MOEV SCALP CLARIFYING SHAMPOO 500ml

Values You Can Trust: 100% Genuine (Adilsons sourcing policy) / Halal-Friendly* (Self-Assessed) / Vegan-Friendly* (Self-Assessed). We could not confirm a full ingredient list for this exact SKU, so we are deliberately not adding an FA-Safe, Pregnancy-Safe, Fragrance-Free, or Microplastic-Free badge here the way a fully-INCI-verified product would get — see Complete Ingredient Transparency and Allergens below for exactly what we could and could not confirm.

AM/PM Suitability: Either — this is a wash-day product, not a timed leave-on step. Routine Complexity: Straightforward, a one-step cleanse. MFDS Classification: not confirmed as a registered Functional Cosmetic for this SKU — see Evidence, Regulation and Claims below.

A scalp that feels heavy, itchy, or "just not clean" even right after a regular wash is a genuinely frustrating, hard-to-fix-feeling problem in Mauritius heat — this product is built for that specific reset moment, not as a daily replacement for your normal shampoo.

Pros: targets buildup and oil specifically rather than just cleansing generally; Climbazole gives it a real, well-studied antifungal mechanism against flake-causing Malassezia yeast; mildly-acidic pH positioning aligns with not over-stripping the scalp's acid mantle.

Caveats: we could not locate a full ingredient list for this exact SKU despite checking multiple retailers, so several standard transparency checks (fragrance breakdown, full FA-safety screen, microplastic status) could not be completed with full confidence; reviewer sentiment suggests it may be too stripping for naturally dry scalps used as a daily shampoo rather than a periodic clarifying wash.

In Mauritius heat and humidity, a scalp that feels greasy or heavy by midday is usually sweat and sebum doing their normal job, not dirt — but styling products, sunscreen overspray, and hard-water mineral residue genuinely do build up on the scalp and hair shaft over days, which is what a clarifying wash is specifically built to remove. Washing with a stripping formula too often, though, pushes past removing buildup into damaging the acid mantle (roughly pH 4.5-5.5), which then triggers compensatory sebum overproduction.

This is exactly why a clarifying formula like this one is positioned as a periodic reset rather than an everyday shampoo: used once or twice a week alongside a gentler daily wash, it removes the buildup a regular shampoo leaves behind without over-cleansing the scalp on a day-to-day basis.

• When: AM or PM, whichever wash-day slot suits you — used periodically (commonly 1-3x/week) rather than as your only daily shampoo, unless your scalp is genuinely oily and tolerates it well.
• How much: a 50-cent-coin-size pool in your palm, more for longer or thicker hair, poured into your hand rather than directly onto your head if the bottle has no pump.
• How: massage into thoroughly wet hair and scalp with fingertips, lather for a full 60 seconds so the surfactants have contact time with oil and buildup, then rinse completely.

"Introduce this as the ONLY new product in your routine. Wait a full 14 days before adding anything else. This isolation window ensures you can identify whether any reaction is caused by this specific product."

1. Wet hair thoroughly with warm, not hot, water.
2. MOEV Scalp Clarifying Shampoo — massage into the scalp for a full 60 seconds, focusing on areas that feel heaviest or most product-laden.
3. Rinse completely until the water runs clear and hair no longer feels slick.
4. Follow with a hydrating conditioner on the mid-lengths and ends, since a clarifying wash by design does not leave conditioning residue behind.
5. Towel-dry by patting, not rubbing.

A morning clarifying wash works well before a day that involves heavy sweating or a workout, since it starts the day with a genuinely residue-free scalp rather than layering fresh sweat onto yesterday's buildup.

1. Wet hair thoroughly.
2. MOEV Scalp Clarifying Shampoo — massage into the scalp, a full 60 seconds, concentrating on the areas where sweat, sunscreen overspray, or styling product concentrate after a full day.
3. Rinse completely.
4. Conditioner on mid-lengths/ends as needed.
5. Dry hair fully before bed — a damp scalp against a pillow in Mauritius humidity is a more comfortable environment for odor-causing bacteria and yeast than dry hair.

