Dealing with a scalp that feels oily, itchy, or flaky can be frustrating, especially in the heat and humidity of Mauritius. The AROMATICA Rosemary Scalp Scaling Shampoo is a clarifying, yet gentle, exfoliating shampoo designed to deeply cleanse the scalp, removing stubborn dead skin cells and excess oil to restore balance and comfort.

If your scalp often feels greasy, weighed down, or you're noticing flakes and buildup, this shampoo offers a solution. It uses gentle plant-derived cleansers and BHA (Salicylic Acid) to purify follicles without the harsh stripping effect of traditional clarifying shampoos. Expect a refreshed, clean-feeling scalp and lighter, bouncier hair from the roots.

• Scalp Type: Best for Oily, Combination-to-Oily, and Flaky Scalps.
• Key Benefits: Deeply cleanses scalp buildup, reduces excess oil, alleviates itchiness and flakes, nourishes hair roots. (Ingredient Rationale)
• Texture: A clear, moderately thick gel that lathers well.
• Scent: Fresh, herbal scent of rosemary and cedarwood.

1. Wet Hair & Scalp: Thoroughly saturate your hair and scalp with lukewarm water.
2. Lather & Massage [THIS PRODUCT]: Apply a coin-sized amount to your scalp. Massage gently for 1-2 minutes, focusing on the roots to create a lather.
3. Rinse & Condition: Rinse thoroughly. Follow up with your favorite conditioner on the mid-lengths and ends of your hair to restore moisture.

Note: Already own a clarifying shampoo? Finish that first to avoid waste (substitute, don’t stack).

• Amount: A coin-sized amount (approximately 2-3 pumps) is sufficient for most hair lengths.
• Apply to: Focus application directly on the scalp. The lather will cleanse the lengths of your hair as you rinse.
• Method: Lather the shampoo in your palms before applying. Use your fingertips (not nails) to gently massage the scalp in circular motions. For a deeper cleanse, let the lather sit on the scalp for 1-3 minutes to allow the active ingredients to work.
• Frequency: Start by using it 2-3 times per week. If you have a very oily scalp, you can increase to daily use. For normal or dry scalps, use it once a week as a deep clarifying treatment.

If-This / Then-That:

• Very oily scalp? You can likely use this as your daily shampoo.
• Dry, flaky scalp? Use this 1-2 times a week and alternate with a more hydrating, gentle shampoo. Always follow with a rich conditioner or hair mask.
• Color-treated hair? Scaling shampoos can sometimes hasten color fading. Use it less frequently (e.g., once a week) to clarify without stripping your color.
• Fine hair? This shampoo is excellent for removing buildup that weighs hair down, helping to restore volume at the roots.

Use this shampoo as your primary clarifying step. It's gentle enough for frequent use but potent enough that you can alternate it with other treatments.

Example week for an oily, flaky scalp:

• Mon/Wed/Fri: Use AROMATICA Rosemary Scalp Scaling Shampoo, followed by a lightweight conditioner.
• Tue/Thu/Sat: Use a simple hydrating shampoo and conditioner.
• Sun: Use the AROMATICA shampoo, followed by a deep conditioning hair mask on your hair lengths for 10-15 minutes.

Mauritius note: In our humid climate, scalp buildup happens faster. Using a scaling shampoo like this 2-3 times a week is ideal for keeping follicles clean and preventing the clogged pores that can contribute to hair fall.

• Immediate: After the first wash, your scalp will feel deeply cleansed, cool, and refreshed. Hair will feel lighter at the roots.
• 2–4 Weeks: With consistent use (2-3 times per week), you should notice a significant reduction in scalp oiliness, itchiness, and visible flakes.
• 4–8+ Weeks: Your scalp's oil production may feel more balanced. A healthier scalp environment can contribute to stronger hair growth and less hair fall associated with clogged follicles.

