Carley’s Eyebrow Butter-Serum

7 Essential Oils for Thicker Fuller Eyebrows

Massage into your Eyebrows and allow to set for 5 to 10 minutes until fully absorbed.

If you do your research you will see there are several Essential Oils and Herbs known for helping hair growth. Plain serums unfortunately don’t absorb as well as a fast absorbing moisturizer/butter base.

We have a customer who owns a Salon. She had this to report:
One of my clients told me that using the eyebrow cream has saved her thousands of dollars because it grew back her brows extremely thick. She told me that she would get a treatment called microblading that inks in the eyebrow (like a temp tattoo) and she pays $500 every 3 months to get it done. So since using the cream her brows filled in completely and she no longer needs the microblading. I am finding out that the microblading can cost between $300 - $800 per visit and has to be done every 3 months or so to keep up results. Sandra

Ingredients (in order of prominence)

Reverse Osmosis Purified Water virtually all skin care products ‘say’ they use purified water. But the real deal is reverse osmosis purified water. This mean ZERO contaminants which means the starting point is pure. It’s expensive to do (goes through 5 filters, which have to be changed often), but it is the only water we use. We use the waste water from this purifying process to water our flowers and landscaping. So there is no waste. Don’t some products use distilled water? Yes but distilled water is environmentally expensive to make (heat is used to boil the dirty water and steam is collected). The problem we have with distilled water is it has a lower pH due to the extra ions added during the process. it’s very harsh. We prefer to work with pH neutral water. To me there is no more perfect water than R-O water. I remember the 1st time we made soap with it. As we poured the soap it was so creamy! It looked like home made ice cream right before it gets solid. It’s one of our special secrets to how good our products are. Again, no one does this.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil: (Olea Europaea) Olive oil is a fantastic oil for repairing and nourishing hair—that’s why you’ll find olive oil in many hair treatments, shampoos, and products, Olive oil is just as beneficial for our eyebrows as it is for our hair. It contains fatty acids as well as vitamins E and K, which all work to soften, moisturize, repair, and protect our hair and hair follicles.

Olive oil can help your brows grow and reduce dandruff. The omega fatty acids (specifically oleic and linoleic acids) within olive oil help to keep the skin and hair follicles moisturized and prevent dandruff. These same fatty acids also help stop moisture loss.

There are also studies that show that olive oil may inhibit a hormone which causes hair loss. Thus, daily use of olive oil on the eyebrows may prevent thinning of the eyebrows over time.

Castor Oil: (Ricinus Communis) Castor oil’s reputation as a potential treatment for hair loss has led to people using it as a way to grow thicker, more lustrous eyebrows and eyelashes.

BTMS (Behentrimonium Methosulfate Cetearyl Alcohol) This is a vegetable wax. Sulfate and sulfur free. This holds the oils and the water together so the skin and hair can absorb.

Glycerin (Vegetable) Unless a skin care product specifically says vegetable glycerin, the glycerin they almost always use contains animal derived glycerin. I won’t even get into describing what part of the animal they use. Think of everything in a cow and pig they cannot sell as food. Yes everything. EVERYTHING! Put it this way it is a big joke in the cosmetic community how many vegetarians are using animal based products and don’t know it. We don’t use animal derived ingredients because we just don’t know what is in them. To increase their weight, they pump a lot of stuff into animals right before slaughter.

Panthenol (2%) Pantothenic acid (Vitamin B5) is present in all living cells in the form of Pantothenic acid which is a constituent of Co-enzyme A. A deficiency in Pantothenic acid results in dermatological and many physiological disorders. It is used in many hair care products but also is easily absorbed by the skin. Well known for it’s anti-inflammatory properties for professional skin care formulations where it also acts as a powerful redness reducer even when used at only 1.0%. Hmmmmm, redness reducer? Anti-inflammatory? Problem is… it is expensive. At $15 a pound, manufacturers either don’t use it, or use just barely enough to put it on the label. We use 2%. That’s a lot.

Cetyl Stearyl Alcohol (vegetable wax) this is a waxy vegetable ingredient used to give the moisturizers a bit of heft and contact feel. It also is a lubricant.

Germall Plus (4/10’s of 1%) (diazolidinyl Urea, 3-Iodo-2-propylbutylcarbarmate) (a vegetable derived preservative to keep our product fresh) only needs 4/10’s of one percent to keep our product safe. Look before you ask, no totally natural preservative really protects products from bacteria. We don’t like using Parabens. and since we pH balance our moisturizers we are limited in our choice of preservatives. What’s great about this one is so little is needed to afford protection.

Two Herbs are well known for promoting eyebrow hair growth. We make a concentrated decoction, then filter and use the decoction to make the the Butter-Serum. It’s a special process we have developed.

