Act+Acre Cold Processed Scalp Renew (BHA Salicylic Acid Scalp Exfoliator) 60ml

For Hair That's...

Those with an oily scalp, dry scalp, irritated/itchy scalp and/or scalp build up. 

What Does it Do?

This 15 minute pre-wash treatment is formulated with 0.15% BHA Salicylic Acid that clears away loose flakes and scalp itchiness while combating excess scalp oil.

• Exfoliates the scalp to clear flakes + build up
• Combats scalp oils (sebum) + supports healthy sebum levels
• Alleviates sensitive scalp
• When the scalp’s microbiome is unbalanced–whether that’s due to excessive oiliness, dryness, or a general pH variance—the scalp responds. As BHAs are oil-soluble, these powerful acids cut through surface oil and exfoliate deep within the hair follicles to remove buildup and restore harmony to your scalp’s ecosystem.

Key Ingredients:

• Salicylic Acid - Removes loose flakes + build up through gentle exfoliation of the scalp and similar to its role in skincare, it also helps to combat excess scalp oil  
• Papaya Extract - Bioactive fruit enzymes that gently remove dead skin and flakes while relieving the scalp
• Biodegradable Plant Cellulose Beads - Offers gentle physical exfoliation to help remove dry skin and product build-up without irritation

FAQ

Q: How often should Act & Acre Scalp Renew be used, and for how long?

A: It's a weekly pre-cleanse treatment. Leave it in for 15 minutes and follow with a thorough cleanse. Do not leave in for extended periods or overnight.

Q: How does exfoliation help to protect the hair follicle?

A: While there isn't a direct link between salicylic acid and hair growth, there is belief that it can potentially help in the prevention of hair loss. Salicylic acid works to remove excess oil + build up on the scalp, which may contain DHT, a hormone that can be secreted from the hair follicle and which has been shown to cause premature hair loss in both men and women. By exfoliating away excess sebum + build up on the scalp you help reduce premature excess hair shedding + loss. A healthy scalp environment supports healthy growth!
