• Benefits

• Hair Benefits

  Promotes hair growth

  Okra gel is rich in natural vitamins A, C, and K, and minerals like magnesium, potassium, and zinc. These nutrients help nourish hair follicles and stimulate hair growth. The antioxidants present in okra also help neutralize free radicals, which can damage hair follicles and hinder growth.

  Reduces frizz

  Okra gel has natural mucilage, a viscous substance that can help in detangling hair and reducing frizz. The mucilage forms a thin, smooth coating on each hair strand, which helps retain moisture and smoothens the hair cuticles, giving a frizz-free, well-conditioned appearance.

  Strengthens hair

  The vitamins and minerals present in okra, such as folic acid, vitamin B6, and biotin, help strengthen hair from the roots. These nutrients support keratin production, which is the primary structural protein in hair. Okra's nutrients also help improve hair elasticity, reducing the chances of breakage and hair loss.

  Hydrates and nourishes

  The natural polysaccharides and amino acids in okra gel helps hydrate and nourish hair by retaining moisture. The gel acts as a natural humectant, attracting and holding water molecules, which helps maintain hair's moisture balance and keeps it soft and supple.

  Prevents scalp issues

  Okra's antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties can help in preventing and treating scalp issues such as dandruff, itchiness, and irritation. The gel soothes the scalp and creates a healthy environment for hair growth.

  Enhances natural curl pattern

  For those with curly hair, Okra Gel can help enhance the natural curl pattern by providing gentle hold and definition. The mucilage in okra helps clump curls together, making them more manageable and reducing frizz.

  Protects against environmental damage

  The antioxidants in okra, such as vitamins A, C, and E, can help protect hair from environmental stressors like pollution, UV radiation, and harsh chemicals. This protection can reduce hair damage and maintain its overall health.

  Improves hair elasticity

  Okra Gel can help improve hair elasticity by nourishing and hydrating the hair shaft. This increased elasticity can make hair more resistant to breakage and damage, especially for those with chemically treated or heat-styled hair.

  Reduces hair thinning

  The nutrients and antioxidants found in okra, such as folic acid, vitamin C, and vitamin A, can help promote a healthy scalp and support hair follicle health. A healthier scalp can lead to reduced hair thinning and potentially stimulate hair growth.

  Tames flyaways and split ends

  Okra Gel can be used as a natural hair serum to tame flyaways and smooth split ends. The moisturizing properties of the gel can help seal hair cuticles and reduce the appearance of damaged hair, resulting in a smoother, more polished look.

  Provides heat protection

  The natural mucilage in okra can form a protective barrier on the hair shaft, shielding it from heat damage caused by styling tools like flat irons, curling wands, and blow dryers. This heat protection can help maintain hair health and prevent further damage.

  Supports color-treated hair

  Okra Gel can help retain color in dyed hair by sealing in moisture and preventing color molecules from escaping. This property can help prolong the vibrancy of color-treated hair and reduce the need for frequent touch-ups.

  Skin Benefits

  Boosts collagen production

  Okra is rich in vitamin C, which plays a vital role in collagen synthesis. Collagen is a structural protein that provides strength and elasticity to the skin. Increased collagen production helps maintain skin firmness, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

  Improves skin texture

  The mucilage in okra gel has natural exfoliating properties, which help remove dead skin cells and impurities from the skin's surface. This process promotes cell turnover and reveals a smoother, more radiant complexion.

  Fights acne and blemishes

  Okra contains compounds like flavonoids and tannins, which possess antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. These compounds help combat acne-causing bacteria and soothe skin inflammation, reducing the appearance of acne and blemishes.

  Protects and repairs skin

  The antioxidants in okra, such as vitamins A and C, help protect the skin from environmental damage caused by free radicals. They also aid in skin repair and rejuvenation, promoting a healthier and more youthful appearance.

  Evens out skin tone

  Okra's vitamin C content can help in brightening the skin and reducing hyperpigmentation. Regular use of Okra Gel may result in a more even skin tone and a reduction in the appearance of dark spots and age spots.

  Soothes irritated skin

  Okra's anti-inflammatory properties can help soothe irritated or inflamed skin. It may provide relief for various skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea by calming redness and reducing itching.

