Our sulfate-free clarifying shampoo and scalp scrub goes beyond traditional scalp exfoliation with a Triple-Phase Formula that combines salt-based physical exfoliation, AHA/BHA chemical exfoliation + essential moisturizers. It thoroughly cleanses to reset the scalp without stripping. Leaving hair softer, lighter, and refreshed.

 

Salt takes the shampoo step on a scrub day. Foundation Shampoo is the regular shampoo option. Follow with Foundation Conditioner or Foundation Mask, using the directions for your chosen conditioner or mask.

In lieu of shampoo, massage a generous scoop onto wet roots to activate a rich lather. Add a splash more water once product is applied to amplify the lather, then rinse thoroughly. Follow with Foundation Conditioner or Mask. Use weekly or anytime hair and scalp need a reset.

FAQ

The Salt Scalp Scrub works as an exfoliating, clarifying shampoo. We recommend using it once a week, or as needed depending on buildup and scalp needs.

The Salt Scalp Scrub is formulated to gently exfoliate while still being gentle and balanced, so it won’t strip your scalp. Use in place of the Foundation Shampoo, and be sure to follow up with Foundation Conditioner or the Foundation Mask to hydrate and nourish.

No! The Salt Scalp Scrub is an exfoliating shampoo that works as a "double-cleanse-in-1" formula. Massage the scrub into your scalp to form a rich lather. Give a little extra attention to the back of your head, and anywhere else that's prone to build-up or flakes. Rinse thoroughly and follow up with conditioner.

Q&A

I have a Keratin treatment on my hair, will any of your products be bad for this?
Hi Gail, Thanks for your question! Our products are completely safe to use on color and keratin-treated hair. All of our products are vegan, cruelty-free, sulfate-free, paraben-free, triclosan-free, and made without gluten-containing ingredients! Our Foundation Shampoo and Conditioner are also free from sodium chloride, the salt most commonly linked to affecting keratin treatments. That said, we always suggest a patch test or checking in with your stylist if you have any specific concerns. Xx, Team RŌZ
