N

Natural Flower Oil — Oil extracted from flowers and used in synthetic-free perfumes and colognes. A natural fragrance.

Natural Grain Alcohol — Powerful antiseptic, naturally obtained through the fermenting of carbohydrates in grains. (Many cosmetic formulations contain isopropyl alcohol, a petrochemical that's much cheaper to use and very harsh and drying to the skin.)

Neroli — See Orange Blossom Oil.

Nettle — (Stinging Nettle) Urtica dioica. Excellent tonic and astringent, rich in phosphates and trace minerals. Promotes circulation to the skin and scalp and is said to stimulate hair growth, especially when combined with horsetail and coltsfoot. Its high silica and sulfur content make it very nourishing to the hair and scalp, and an excellent addition to products for thinning hair.

Niacin — Vitamin B-3, essential for blood circulation and healthy skin. (See also Vitamin B-complex.)

Nicotinic Acid — See Niacin.

Non-GMO — Not containing any genetically modified substances.

Nutmeg — Myristica fragrans. A popular spice in cooking, the nutmeg essential oil is used in cosmetics for its exotic, spicy fragrance.
