Rosemary + Green Tea Infused Squalane / Caprylic-Capric Triglyceride is an ORY® Build-Your-Own infused oil: dried Rosemary and Green Tea steeped in the customer’s choice of Squalane or Caprylic-Capric Triglyceride, then strained and protected with vitamin E and rosemary antioxidant. It is the streamlined scalp-and-skin duo — rosemary’s randomized-trial hair support and green tea’s antioxidant, sebum-balancing evidence — in the customer’s choice of squalane (sebum-identical, silicone-free slip) or CCT (light, neutral, economical). Each botanical brings peer-reviewed support — 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; 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. The lightest rosemary scalp serum ORY® makes. 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 Rosemary + Green Tea Infused Squalane / Caprylic-Capric Triglyceride made of?
Rosemary + Green Tea Infused Squalane / Caprylic-Capric Triglyceride is compounded from dried botanicals and cold-pressed or plant-derived carriers. Components and what each contributes:
Carrier selection: customers choose one carrier — Squalane for every skin type including oily, acne-prone, and sensitive; Caprylic-Capric Triglyceride for every skin type; the neutral Build-Your-Own base.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Caprylic-Capric Triglyceride: light, odorless, silky, oxidation-resistant; best for every skin type; the neutral Build-Your-Own base; hair — light hair oils and scalp serums; soap — saponifies to a soft, low-lather bar — small superfat only (2–5%); shelf life 2+ years.
- Vitamin E (0.5–1%) and rosemary oleoresin (0.1%): Antioxidant protection of the infusion.
What skin type is best suited for Rosemary + Green Tea Infused Squalane / Caprylic-Capric Triglyceride?
Rosemary + Green Tea Infused Squalane / Caprylic-Capric Triglyceride 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: Layer under cream; choose squalane for dry skin.
- Sensitive: Calendula or chamomile calms; patch test (Asteraceae).
What hair type is best suited for Rosemary + Green Tea Infused Squalane / Caprylic-Capric Triglyceride?
Rosemary + Green Tea Infused Squalane / Caprylic-Capric Triglyceride 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 Rosemary + Green Tea Infused Squalane / Caprylic-Capric Triglyceride?
The blend’s benefits combine each botanical’s evidence with the carrier’s properties:
- 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.
- 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.
- Squalane carrier: Weightless, sebum-identical, non-comedogenic, never rancid; suits every skin type including oily, acne-prone, and sensitive.
- Caprylic-Capric Triglyceride carrier: Light, odorless, silky, oxidation-resistant; suits every skin type; the neutral Build-Your-Own base.

Pros and cons of Rosemary + Green Tea Infused Squalane / Caprylic-Capric Triglyceride
Pros
Cons
- Evidence-backed botanicals: Rosemary and Green Tea 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 2+ years (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: camphor-containing — the infusion is far milder than the essential oil; avoid heavy use in pregnancy or epilepsy without guidance; 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.
- Carrier limits: Squalane: does not saponify — superfat only (1–3%); Caprylic-Capric Triglyceride: saponifies to a soft, low-lather bar — small superfat only (2–5%).
- Claims discipline: Hair and healing benefits are cosmetic (“supports,” “helps calm”) — not drug claims.
