"Fresh scalp must have! If you're looking for a product that makes your scalp feel like it has been washed at a salon, this is it!"
"Scalp breakouts, be gone! I wash my hair once a week and noticed a difference, I had less breakouts and flakiness. This product works well on breaking down that excess product in-between washes."
"Wow! This scalp exfoliator is a game-changer! Not only did it leave my hair feeling incredibly fresh and clean, but it also significantly reduced oiliness. Highly recommend."
“I can't believe what a difference this product has made to my scalp and hair health. I didn't have a particularly flaky scalp, but my scalp was itchy, and that stopped from the first time I used this. I think my curls are much healthier, too."
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Great question! We've been the global experts in exfoliating acids for almost 30 years and know how important regular exfoliation is for healthy, radiant skin. The skin on your scalp is very similar to (and just as important as) the skin on your face - it thins as we age and its pores get blocked, too.
Unhealthy scalp skin signs like super oily roots, flakes and clumps, redness, itchiness and limp, greasy and dull hair can impact your scalp microbiome, affecting hair health and growth. We wanted to take our clinical exfoliation expertise beyond the face to formulate a targeted scalp treatment to help our customers achieve their best hair.
-
Scalp scrubs physically exfoliate using gritty, grainy particles. If not used gently, these may do more harm than good. Healthy Scalp Exfoliating Treatment is a chemical exfoliant that uses exfoliating acid Salicylic Acid to gently and effectively dissolve the bonds that hold dead skin cells on the scalp together, no harsh scrubbing required!
-
Whilst the product is considered safe to use on all hair types, including hair that has been coloured or lightened, we would always recommend performing a patch test before the first application to ensure the product is suitable for you.
-
This product is considered safe to use whilst pregnant and/or breastfeeding, as it contains 1% Salicylic Acid in a wash-off formula. If you are ever unsure, always consult your medical professional.
-
Healthy Scalp Exfoliating Treatment is formulated to deliver your best hair. That starts with your scalp, but the results also include hair with more body and shine, extra days between hair washes, healthy hair growth and hair that feels less weighed down by dry shampoo and styling product build up. Plus, this product speeds up your hair wash routine.
-
Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp. Excess oil and dead skin cells on the scalp can lead to scalp irritation and inflammation, which can impact the scalp environment, thus affecting hair growth. Regular exfoliation contributes to a healthy scalp microbiome, creating a favourable environment for healthy hair growth.
