Strong surfactants and fragrance can bother very sensitive scalps.
Patch test before full use if you have fragrance allergies or reactive skin.
Best suited for users seeking a clear, balanced cleanse. Effectively targets buildup while maintaining a light feel. Be mindful of surfactant strength and fragrance if you are sensitive.
