What is Amla Oil?
Amla oil is derived from the fruit of Phyllanthus emblica, commonly known as Indian Gooseberry. Traditionally, dried Amla is soaked in natural oils like coconut or sesame to extract its nutrients. HerbOcean Hair Oil uses Amla as a core ingredient, enhancing its efficacy with a balanced herbal formulation.