Fenugreek.(Trigonella Foenum Graecum) Fenugreek contains hormones that stimulate hair growth and hence makes your brows dense. Fenugreek also is a good source of protein and also nicotinic acid that helps strengthen the hair shaft. This prevents shedding and maintains your brows. Regularly using fenugreek on brows stimulates growth and also allows new hair to grow. Apart from hair growth, it also adds a healthy shine to your hair making your brows look healthy. Fenugreek is a popular ingredient in the Indian art of Ayurvedic medicine.

Hibiscus (Hibiscus Rosa Sinensis Linn) Hibiscus is a beautiful flower. Who would have thought nature would also include nutrients beneficial for hair growth? A number of recent studies have showed that hibiscus can boost hair growth. Its leaves work wonder as well since they possess a slightly upper hand. We use both the leaves and the flowers.

Essential oils: Below are widely considered the 7 best Essential Oils for hair growth and thicker fuller eyebrows.

Helichrysum italicum (Immortelle)True Helichrysum Italicum oil, also known as Immortelle, is grown only in a few spots around the world and is unsurpassed in its ability to rejuvenate the look of healthy, unblemished skin. Few skin care products use this essential oil due to the cost. It’s healing ability makes it the king of all essential oils.

Lavender (LAVANDULA ANGUSTIFOLIA) The antibacterial, antifungal and antiseptic lavender essential oil is beloved by almost everyone, and for a good reason. It soothes skin conditions, bruises and burns, headaches, insomnia, and can even help with mild infections. Lavender Essential Oil is also well know for preventing hair loss.

Cedarwood Essential Oil (Cedrus Atlantica) Who knew that the oil from a tree could be so beneficial to your health and wellness? Surprisingly, cedarwood essential oil has anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, antifungal, tonic, astringent, diuretic, sedative and insecticidal properties. It’s no wonder why cedars are so often mentioned in the Bible, symbolizing a source of protection, wisdom and abundance.

These impressive characteristics of cedarwood oil make it useful for such a wide range of common health concerns including skin problems, hair loss, infections, stress and much more.

Geranium (PELARGONIUM GRAVEOLENS) Geranium essential oil is another valuable addition to your beauty care, as it has great moisturizing properties. This essential oil is also antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, regenerative and tonic. It improves circulation and supports cell growth.

LEMON EUCALYPTIS (Eucalyptus citriodora) Lemon Eucalyptis for hair growth works as a way of rejuvenating your hair follicles. It will stimulate the follicles and ensure that your follicles are clear of buildup, which is one of the leading causes for hair loss.

Clary Sage Essential Oil (Salvia Sclarea) Clary sage oil promotes hair growth and stimulates the scalp.

Rosemary (ROSMARINUS OFFICINALIS) Besides smelling gorgeous, refreshing and calming at the same time, rosemary essential oil is a universal tool to have at home. It is antibacterial and antifungal among many other beneficial properties. It improves circulation and the look of your skin and hair.

Best if used within one year of receipt. I’ll bet no skin care product you have bought from a store was made within the last year. Most store bought products were made years ago. We find we can better control our quality if we make products as they are used. Fresh just makes for better skin care products. Our families all use our products. We only sell what we would use.

No animal testing! We also get assurances from our suppliers that all of our ingredients are not animal tested.

Why pH neutral (balanced)? This is another reason our products are so different. Just about everything out there for the skin is acidic. In the beginning we wondered why? It used to not be so. Before this crop of preservatives came on the market it was believed that most skin products were pH neutral. These paraben preservatives worked remarkably well. Long long shelf lives meant manufacturers could make huge batches and just store them until sold. Of course they had to set their marketing machine loose to tell us how good acids were for the skin. Because these preservatives required an acid formulation. Since adult acne is a rather new phenomenon, ask those adults with acne how all these acids are working out for them.

Our bodies crave balance. Our blood is pH neutral, to slightly alkaline. This fantasy about the ‘acid mantle’ was made up out of whole cloth to sell these acid products. Think about it: if acids were so good for the skin why does it feel so good to take a swim in the ocean? Which is the opposite. Alkaline. Fact is, if pollution ever turned our precious oceans acidic, most sea life would be dead. So why are we polluting our skin with acids?

So why are we so different? We decided a long time ago, not to go big. Not to sell out. Our business model was the very best ingredients, fresh made and shipped direct to our customers. No retail stores to get in the way and tell us what to do. We are not perfect. We make mistakes. We are working with highly precious ingredients that make producing products with them difficult. If our products aren’t good enough, then we keep improving them until they are the best. We listen to our customers and respond to their requests and suggestions. Our only boss is our customers. Our guarantee comes with no time limit.

Most skin and hair care products you buy today, were made in large factories years ago and have been in storage. Everything we ship was made in small batches within a few weeks of shipping. Fresh matters! Quality ingredients matter!

Most of our ingredients are as close to natural as possible. We avoid overly processed ingredients. Processing means heat and that destroys the goodness in these precious ingredients we use.
