A balanced, well-behaved scalp in five minutes flat.

Rapid Scalp Exfoliant is powered by a multi-targeted, skincare-first formula that gently whisks away dead skin cells and thoroughly clarifies oils, grease, and stubborn product build-up.

BHAs (salicylic acid and willow bark extract) target oil and sebum to balance oily scalps and tackle clogged follicles, giving you more time between washes. Meanwhile, AHAs (lactic acid, glycolic acid and mandelic acid) break down any lingering residue while promoting healthy cell renewal.

The star of the show is willowherb extract, a powerhouse plant extract known for maintaining the scalp ecosystem. (Fancy!) By regulating sebum production, this plant extract helps deliver a more stable and balanced scalp that stays less oily, longer. Plus, a trio of ultra-light hydrators (think: glycerin, propanediol, and saccharide isomerate) replenish the scalp, fight flakes, and help reinforce the barrier. (Yep! Your scalp has one too.)

While these take care of your scalp, quinoa extract looks after your hair—conditioning, boosting shine, and supporting the hair fiber against external stresses (heat, humidity, pollution). ‘Cos good hair days start at the root.

Formulated to thoroughly clarify build up (not your root colour), Rapid Scalp Exfoliant is clinically proven* to reduce colour fade by 47% and maintain colour vibrancy. Nice!

*Based on an ex vivo study of 10 hair tresses.

Gentle on Scalp
I use pre-wash scalp oils & treatments pretty regularly as I have very dry scalp and frizzy wavy hair. As a long time Go-To fan I thought it was worth trying the exfoliant when my usual ran out. It is very good. Noticeable difference in my scalp condition and has not irritated my scalp at all.
