The Science Behind Keyoma
Curious about why Keyoma features the ingredients it does? Discover the science behind the hair oil you love by exploring studies and trials on the components we use.
The Heart of Keyoma: Rosemary
A 2015 study compared rosemary oil to minoxidil, a well-known hair regrowth treatment. Participants with DHT-related hair loss used either rosemary oil or minoxidil for six months. Both groups saw significant hair growth, with the rosemary oil group experiencing slightly more growth, although the difference wasn't statistically significant. Additionally, the rosemary oil group reported less scalp itching compared to the minoxidil group, making it a preferable option for individuals prone to allergies or skin irritation.
A 2013 study on mice with testosterone-related hair loss showed that rosemary oil could regrow hair. A 2017 study suggested that rosemary oil might combat fungi and bacteria, indicating its potential to treat hair loss caused by infections or an unhealthy scalp. Research from 1998 on individuals with alopecia areata, an autoimmune disorder causing hair loss, found that 44% of participants improved with rosemary oil aromatherapy over seven months, compared to just 15% in the control group.
Further evidence points to rosemary's benefits for nerve tissue. Carnosic acid, a compound in rosemary, was found to heal tissue and nerve damage in one study, suggesting that continued use on the scalp may rejuvenate local nerves and promote hair growth. Recent studies also show that rosemary oil directly combats hair loss. A 2015 trial found rosemary essential oil as effective as minoxidil for treating androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness) and better at alleviating itchy scalp. Another study indicated that rosemary leaf extract (different from the essential oil) stimulated hair growth in mice with testosterone-induced hair loss. Clinical reviews from 2010 and 2011 highlighted rosemary's potential for hair regrowth, with the latter noting its circulation-boosting effects.

Key Honduran Ingredient: Batana Oil
Batana oil, extracted from the American palm tree (Elaeis oleifera), is a treasured ingredient in Honduran hair care for its remarkable hair growth and repair properties. This oil is rich in essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins, making it an excellent choice for promoting healthy, strong hair.
Promotes Hair Growth
Studies have shown that batana oil can significantly enhance hair growth. Its high content of oleic acid, linoleic acid, and palmitic acid nourishes the scalp and stimulates hair follicles, encouraging new hair growth. The antioxidants in batana oil protect hair follicles from damage caused by free radicals, further supporting healthy hair growth.
Repairs Damaged Hair
Batana oil is also known for its ability to repair and restore damaged hair. Its rich composition of essential nutrients helps to strengthen hair strands, reduce breakage, and prevent split ends. The oil penetrates deeply into the hair shaft, providing intense hydration and leaving hair smooth and shiny.
Improves Scalp Health
A healthy scalp is crucial for hair growth, and batana oil excels in promoting scalp health. Its anti-inflammatory properties soothe scalp irritation and reduce dandruff, while its antibacterial and antifungal properties keep the scalp clean and free from infections. Regular use of batana oil can create an optimal environment for hair growth.
Traditional Use and Cultural Significance
Batana oil has been used for centuries by the indigenous Miskito people of Honduras, who refer to it as "the miracle oil." They have long valued its ability to restore and enhance hair health. The traditional method of extracting batana oil involves roasting the palm nuts and then extracting the oil, ensuring that its natural properties are preserved.
Combining batana oil with rosemary in Keyoma creates a powerful blend that promotes hair growth, repairs damage, and improves overall hair and scalp health.
