For oily skin, it is cleansing, clarifying and emollient and soothes sensitive skins.

Storage and Shelf Life
2-3 years. Store in the dark and keep dry.
Related/Synergistic Products
Due to the fact that nettle doesn’t have any saponins (natural soap) to open up the pores it is very important that you use a herb that does contains saponins when you make a shampoo.
As we want the minerals to penetrate down into the scalp and that’s what the saponins help them to do.
Birch and Horsetail herbs are excellent for this purpose.
Always use at least 10% of these in a hair care product with nettle.
