What is Deserticola?
Deserticola™ is botalab’s ingredient made from a desert microalgae ferment (chlorella) rich in loliolide. RIMAN says it soothes the scalp and helps hydrate and nourish hair.
Do I need all three products?
No. The shampoo and conditioner make a good everyday pair. Add the hair oil serum if your ends feel dry or you want extra shine.
Is it vegan?
Yes. RIMAN says the botalab hair and body lines are V-label vegan certified.
Will it help with hair loss?
These are cosmetic hair care products, not a treatment. If you’re worried about hair loss or a scalp condition, please see a doctor or dermatologist.