An evening clarifying wash is the more common choice for most people, since it lets you reset from a full day's sweat, sebum, sunscreen, and product accumulation before sleep rather than carrying it overnight.

Technique: massage with fingertip pressure rather than fingernails, and give it the full 60 seconds of lather contact time — a clarifying formula's job is to break down buildup, which takes longer than a quick rinse-through with an everyday shampoo.

Wait time: the 60-second lather itself is the "wait time" here; there is no separate leave-on step.

If your bottle has no pump dispenser, pour into your palm first rather than tipping it directly over wet hair, to avoid overpouring — a genuine risk with this format, per reviewer feedback on the brand's other bottles.

This is an encyclopedia map of all product types. You do not use all of these daily. You select modules based on your skin state.

Viscosity ladder: thinnest to thickest; water-phase before oil-phase; treatments before seals. Amount defaults: watery toner/essence 5-8 drops; serum/ampoule 2-3 drops or 1 pump; eye product ½ rice-grain per eye; gel moisturizer 1-1.5 peas, cream 1-2 peas; occlusive seal rice-grain to pea-size; sunscreen 2-finger rule for face, +1 finger for neck. Hard cap rule: if the routine pills, stings, or feels heavy, reduce layers, not increase.

AM Maximum Stack (not all steps are used daily — pick what your skin needs):

Do not layer retinoids with AHA/BHA in the same night; keep "one lane" per night. This shampoo has no interaction with this facial map — it is included here only because this encyclopedia renders for every product Adilsons sells.

One-lane rule: Retinoid OR Exfoliation OR Strong Vitamin C (LAA) OR Acne-control active per routine; barrier/hydration can always accompany. If unsure, default to the safest lane — barrier/hydration — and reduce layers.

This product sits at the very start of a hair-washing routine as a rinse-off cleansing step, not a leave-on treatment — apply it first, rinse completely, then follow with conditioner or a scalp treatment if your hair needs one.

Because it fully rinses away, it does not compete with or need to be layered under anything else the way a leave-on serum does; its only "layering" relationship is that conditioner should go on afterward, kept off the scalp itself so it doesn't reintroduce the residue this shampoo just removed.

Rest days: alternate this with a gentler daily shampoo rather than using it for every wash — this is a category convention for clarifying formulas generally, not a specific frequency the brand states, since MOEV's own listings do not publish a recommended wash cadence for this SKU.

Overuse warning: using a clarifying shampoo for every single wash does NOT produce a cleaner scalp faster — it produces a stripped, tight, potentially flakier scalp as the acid mantle and natural sebum balance get disrupted.

Tightness vs. reaction: mild post-wash tightness that fades within an hour is a normal clarifying-shampoo sensation on a dry-leaning scalp; redness, persistent burning, or itching that doesn't resolve is a reaction — stop and patch test separately if you see the second pattern.

This is a foundational-level cosmetic cleansing product with no required precondition — there is no barrier-health prerequisite the way there is for a facial active serum.

A clarifying shampoo removes buildup; it does not diagnose or treat the underlying cause of chronic flaking, which can be dryness, seborrheic dermatitis, or a fungal condition that each need different, sometimes opposite, care.

Scalp buildup and excess oil: the surfactant base lifts sebum, sweat residue, and styling-product film from the scalp and hair shaft; Citric Acid is brand-marketed to help refine scalp condition post-cleanse, likely functioning as a mild pH adjuster/chelating agent rather than an exfoliating acid at shampoo contact times.

Visible flaking: Climbazole is a genuinely well-studied antifungal ingredient that targets Malassezia, the yeast most commonly linked to dandruff-type flaking — this is a real, established mechanism, separate from the brand's own unverified marketing claims about the finished product.

