Expert note

Clarifying shampoo with many beneficial ingredients but contains Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES). Packed with vitamins (Niacinamide, B6, Vitamin E), antioxidants (Apple, Green Tea), and Salicylic Acid for deep cleansing. Contains protein (Lemon Protein) and natural preservative. Good for oily scalp needing deep cleansing but may be too stripping for dry or color-treated hair due to sulfate content.

Safety & Allergens

Fragrance allergens (linalool, geraniol, coumarin) may be present if fragrance is listed.

Strong surfactants and fragrance can bother very sensitive scalps.

Patch test before full use if you have fragrance allergies or reactive skin.

Summary
