Green Tea + Rosemary + Calendula Infused Argan / Avocado Oil is an ORY® Build-Your-Own infused oil: dried Green Tea, Rosemary and Calendula steeped in the customer’s choice of Argan Oil or Avocado Oil, then strained and protected with vitamin E and rosemary antioxidant. It is a scalp-and-skin repair trio — rosemary’s clinical hair support, green tea’s antioxidant defense, and calendula’s soothing — in argan (lighter, hair-hero) or avocado (richer, deep-conditioning). Each botanical brings peer-reviewed support — Green Tea: green tea polyphenols reduced UV-induced sunburn and DNA damage in human skin, topical EGCG improved acne in a human trial, and EGCG prolonged the growth phase of cultured human hair follicles; Rosemary: rosemary oil was comparable to 2% minoxidil for androgenetic hair loss in a six-month randomized trial, rosemary leaf extract promoted hair growth in an animal model, and rosemary extract protected human skin from UV damage; Calendula: calendula extract accelerated wound healing in preclinical models, reduced radiation dermatitis in a phase III randomized trial, and is supported by a systematic review of wound-healing studies. The rosemary trio for thinning, dry, or damaged hair with a nourishing carrier. Because it is an anhydrous oil, it needs no preservative and can be used neat, blended into creams and balms, massaged into the scalp, folded into cosmetics, or added to handmade soap as a superfat or recipe oil, depending on the carrier.
What is Green Tea + Rosemary + Calendula Infused Argan / Avocado Oil made of?
Green Tea + Rosemary + Calendula Infused Argan / Avocado Oil is compounded from dried botanicals and cold-pressed or plant-derived carriers. Components and what each contributes:
Carrier selection: customers choose one carrier — Argan Oil for mature, dry, and normal skin (low comedogenicity); Avocado Oil for very dry, mature, and sun-damaged skin (comedogenic ~2–3).
- Green Tea (Camellia sinensis leaves): catechins (EGCG — mainly water-soluble, partly captured), caffeine, chlorophyll, vitamin E, and lipophilic aroma compounds. Evidence — green tea polyphenols reduced UV-induced sunburn and DNA damage in human skin, topical EGCG improved acne in a human trial, and EGCG prolonged the growth phase of cultured human hair follicles.
- Rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus (formerly Rosmarinus officinalis) leaves): carnosic acid and carnosol (oil-soluble diterpene antioxidants), rosmarinic acid (partly), ursolic acid, and aromatic terpenes (1,8-cineole, camphor, α-pinene). Evidence — rosemary oil was comparable to 2% minoxidil for androgenetic hair loss in a six-month randomized trial, rosemary leaf extract promoted hair growth in an animal model, and rosemary extract protected human skin from UV damage.
- Calendula (Calendula officinalis petals): faradiol triterpene esters, carotenoids (lutein, beta-carotene), phytosterols — highly oil-soluble. Evidence — calendula extract accelerated wound healing in preclinical models, reduced radiation dermatitis in a phase III randomized trial, and is supported by a systematic review of wound-healing studies.
- Argan Oil: light-to-medium, nourishing, vitamin-E-rich; best for mature, dry, and normal skin (low comedogenicity); hair — the hero anti-frizz, shine hair oil for all textures; soap — conditioning at 5–10% of oils or superfat; shelf life 12–18 months.
- Avocado Oil: rich, deeply penetrating, sterol- and vitamin-rich; best for very dry, mature, and sun-damaged skin (comedogenic ~2–3); hair — deep conditioning for thick, dry, and coily hair; soap — conditioning, creamy lather at 5–20% of oils; shelf life 12 months.
- Vitamin E (0.5–1%) and rosemary oleoresin (0.1%): Antioxidant protection of the infusion.

Pros and cons of Green Tea + Rosemary + Calendula Infused Argan / Avocado Oil
Pros
Cons
- Evidence-backed botanicals: Green Tea, Rosemary and Calendula each carry peer-reviewed support.
- Customer-matched carrier: Choice of carrier tailors feel and skin fit.
- Preservative-free and multi-use: Neat, in creams, on the scalp, in cosmetics, in soap.
- Natural positioning: Whole-botanical infusion in plant carriers.
- Stable: Antioxidant-protected; shelf life 12 months (shortest carrier).
- Infusion captures oil-soluble actives only: Water-soluble compounds (green tea catechins, willow salicin) are only partly transferred — pair with extracts for full activity.
- Potency varies: Botanical quality, ratio, and steeping time affect strength; ORY® standardizes its method.
- Allergy cautions: oil infusion captures only part of the water-soluble catechins — ORY® adds tea polyphenol palmitate or green tea extract where full EGCG activity is wanted; camphor-containing — the infusion is far milder than the essential oil; avoid heavy use in pregnancy or epilepsy without guidance; Asteraceae allergy — patch test.
- Carrier limits: Argan Oil: conditioning at 5–10% of oils or superfat; Avocado Oil: conditioning, creamy lather at 5–20% of oils.
- Claims discipline: Hair and healing benefits are cosmetic (“supports,” “helps calm”) — not drug claims.