What this product cannot do: it cannot treat seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, or a diagnosed fungal scalp condition on its own — those need a dermatologist; it cannot permanently "fix" oil production, since sebum is a normal, ongoing scalp function that returns after any wash; and it is not a leave-on treatment, so it has no lasting effect once rinsed away.

Every pairing below was checked against our live catalog for both active status and real inventory before being listed.

• Seapuri Scalpy Bubble Tonic 100ml — a pre-shampoo, foaming deep-cleanse treatment for oily scalps; apply before this shampoo on clarifying-wash days for a deeper buildup lift.
• Medicube Rosemary PDRN Hair & Scalp Conditioner 250ml — a hydrating conditioner to follow this shampoo with, replacing the moisture a clarifying wash deliberately strips from the mid-lengths and ends.
• seapuri Scalpy Hair Serum 20ml — a leave-on scalp serum to use on the days between clarifying washes, to support scalp balance without adding buildup back.
• A'pieu Mint Scalp & Hair Vinegar — a lighter, rinse-off clarifying vinegar rinse for a gentler reset on the weeks you want something less intensive than a full clarifying shampoo.
• NINE LESS Root-Biome™ Caffeine Scalp Shampoo — a gentler, caffeine-forward everyday shampoo to alternate with this clarifying formula so you are not clarifying at every wash.

Residue note: apply conditioner to mid-lengths and ends only, not the scalp, after this shampoo — reintroducing conditioner residue at the roots undoes part of what the clarifying wash just removed.

MYTH: "A clarifying shampoo should replace your regular shampoo entirely." REALITY: clarifying formulas are built to be more thorough than an everyday shampoo, which means they can also remove more of the scalp's natural oil and any conditioning agents you rely on — most hair types do better alternating it with a gentler daily shampoo than using it for every wash.

MYTH: "If my scalp still feels oily after washing, I need an even stronger clarifying shampoo." REALITY: scalp oil returns naturally within hours to a day regardless of how strong the shampoo was — that's normal sebum production, not a sign the wash failed, and washing more aggressively can actually increase oil production by triggering the over-cleansing cycle described above.

Hard water note: Mauritius tap water hardness varies by region, and hard water leaves a calcium-mineral film on the scalp and hair shaft that a regular gentle shampoo often can't fully remove — this is precisely the kind of buildup a clarifying formula like this one is designed to lift, making it a genuinely useful monthly-or-so reset in harder-water areas even for scalps that aren't otherwise oily.

*This is a brand marketing term ("Honey Biotics") rather than a confirmed raw INCI ingredient name — we are reporting it as marketed, not as an independently verified ingredient.

Full INCI: we could not locate a complete, numbered ingredient list for this exact SKU anywhere — not on the brand's own retail listings, not on INCIDecoder or Skinsort (neither has a dedicated page for this specific product, only for the separate Annurcatin Shampoo), and direct access to StyleKorean, YesStyle, Princess Cosmetics Qatar, SleekShop, and shopmoev.com was blocked in our research environment. Full ingredient list not publicly disclosed by the brand at the time of writing. We are deliberately not substituting the sibling Annurcatin Shampoo's INCI here, since that is a different formulation on a different MOEV sub-line.

Delivery system: none disclosed — presumed to be a standard rinse-off surfactant emulsion, consistent with the rest of MOEV's shampoo range.

We could not find a published pH figure; the brand describes it only as "mildly acidic," so we are stating plainly: pH not publicly disclosed.

Preservative system: not confirmed — full INCI unavailable for this exact SKU.

Fragrance status: Not confirmed. Most rinse-off shampoos in this category carry a synthetic fragrance, and no MOEV retailer listing for this SKU claims "fragrance-free," but without a full INCI we cannot state this as verified fact rather than a reasonable inference.

Scent: not independently described in available sourcing for this exact SKU.

EU 26 allergen screen: not assessable — full INCI unavailable for this exact SKU. If you have a known fragrance allergy, patch test before your first full wash rather than assuming this formula is allergen-free.

*Based on available research only, not a confirmed brand-declared INCI. Patch test advised for anyone with known fragrance sensitivities given this uncertainty.

