Shrub is also the first haircare brand to use oil from the Lunaria plant, more commonly known as the Honesty plant. Lunaria is an indigenous plant grown along the East coast of England, the oil is converted within 200 miles of North Star Lipids farm, meaning the carbon footprint production is very low. This key ingredient creates a healthy environment for hair to grow, as well as improving the shine of the hair. Other key ingredients, sourced from Blue Sky Botanics in Herefordshire, include nettle, elderflower, and white willow.
