No. The pH level (acid/alkaline measurement) of our internal fluids affects every cell in our bodies. Extended acid imbalances of any kind can overwhelm our bodies BUT adding oil to the scalp cancels out the excess oil, balancing pH levels.
The main differences between men's and women's scalps are oxygen flow, blood circulation and cell renewal that comes from lifestyle and hormonal differences.
Women use more chemicals on their hair and scalp, therefore the results will be better if they use the YAROK Serum that’s designed for them.

Choose a Serum that speaks to the condition of the scalp and hair, not the color. African-American hair has a darker, stronger pigment, which has a tendency to be curly and dry.

We understand that women who are pregnant or nursing may have concerns about using such powerful plant-based extracts. We feel this is a valid concern. Many doctors recommend staying away from all herbs and essential oils during pregnancy and while nursing. Yet, many midwives and other holistic practitioners utilize herbs and essential oils specifically during pregnancy and nursing.
Thirty to 60 minutes is the ideal length of time for YAROK serums to stay on the hair. Like vitamins, the scalp and hair take the nutrients they need from YAROK Serum. Longer processing time does not necessarily yield greater results.
The use of oil is not recommended during direct sun exposure. However, Serum 4: CHILL AFTER SUN is recommended to soothe the scalp after overexposure.

To be certified organic, a product needs to contain 94% organic ingredients. However, it's challenging to ensure that all YAROK formulations are 94% organic due to the rarity of the ingredients chosen coupled with the differing climates and organic guidelines in each country. YAROK promises formulations that are more than 78% organic along with non-sprayed, responsibly harvested ingredients. The sources for our essential oils where chosen for their traceable records (each has a certificate of origin for their plant sources) and a passion for the practice of Aromatherapy.
YAROK packaging is recyclable.