Alcohol disclosure: not assessed — full INCI unavailable for this exact SKU.

Halal Status: Halal-Friendly*.

*Self-assessed by Adilsons based on available INCI data. No ethanol from fermentation, no porcine-derived ingredients, and no haram animal-derived ingredients detected in the declared ingredient list. This is NOT a formal Halal certification. Muslims with stricter requirements should consult their own scholars.

Our "available INCI data" here is limited to the three brand-marketed actives (Citric Acid, Climbazole, Lactobacillus Ferment) rather than a complete ingredient list, since a full INCI could not be located for this exact SKU — treat this self-assessment as lower-confidence than one made from a full ingredient list.

Vegan Status: Vegan-Friendly*.

*Self-assessed by Adilsons based on available INCI data. No animal-derived ingredients detected in the declared list. This is NOT a formal vegan certification by The Vegan Society or an equivalent body.

The same lower-confidence caveat applies as for Halal above — a full INCI was not available for this exact SKU.

Cruelty-Free Status: Brand-stated policy.*

*Brand/retailer marketing describes MOEV products as cruelty-free and vegan, but we found no listing on PETA's or Leaping Bunny's public certification databases during our research. Not independently certified by a third-party audit at the time of writing. Whether MOEV retails in Mainland China (where post-market animal testing can be legally required) was not confirmed.

Microplastic Status: Not assessed — full INCI unavailable for this exact SKU, so we cannot confirm whether any insoluble synthetic polymer is present.

MFDS Classification: not confirmed as a registered Functional Cosmetic (기능성화장품) for this SKU. This is a General Cosmetic clarifying shampoo, not a claimed medical/functional product.

Clinical evidence: retailer marketing describes this shampoo as removing excess sebum and reducing visible flaking, but no study name, institution, sample size, or methodology was found anywhere in our sourcing for the finished product.*

*These are brand/retailer marketing claims with no publicly available study data disclosed. Evidence Confidence: Low for the finished-product claims specifically. Climbazole itself, however, has real, separate antifungal research literature behind its general mechanism against Malassezia — that ingredient-level evidence is Moderate-to-Strong; it is the finished product's own unverified marketing language that pulls overall confidence down to Low.

We found no evidence of a reformulation for this specific product, so we are not speculating about one. PAO (period-after-opening) was not disclosed anywhere we could find.

Fungal Acne Safety: Reasoned Likely FA-Safe*. As a rinse-off product with short scalp contact time, FA relevance is inherently lower, and none of the three confirmed marketed actives (Citric Acid, Climbazole, Lactobacillus Ferment) are Malassezia-feeding ingredients — Climbazole is itself an antifungal targeting Malassezia.

*This is a reasoned assessment based on the ingredients we could confirm, not a complete-INCI FA screen, since a full ingredient list was not available for this exact SKU.

Assessment: Not applicable. Pilling is a leave-on layering phenomenon between products staying on skin or hair — a rinse-off shampoo doesn't remain in contact long enough for it to occur.

The one related risk is conditioner residue if it isn't rinsed thoroughly after this shampoo, which can leave hair looking flat or weighed-down rather than "pilled" — rinse conditioner completely and keep it off the scalp itself.

A sudden color shift, separation, or off-smell replacing the product's normal scent signals spoilage or preservative failure, as with any rinse-off surfactant formula.

Mauritius storage note: a standard bathroom shelf is fine for this rinse-off product, but keep the cap tightly closed and avoid prolonged direct sun through a window, which can degrade fragrance components and any actives present over time.

When in doubt about color, smell, or texture change, discard the product rather than risk applying a degraded formula to your scalp.

Patch test: apply a small amount to your inner forearm, wait 24 hours, then behind the ear, wait another 24 hours, before your first full scalp wash — this matters here specifically because we could not confirm a fragrance/allergen breakdown for this exact SKU.

If you react: stop use immediately, and for a few washes use only a fragrance-free, gentle shampoo before considering reintroducing this one or patch testing again.

