What It Is

A clarifying scalp cleanse that clears residue and buildup before anything else can do its job — think of it as tilling the soil.

Best For

  • Product buildup
  • Oily or flaky scalp
  • Wash day reset
  • All hair types

Hero Ingredients

  • Lavender oil — calming, refreshing
  • Basil oil & caffeine — invigorating, clarifying

  1. Apply directly to a damp scalp, section by section.
  2. Massage in for about 60 seconds, focusing on the roots.
  3. Rinse thoroughly, then follow with shampoo.
Tip: use before a masque or oil treatment to help actives absorb better

FAQs

Will this dry out my scalp?

It's designed to clarify without over-stripping — follow with your regular conditioner as usual.

Can I use it every wash day?

It's built for weekly use; using it more often than that can be more clarifying than most scalps need.

FAQs

Can I use just the serum or just the spray?

They're formulated to be used together, one right after the other — we always recommend keeping them as a pair.

Morning or night?

Either works — pick whichever time you're most likely to stick with consistently.