  Enhances skin's natural barrier

  The natural polysaccharides in Okra Gel can help strengthen the skin's natural barrier by retaining moisture and preventing water loss. This improved barrier function can protect the skin from external irritants and allergens, promoting overall skin health.

  Delays signs of aging

  Okra Gel contains antioxidants like vitamins A and C, which can help delay the signs of aging by neutralizing free radicals that contribute to skin damage. These antioxidants can help maintain the skin's elasticity and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines over time.

  Supports skin healing

  The vitamin K present in okra can help support the skin's natural healing process. It plays a crucial role in blood clotting and wound healing, which can help reduce the appearance of scars and speed up the recovery process for skin injuries.

  Provides gentle exfoliation

  The natural mucilage in Okra Gel can act as a gentle exfoliator, helping to remove dead skin cells and promote cell turnover. This exfoliating effect can result in a smoother, brighter complexion without causing irritation or sensitivities often associated with harsher exfoliating agents.

  Reduces puffiness and dark circles

  Okra's anti-inflammatory properties can help reduce puffiness and dark circles around the eyes. The cooling effect of Okra Gel can also provide relief and soothe the delicate skin around the eyes, making it a suitable ingredient for eye care products.

  Balances skin's oil production

  Okra Gel can help balance the skin's oil production by providing lightweight hydration without clogging pores. This balance can be particularly beneficial for those with oily or combination skin types, as it can prevent excess sebum production and reduce the occurrence of breakouts.

  Nothing is hidden, here at Alara. What all the science goes into making your favorite Okra Gel?

  Aqua

  Aqua, which means water, serves as a base or carrier for other ingredients.

  Glycerol

  Glycerol, also known as glycerin or glycerine, provides hydration without contributing to breakouts or congestion. It is a great Moisturizer and has a soothing and calming effect.

  Propylene Glycol

  Propylene Glycol has the ability to enhance the penetration of other ingredients into the skin. It can help deliver active ingredients more effectively, allowing them to reach deeper layers of the skin where they can exert their beneficial effects.

  Glycerin (and) Glyceryl

  Glycerin: Glycerin, also known as glycerol, is a natural humectant derived from vegetable oils or animal fats.

  Glyceryl: Glyceryl is a prefix that is combined with other compounds to form various skincare ingredients.

  Glycerin and glyceryl are both humectants, meaning they attract moisture from the environment and help retain it in the skin. They help to reinforce the skin's natural moisture barrier, reducing water loss through the epidermis.

  Glucoside

  Glucosides are a group of compounds that consist of a glucose molecule (a sugar) bound to another non-sugar molecule. In skin care, various types of glucosides are used for their beneficial properties. It is often used in skin brightening and lightening as well as for Moisturization and hydration.

  Triethanolamine

  Triethanolamine, often abbreviated as TEA, is a chemical compound that is formed by the reaction of ethylene oxide with ammonia. It is primarily used as a pH adjuster and emulsifying agent.

  Carbomer

  Carbomer helps improve the texture and consistency of skincare formulations. It provides a smooth and gel-like texture, making the product easier to apply and spread evenly on the skin. It is also a great moisturizer.

  Phenoxyethanol and Ethylhexylglycerin

  Phenoxyethanol and Ethylhexylglycerin are commonly used preservatives.

  PEG - 40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil

  When PEG-40 is combined with hydrogenated castor oil, it forms PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil. It serves as an emulsifier, surfactant, and solubilizer in skincare products.

  What are emulsifiers, surfactants, and solubilizers?

  Emulsifier : Emulsifiers are ingredients used to stabilize and create a uniform mixture of oil and water-based ingredients. They help prevent the separation of these two components, ensuring that the product remains well-mixed and consistent.

  Surfactant : Surfactants, short for surface-active agents, are used for their cleansing, foaming, and emulsifying properties.

  Solubilizer : Solubilizers are ingredients used to improve the solubility and dispersibility of insoluble substances, such as essential oils, fragrances, and certain active ingredients, in water-based products. They help create clear and homogeneous solutions by enabling the incorporation of hydrophobic (oil-based) components into water-based formulations.
