Balancing Frankincense and Myrrh Shampoo and Conditioner

This gentle shampoo and conditioner cleanses and nourishes your hair without stripping it of its natural oils. The frankincense and myrrh essential oils give it a woodsy, slightly smoky scent that's both invigorating and calming.

Frankincense and myrrh have been used for centuries in religious ceremonies and medicinal practices. Frankincense is known for its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, while myrrh is known for its ability to promote healing and reduce pain. This shampoo and conditioner combines the benefits of these two essential oils to create a luxurious and effective hair care treatment.