Emergency stop signals: hives, swelling, blistering, persistent burning, or breathing difficulty — seek emergency care.

1. Using it as your only, every-wash shampoo instead of a periodic reset. 2. Skipping conditioner afterward, since a clarifying wash strips conditioning residue on purpose. 3. Not giving it the full 60-second lather contact time buildup-removal needs. 4. Assuming continued oiliness the next day means the product "isn't working," rather than normal sebum return. 5. Using it on freshly colored hair without accounting for faster color fade.

Overuse threshold: using this at every wash instead of periodically is the main risk factor here — it can push a normal scalp toward dryness and compensatory oiliness rather than genuinely improving buildup control.

Pillow/textile note: in Mauritius humidity, going to bed with fully wet hair leaves a damp pillow environment more hospitable to odor-causing microbes — dry hair mostly before sleeping when you can.

At roughly a coin-size pool per wash (approximately 5-8ml), a 500ml bottle realistically lasts around 60-75 washes at moderate hair length and dosing.

Used periodically (roughly 1-3x/week alongside a regular daily shampoo) rather than at every wash, that puts a bottle at approximately 5-7 months before needing a refill; using it as a daily shampoo instead would deplete it in closer to 2 months and is also the pattern most likely to over-strip a normal scalp.

Plan to reorder a few weeks before you expect the bottle to run out, given Adilsons' processing and delivery timeline (see Delivery and Returns below).

This shampoo is the periodic "reset" step in a scalp-care routine — it removes buildup that a regular shampoo leaves behind, while your daily gentle shampoo and conditioner handle everyday cleansing and moisture.

Compact routine: 1) Wet hair. 2) MOEV Scalp Clarifying Shampoo, massage at the scalp for a full 60 seconds. 3) Rinse fully. 4) Conditioner on mid-lengths/ends. 5) Repeat on your regular gentle shampoo for other washes that week.

If your scalp is naturally oily and tolerates it well: using this up to 2-3x/week in Mauritius' hottest, sweatiest months is reasonable — scale back if you notice tightness.

If your scalp runs dry or sensitive: start at once every 1-2 weeks and always pair with a hydrating conditioner, rather than following a generic "2-3x/week" schedule meant for oilier scalps.

If you live in a hard-water area of Mauritius: an occasional clarifying wash even on a non-oily scalp is genuinely useful to remove mineral buildup that a gentle daily shampoo may not fully lift.

If your scalp is actively irritated or broken from scratching: pause this and every fragranced product until it heals, and use the gentlest wash you have in the meantime.

Stock-true bundle (all verified active with real inventory in our catalog): this shampoo (periodic clarify) + Seapuri Scalpy Bubble Tonic (pre-shampoo deep-cleanse boost) + Medicube Rosemary PDRN Hair & Scalp Conditioner (post-wash hydration).

After purchasing, you will receive our skincare education email series covering this product in depth. The recommendations above are based on formulation synergy with this shampoo, not on margin or stock levels — if a pairing does not exist in our catalog, we say so, and if you already own a product that fills the same role, use what you have first.

If your scalp is more dry-and-sensitive than oily-and-buildup-prone, and you want a gentle formula you can use for regular daily washing rather than a periodic clarifying reset, d'Alba Professional Repairing Scalp Therapy Serum Shampoo 275ml (verified active with real inventory) is a weakly-acidic (brand-stated pH 5.5-6.5), gentler daily-use formula rather than a deep-cleanse one.

Three further verified, in-stock options depending on what you actually need: SOME BY MI Cica Peptide Anti Hair Loss Derma Scalp Shampoo 285ml (a soothing-first, Centella-led daily shampoo for a reactive scalp rather than a buildup-focused one), NINE LESS Root-Biome™ Caffeine Scalp Shampoo (a gentler caffeine-forward everyday shampoo to alternate with a clarifying formula), and the A'pieu 3-Piece Clarifying & pH-Balancing Wash-Day Set (a full multi-step clarifying system if you want more than a standalone shampoo).

