Scalp Science
The scalp plays a crucial role in the regulation of sebum and overall hair follicle health. When improperly balanced, it can lead to excess oil, flakes, and scalp conditions such as dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. Our chemical exfoliant is formulated with Salicylic Acid, which cuts through surface oil and exfoliates deep within the hair follicles to remove build-up and restore balance to your scalp’s ecosystem.

FAQ
How much Salicylic Acid Scalp Exfoliator should be applied to the scalp?
A thin line per section. Use the pointed nozzle to draw sections across the scalp and lightly squeeze to apply a thin line of gel. Massage well and enjoy the cooling sensation.
How often should the Salicylic Acid Scalp Exfoliator be used, and for how long?
Scalp Renew is a weekly pre-cleanse treatment. Leave it in for 15 minutes and follow with a thorough cleanse. Do not leave in for extended periods or overnight.
Can I use both the Salicylic Acid Scalp Exfoliator and Scalp Detox together?
You can use both of products 1x per week (on differing days) prior to washing your hair. We recommend leaving each of them on for around 15-20 minutes before rinsing.
