Why These 4 Oils Are in Every Oils from Eden Hair Blend — And Why Damaged Hair Needs Them Most

At Oils from Eden, we believe in formulating with intention. That’s why no matter your hair type—Type 1 to Type 4—every one of our hair oil blends is built on a foundation of four powerhouse oils that deliver nature’s repair system straight to your strands:

• Jojoba Oil

• Broccoli Seed Oil

• Meadowfoam Seed Oil

• Squalane (Olive-derived)

These oils aren’t chosen for trend appeal. They’re selected because of their unique ability to mimic the hair’s natural protective barrier, replenish what’s lost through styling or damage, and restore strength, softness, and shine—without heaviness.

Let’s explore why these four oils are the non-negotiable base in every Oils from Eden blend—and why they’re the core of our formulation for damaged or bleached hair.

🧬 Nature’s Answer to the F-Layer

Each hair strand is coated with a fatty acid layer called the F-layer, which contains 18-MEA, a unique lipid that makes hair naturally smooth, soft, and water-repellent. When hair is bleached, heat-styled, or chemically treated, this F-layer is stripped away.

Without it, hair becomes porous, dry, brittle, and frizzy—lacking both protection and shine.

Our 4-core oil base was designed to mimic or replenish this missing layer, using plant oils that reflect its structure and function:

🌟 The 4 Hero Oils — In Every Blend

1. Jojoba Oil

• Closest plant oil to human sebum

• Rich in wax esters—the same type found in the scalp's natural oils

• Replenishes the F-layer, restores softness, and balances oil production

• Non-greasy and suitable for all hair types, from fine Type 1 to coily Type 4

2. Broccoli Seed Oil

• Packed with erucic acid, a long-chain fatty acid that mimics the slip and gloss of silicones

• Leaves hair smooth, shiny, and frizz-free without buildup

• Perfect for replacing synthetic ingredients like amodimethicone naturally

• Lightweight yet deeply conditioning—ideal for damaged ends and detangling

3. Meadowfoam Seed Oil

• Rich in long-chain fatty acids that lock in moisture without greasiness

• Enhances shine and elasticity, forming a breathable film over the hair shaft

• Extremely stable and nourishing—great for heat-stressed or bleached hair

• Plays beautifully with other oils, amplifying their effectiveness

4. Squalane (Olive-derived)

• A skin- and scalp-compatible lipid that provides friction-free smoothness

• Non-comedogenic and feather-light—ideal even for low-porosity hair

• Helps improve hair texture and manageability

• Gives a natural, silky finish to all textures, without weighing them down

• 
  

💔 What Damaged Hair Needs Most

Hair that’s been bleached, heat-styled, or chemically altered has lost not just protein—but its lipid protection.

That’s why our special blend for damaged hair relies heavily on this 4-oil foundation. Together, they:

• Rebuild a protective lipid layer where the F-layer is missing

• Reduce breakage by smoothing rough, raised cuticles

• Restore softness and manageability, making detangling easier

• Seal in moisture without heaviness, promoting strength from within

For damaged strands, we build on this base with healing oils like babassu, hemp, and sunflower vitamin E, but these four remain the bedrock of repair.

🌱 A Foundation You Can Trust—For Every Hair Type

Whether you have straight, fine Type 1 hair that’s prone to oiliness or thick, coily Type 4 hair that craves deep nourishment, this core blend is balanced to serve the needs of all textures:

• Type 1-2 (Straight/Wavy): Lightweight, shine-boosting, non-greasy

• Type 3 (Curly): Moisture-locking and frizz-taming

• Type 4 (Coily/Kinky): Strengthening, detangling, and sealing

• 
  

✨ In Every Bottle, A Natural Shield

We don’t use silicones or synthetic film-formers. We let plants do the talking. Every Oils from Eden blend starts with these four oils because they mimic nature, not replace it.

If your hair has been through stress, over-processing, or just needs a little more love, you’ll find the repair your hair remembers—layer by layer.