Choose MOEV Scalp Clarifying Shampoo over the d'Alba Professional Repairing Scalp Therapy Serum Shampoo if you need a genuinely buildup-focused, periodic deep-cleanse formula rather than a gentle daily wash, and your scalp runs oily or product-laden rather than dry.

Choose MOEV if:

• If your scalp genuinely feels heavy, product-laden, or oily between washes, then a dedicated clarifying formula addresses that more directly than a gentle daily shampoo.
• If you live in a hard-water area and notice dullness or reduced lather from mineral buildup, then a periodic clarifying wash is the more targeted fix.
• If you already have a gentle daily shampoo and want to add a periodic reset step, then this fills that specific role rather than replacing your daily wash.

Don't upgrade to MOEV if:

• If your scalp runs dry or sensitive rather than oily, then d'Alba's gentler, pH-stated daily formula is the safer everyday choice.
• If you want full ingredient transparency before buying, then MOEV's undisclosed full INCI for this SKU is a genuine gap we could not close with available research.
• If you're already using another clarifying or deep-cleanse shampoo you tolerate well, then finish that first rather than switching mid-bottle.
• If your scalp is actively irritated or broken right now, then hold off on any new shampoo, including this one, until it's calm.

If you match two or more of the "choose MOEV" points above and none of the "don't upgrade" points, this shampoo is worth choosing. Otherwise, the alternative above is the safer or more appropriate pick — consistency in a routine beats frequent switching.

This product's primary function is: periodic clarifying/deep-cleanse of scalp buildup, oil, and mineral residue. You do not need this if you already own an unfinished clarifying or deep-cleanse shampoo with a similar buildup-removal role — finish that first.

PAO (period-after-opening) is not disclosed for this specific SKU; rinse-off surfactant shampoos commonly carry a 12-month PAO once opened, though we could not confirm this bottle's exact figure — don't buy a second bottle while an opened one still has meaningful shelf life left.

Stacking assessment: No Benefit if you already use another dedicated clarifying/detox shampoo (same role, redundant); Marginal Benefit if switching from a purely daily gentle shampoo with no periodic reset step; Significant Benefit if you currently have no clarifying step at all and deal with regular buildup, sunscreen residue, or hard-water dullness.

MOEV is a Korean hair-care brand that launched in 2024, built around a K-beauty "skin-first" philosophy applied specifically to the scalp — treating it as an extension of facial skin rather than treating hair in isolation from the skin underneath it. Alongside its signature Annurcatin™ anti-hairfall system (apple extract, biotin, amino acids), MOEV also runs a separate Scalp Clarifying line, of which this 500ml shampoo is the SKU Adilsons currently carries.

Retailer and brand-spotlight sourcing describes the brand's Annurcatin line reaching the top of Olive Young's haircare category ranking and selling over 800,000 units in its first year, alongside a partnership with Korean actress Han Ye-seul as brand ambassador — we are citing these as brand/retailer-reported market signals for the brand overall, not independently audited figures, and not specific to this Scalp Clarifying SKU. We could not confirm from available sourcing whether MOEV manufactures in-house or through a contract manufacturer.

We searched Reddit (r/AsianBeauty, r/SkincareAddiction), Amazon, YesStyle, TikTok, and Hwahae specifically for this exact product. We did not find a dedicated, individually attributable review — with a specific platform, reviewer, and skin/scalp type we could paraphrase — for this exact SKU, and we are saying so plainly rather than inventing one.

What we did find was a general sentiment rollup, aggregated by search engines across scattered retailer and community mentions rather than one identifiable source: reports that the formula "tackles dandruff without causing irritation," produces a "rich lather" from a small amount, and effectively removes oil and buildup. One recurring caveat in that same rollup: reviewers with naturally dry scalps suggested a gentler, more hydrating formula may suit them better than using this one as a daily wash.

