Green Tea + Rosemary + Chamomile Infused Squalane + Argan Oil is an ORY® Build-Your-Own infused oil: dried Green Tea, Rosemary and Chamomile steeped in a blend of Squalane and Argan Oil, then strained and protected with vitamin E and rosemary antioxidant. It blends squalane’s weightless, sebum-identical slip with argan’s vitamin-E nourishment to carry a scalp-and-skin trio: rosemary for hair support, green tea for antioxidant and sebum balance, chamomile to calm. 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; Chamomile: reviews document anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and wound-healing activity, and a chamomile cream performed comparably to low-potency hydrocortisone in atopic eczema. A refined, lightweight scalp-and-face oil for oily, thinning, or sensitive scalps and blemish-prone skin. 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 + Chamomile Infused Squalane + Argan Oil made of?
Green Tea + Rosemary + Chamomile Infused Squalane + Argan Oil is compounded from dried botanicals and cold-pressed or plant-derived carriers. Components and what each contributes:
Carrier selection: the carriers are blended so that Squalane gives weightless while Argan Oil gives light-to-medium.
- 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.
- Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla (German chamomile) flowers): alpha-bisabolol, bisabolol oxides, matricin/chamazulene, apigenin (partly oil-soluble). Evidence — reviews document anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and wound-healing activity, and a chamomile cream performed comparably to low-potency hydrocortisone in atopic eczema.
- Squalane: weightless, sebum-identical, non-comedogenic, never rancid; best for every skin type including oily, acne-prone, and sensitive; hair — fine to medium hair and scalp serums (silicone-free slip); soap — does not saponify — superfat only (1–3%); shelf life 3+ years.
- 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.
- Vitamin E (0.5–1%) and rosemary oleoresin (0.1%): Antioxidant protection of the infusion.
What skin type is best suited for Green Tea + Rosemary + Chamomile Infused Squalane + Argan Oil?
Green Tea + Rosemary + Chamomile Infused Squalane + Argan Oil suits the following ORY® skin types (carrier choice fine-tunes the fit):
- Oily: Green tea supports sebum control; the carrier keeps it non-greasy.
- Acne-prone: Green tea EGCG (partial) plus calming botanicals; antioxidant carrier.
- Mature: Antioxidant, UV-stress defense, and repair support.
- Combination: Balanced facial oil.
- Normal: Daily antioxidant oil.
- Dry: Squalane-argan is light; layer under cream for dry skin.
- Sensitive: Calendula or chamomile calms; patch test (Asteraceae).
What hair type is best suited for Green Tea + Rosemary + Chamomile Infused Squalane + Argan Oil?
Green Tea + Rosemary + Chamomile Infused Squalane + Argan Oil is used on the scalp and hair as follows:
- Mature or thinning: Rosemary matched 2% minoxidil in a randomized trial; green tea EGCG supports follicle growth phase in vitro — cosmetic “fuller-looking hair” support.
- Oily scalp: Rosemary and green tea balance sebum; light carriers.
- Dandruff-prone scalp: Rosemary antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory support.
- Sensitive scalp: Calendula/chamomile/willow soften rosemary’s stimulation; patch test.
- Dry or damaged: Carrier conditions lengths and ends.
- Curly and coily: Scalp massage plus sealing.
- Straight, wavy, color-treated: Scalp-focused use; avoid 48 hours after coloring.
What are the benefits of Green Tea + Rosemary + Chamomile Infused Squalane + Argan Oil?
The blend’s benefits combine each botanical’s evidence with the carrier’s properties:
- 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.
- Chamomile: Reviews document anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and wound-healing activity, and a chamomile cream performed comparably to low-potency hydrocortisone in atopic eczema.
- Squalane carrier: Weightless, sebum-identical, non-comedogenic, never rancid; suits every skin type including oily, acne-prone, and sensitive.
- Argan Oil carrier: Light-to-medium, nourishing, vitamin-E-rich; suits mature, dry, and normal skin (low comedogenicity).
- Antioxidant-protected: Vitamin E and rosemary oleoresin extend shelf life and protect the botanicals.
- Preservative-free: Anhydrous; no water, no preservative needed.

Pros and cons of Green Tea + Rosemary + Chamomile Infused Squalane + Argan Oil
Pros
Cons
- Evidence-backed botanicals: Green Tea, Rosemary and Chamomile each carry peer-reviewed support.
- Customer-matched carrier: Blended carriers balance feel and nourishment.
- 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 12–18 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; daisy-family (Asteraceae) allergy — patch test.
- Carrier limits: Squalane: does not saponify — superfat only (1–3%); Argan Oil: conditioning at 5–10% of oils or superfat.
- Claims discipline: Hair and healing benefits are cosmetic (“supports,” “helps calm”) — not drug claims.
