Deep Dive: What is Biotique Bio Mountain Ebony Serum?

The Biotique Bio Mountain Ebony Serum is marketed as a 100% Ayurvedic hair treatment which reduces hair loss and the development of dandruff, strengthens the surface of weak hair, conditions dry and damaged hair, treats split ends and encourages new hair growth. It is from Biotique, a trusted brand for me for their natural, botanical-based skincare and haircare using Indian herbs and formulation.

It contains mountain ebony (known as Dalbergia Sissoo in scientific terms) which is traditionally used in Ayurveda and helps strengthen the hair and revitalise the scalp. Besides this, it is infused with a combination of other powerful herbs such as bhringraj, amla and neem that cleanse the scalp and minimize hair fall.

Did You Know? For centuries, Ayurveda has considered mountain ebony as a natural remedy to stimulate hair growth and to increase blood circulation in the scalp to build healthy hair roots, reduce dandruff and hair thinning and makes hair look shiny and great. Its antioxidative properties help to keep scalp healthy and hair growth shiny.

Real User & My Experiences

Some users see clear results for hair thickness and split ends after using it for 1215 days. The herbal scent that the cream has is nice, but not overwhelming. Many users say their scalp felt more soothed and less itchy, which is probably down to the calming effects of neem and bhringraj. Its lightweight texture also ensures that hair won’t become weighed down or feel greasy — great for lovers of an au naturel finish.

And, as a whipped styling cream, it has limitations If you have very dry or severely damaged hair (such as bleached hair), some users suggest using a richer hair mask once a week for best results. Some noted it took time and effort, so if you choose to go a more gentle (as in, not chemically-infused) route with these herbal serums, patience is key.

Editor’s Note: My Hair Type & How I Used It

For context, I’ve got medium-textured hair that’s colored and on the dry side, with mild split ends. After using Biotique Bio Mountain Ebony Serum every day for a month plus, I noticed that my hair felt smoother, there was less hair fall on the daily, and the scalp was not so flaky. The serum soaked in quickly, which I liked, and it didn’t interfere with my styling process.

But I always saw the growing benefits over time, nothing overnight, so I recommended to keep using it and living a healthy diet for the best possible outcome.

Pros and Cons: Weighing the Benefits and Drawbacks

How It Compares: Biotique vs The Competition

Now, let’s have a thorough look into how Biotique Bio Mountain Ebony serum fares when you compare it with two of its popular counterparts in herbal hair serum space.

1. Biotique Bio Mountain Ebony Serum vs Khadi Natural Herbal Hair Serum

I have tried many serums before and the common issue that I faced was that it never completely eliminated the frizz and I always ended up with the ‘greasy-hair-just-walked-out-of-the-shower’ look.

Biotique Bio Mountain Ebony Serum, however, has similar benefits as Khadi Natural Herbal Hair Serum in terms of nourishing hair roots and preventing hair fall but differs in fragrance and texture. Biotique’s serum is light and has a slight herbal fragrance, and is recommended for all hair types, particularly those with sensitive scalps, while Khadi’s is is a medium-weight serum with a stronger herbal scent, and ideal if you have dry or damaged hair. Budget-wise, Biotique is cheaper so you could say it’s a nice starter herbal serum.

2. Biotique Bio Mountain Ebony Serum vs Indulekha Bringha Hair Oil.

Unlike Indulekha Bringha Hair Oil, the serum is light, non-greasy and can be used everyday to nourish your scalp and repair your split ends. Indulekha It’s a thicker oil with a heavy traditional strong herbal fragrance and geared more towards encouraging thickening and hair growth. Indulekha may be more suitable for those seeking an oil-based intensive treatment and the Biotique serum works nicely within a contemporary minimalist haircare regime.

Biotique Bio Mountain Ebony Serum is an alternative, natural approach for hair care that effectively nurtures the hair without using damaging chemicals.

It’s not a miracle overnight solution, but with regular use you may well see your hair roots are stronger, your hair growth is stimulated and your split ends lessened. The non-greasy, lightweight texture feel is easy to include in your daily routine — without worry.

Particularly ideal for those with a sensitive scalp or otherwise suffer from mild hair fall, this serum is a gentle and yet effective choice for fans of natural hair care and the most budget-conscious shopper.
