Castor oil is in here at a real concentration. Rosemary leaf oil and panax ginseng root extract are the two actives most guys look for in a scalp oil, and both are named ingredients, not hidden behind a \"proprietary blend.\" Vitamins A, C and E are in their stabilized ester forms, retinyl palmitate, ascorbyl palmitate and tocopheryl acetate, rather than the raw versions that oxidize fast and lose potency on a shelf. Everything is delivered through a liposomal, phospholipid based system, a more expensive way to help those actives get where they are going instead of evaporating off the surface.
