Sx̱éḿx̱em Hair & Cuticle Oil with Horsetail & Nettle

30ml (1 fl oz)
Sale price$46.00 CAD

Best for:

Sx̱éḿx̱em (sk-wum-hwum) is the Squamish word for horsetail. This ancient, powerful plant is rich in silica content, which can help strengthen hair and nails. Hand-harvested nettle blends with jojoba seed and rosemary oils to further fortify and hydrate. A rich, woodsy scent revitalizes the senses as you massage the oil into hair or cuticles.

A portion of proceeds from this product will support the Nesting Doula Collective, a mutual aid initiative serving pregnant, birthing and postpartum families on Coast Salish territories.

Huy chexw a / thank you for supporting Skwalwen so that we can in turn support other Indigenous causes.

*Please consult your doctor for use during your pregnancy. We advise to avoid during pregnancy.

Why we made this
For Hair & Scalp
  • Structural Strength: Horsetail (Sx̱éḿx̱em) is one of the highest natural sources of Silica. Silica is a mineral that strengthens the hair shaft, reducing breakage and split ends.
  • Scalp Stimulation: Rosemary Leaf Oil and Nettle are recognized for their ability to improve micro-circulation. By invigorating the scalp, they help deliver more oxygen and nutrients to the hair follicles, which can encourage healthier, faster growth.
  • Frizz Control & Shine: Jojoba Seed Oil mimics the skin’s natural sebum. It smooths the hair cuticle (the outer layer), locking in moisture and flattening "frizz" for a natural, healthy sheen.
  • Protection: Sunflower Seed Oil is rich in Vitamin E and oleic acid, which act as a shield against environmental damage and UV-induced dryness.
For Cuticles & Nails
  • Nail Hardening: The high silica content from the Horsetail extract acts as a "hardening" agent for the nail plate. Regular massage can help prevent peeling and brittle nails.
  • Deep Hydration: Jojoba oil has a unique molecular structure that allows it to penetrate the tough skin of the cuticle better than most oils. It softens hard, ragged cuticles and prevents painful hangnails.
  • Antimicrobial Protection: Rosemary and Nettle have natural antiseptic properties. Massaging this oil into the nail bed helps keep the area clean and healthy, protecting against minor fungal or bacterial issues around the nail fold.
  • Soothing Relief: The anti-inflammatory properties of Nettle help calm redness or soreness around the cuticles caused by dryness or over-grooming.
Ingredients

Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Rosmarinus Officinalis Herb Oil, Equisetum Arvense Extract, Urtica Dioica Leaf, Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Oil.

Instructions

For Hair:
- Apply a few drops to damp hair (towel-dried). Water opens the hair cuticle slightly, allowing the Jojoba and Horsetail to "sink" inside the shaft rather than just sitting on top.
- Apply and massage into to roots and scalp at night. Leave overnight and wash in the morning.

For Nails: Apply last thing at night. This gives the oil a full 7–8 hours to repair the nail bed while you sleep.

Our Story

At Sḵwálwen, we sustainably harvest and source sacred plants that are known to help heal, hydrate, renew and bring balance.

Our heritage botanicals grow and thrive in particular terroir. We observe these plants throughout their growing season, looking for the cues and signs that they are ready to be harvested. This kind of awareness leads to a connection to place and a knowledge that can only be developed over time.

Each batch of Sḵwálwen products is made with care and intention, bringing you luxurious skincare products free from harsh chemicals, phthalates, synthetic fragrances, synthetic colors and parabens.