Because we cannot attribute that sentiment to specific, quotable individual reviews, treat it as a directional signal rather than verified customer testimony — this is a meaningfully different (and more honest) standard than presenting it as real quoted reviews.

Sustainability: rinse the bottle before recycling per local Mauritian municipal guidelines; no refill program was found in available sourcing.

Is this meant to replace my everyday shampoo? Not ideally — it's formulated as a clarifying, buildup-focused wash. Most scalp types do better alternating it with a gentler daily shampoo rather than using it for every wash.

Will it help with dandruff? If the flaking is oil/Malassezia-related, the Climbazole content gives it a genuine, well-studied antifungal mechanism. If your flaking is actually dryness-driven, a clarifying shampoo can make it worse rather than better — the two causes need different approaches.

How often should I use it? MOEV does not publish a stated frequency for this SKU. Based on general clarifying-shampoo category convention, 1-3x/week alongside a gentle daily shampoo is a reasonable starting point, adjusted down if your scalp feels tight or dry.

Is the full ingredient list available? No — despite checking multiple retailers and ingredient-lookup sites, we could not locate a complete INCI list for this exact SKU. We're stating that plainly rather than guessing at one.

Is it safe during pregnancy? Per our specific ingredient screen (retinoids, salicylic acid above 2%, hydroquinone, chemical UV filters), none of those flagged categories appear in any marketing description or the three confirmed actives we found — but because a full INCI was not available, always confirm with your own doctor rather than relying on this alone.

Clarifying Shampoo

A more thorough shampoo formula designed to remove buildup (oil, styling product, mineral residue) that a regular shampoo leaves behind, typically used periodically rather than daily.

Malassezia

A yeast naturally present on the scalp that, in excess, is linked to flaking and dandruff.

Climbazole

An antifungal ingredient that targets Malassezia to help control flaking.

Acid Mantle

The scalp and skin's naturally slightly acidic protective layer (roughly pH 4.5-5.5).

Postbiotic / Ferment Filtrate

Beneficial metabolites left behind after a fermentation process, rather than live bacteria themselves.

Hard Water Buildup

A film of calcium and magnesium minerals left on hair and scalp by mineral-rich tap water, which can cause dullness and reduced lather.

MFDS Functional Cosmetic

A Korean regulatory category requiring additional government-reviewed testing for a specific claim.

PAO

Period-After-Opening — the shelf life once a product's seal is broken, usually shown as a small jar icon with a number of months.

Impact: Likely Supportive*. The brand markets a "Honey Biotics"/Lactobacillus Ferment component intended to support a balanced scalp microbiome environment alongside the clarifying/antifungal action of Climbazole.

*A ferment filtrate like this is a POSTBIOTIC — beneficial metabolites from fermentation, not live bacteria being applied to the scalp. We could not independently verify this component's exact INCI name or concentration, so treat this as a brand-marketed, not independently confirmed, mechanism.

Hard water interaction: Mauritius tap water hardness varies by region, and hard-water mineral film is one of the specific buildup types a clarifying shampoo like this is designed to remove — in harder-water areas, this product's role goes beyond oily scalps to include restoring lather and shine that mineral deposits otherwise dull.

Store Policies: For the most up-to-date information, please review our Shipping Policy and Refund Policy.

Best for: someone with an oily, buildup-prone scalp, heavy sunscreen/styling-product use, or a hard-water area, who wants a periodic deep-cleanse step to run alongside their regular gentle shampoo rather than replace it.

Key benefits: genuinely purpose-built buildup and oil removal; Climbazole's real, established antifungal mechanism against flake-causing Malassezia; mildly-acidic pH positioning that aims to avoid stripping the acid mantle when used at the right frequency.

Keep in mind: we could not locate a full ingredient list for this exact SKU, which limits how far our fragrance, FA-safety, and microplastic checks could go; it is not designed for daily use, especially on dry or sensitive scalps; and no MOEV-published frequency guidance exists, so the 1-3x/week cadence here is category convention, not a brand claim.
