Usability 5.6 /10

From published features and owner comments · not a lab test.

Published ingredients and specs8.0/10
Oil page lists the full INCI, 1.7 oz / 50 ml size, step-by-step directions and all hair types; Leaping Bunny sits in the FAQ, but no country of manufacture is given.
Price transparency8.0/10
The $56 price shows without login and the 1.7 oz size sits beside it, with no never-charged compare-at; the free-shipping line reads $65 in the policy and $80 in the site banner.
Return window3.0/10
Returns are accepted within 14 days only for unopened items in original packaging and sale items are excluded, so an oil you have used cannot go back.
Guarantee and defect cover1.0/10
No satisfaction or money-back guarantee is published; the policy only asks buyers to report damaged or wrong items at once.
Subscription terms7.0/10
One-time purchase is available and the optional auto-ship shows 15% off ($47.60) at 30, 45 or 60-day intervals, but online cancel and reminders are not published.

Claims we checked

The published claim, then what we found. Live statuses. How we review

The claim

Supports healthy hair growth with weekly use (product is named a "hair growth oil")

What we found

Fine print

The study the brand cites measured loose-hair counts, not new hair; burdock root has no clinical trial on hair in humans, and a 2022 JAAD review found little evidence for hair oils.

Source · checked Nov 14, 2026

The claim

Nearly 50% reduction in hair shedding after 50 days (48.61%)

What we found

Fine print

Brand-commissioned study by Advanced Science Laboratories: 32 participants, 50 days, hair-pull test, p<0.0001. No control group or peer-reviewed paper is named, and the product page footnotes it as based on consumer perception.

Source · checked Nov 14, 2026

The claim
