fungal properties.