Why use a scaling shampoo, not a harsh scrub?
Vigorous scalp scrubs with large, rough particles (like salt or sugar) can create micro-tears on the scalp, leading to irritation and inflammation. A gentle chemical exfoliant like Salicylic Acid (BHA) in this shampoo dissolves buildup within the pore lining without abrasive friction, making it a safer choice for clarifying the scalp.

Why this, not a daily anti-dandruff shampoo?
Many strong anti-dandruff shampoos are formulated with potent antifungal agents that can be drying with daily use if your issue is simply product buildup, not a fungal condition. This rosemary shampoo focuses on gently removing dead skin and sebum, balancing the scalp without the harshness of a medicated treatment, making it ideal for managing non-fungal flakiness and oil.

• Works Well With:
  • Hydrating Conditioners & Hair Masks: Essential for replenishing moisture to the hair shaft after the scalp has been clarified.
  • Scalp Tonics & Serums: A clean scalp absorbs treatments better. Applying a root-enhancing or soothing tonic after this shampoo can boost its effectiveness.
  • Gentle, hydrating shampoos: Perfect for alternating on days you don't use this scaling shampoo.
• Use Carefully With:
  • Color-Treated Hair: As a clarifying product, it may reduce the longevity of hair color. It is still usable, but perhaps limit use to once a week.
  • Keratin or Chemical Straightening Treatments: This shampoo is sulfate-free, which is good, but any deep cleansing product can potentially shorten the life of a chemical treatment. Use less frequently to preserve your treatment.

• Oily Scalp: Excellent. This is the ideal user. It effectively removes excess sebum and keeps the scalp feeling fresh for longer.
• Flaky/Dandruff-Prone Scalp: Very suitable for flakes caused by oil and dead skin buildup. For severe, persistent dandruff, you may need a medicated shampoo, but this is a great maintenance option.
• Normal Scalp: Good for a weekly "reset" to remove product buildup from gels, sprays, or dry shampoo.
• Dry Scalp: Use with caution. It may be too clarifying for a scalp that doesn't produce much oil. If you use it, limit it to once every 1-2 weeks and follow with a very intensive hair mask.
• Sensitive Scalp: Generally gentle, but it does contain essential oils and Salicylic Acid. A patch test is recommended.

• Excess Scalp Sebum (Oily Scalp)
• Product & Dead Skin Buildup
• Flakes & Mild Dandruff
• Itchy Scalp (associated with oiliness)
• Clogged Hair Follicles
• Hair Lacking Volume at the Roots

This shampoo is an excellent match for our tropical climate.

• Drier Winter: You may find you need to use it less frequently, perhaps 2-3 times a week, alternating with a more hydrating shampoo to avoid potential dryness.

Here’s a summary of genuine, independent user feedback from platforms like Reddit's r/AsianBeauty. (Note: Anecdotal sentiment; individual results vary.)

"I struggle with excessive oil/sebum production... and this shampoo has done an amazing job managing it. I have noticed I lose a lot less hair in the shower... My hair has never been this smooth, nice, not oily, or bouncy yet not frizzy in my life. I think I found my holy grail..."
- Reddit, r/AsianBeauty review (2024-06)

"I use the shampoo, conditioner and root enhancer spray. I've gone through 2 bottles of each... It suits my oily hair and leaves it light and bouncy but if your hair is on the drier side, it may be overly stripping. Sometimes I do a deep conditioning to offset this."
- Reddit, r/AsianBeauty review (2023-11)

Fair Caveat: Some users find the herbal scent strong, and those with very dry or color-treated hair mention it can be slightly stripping if used too often. Most agree that following up with a good conditioner resolves any dryness on the hair lengths. "It smelt nice but my hair felt dry and I noticed I had a lot of hair loss so i didn't finish the bottles." - Reddit, r/AsianBeauty review (2023-09)

Is this shampoo safe for color-treated hair?

It is sulfate-free, which is beneficial for color-treated hair. However, because it is a clarifying and exfoliating shampoo, it may cause color to fade slightly faster than a regular shampoo. We recommend using it less frequently (1-2 times a week) to maintain both a clean scalp and vibrant color.

Can I use this shampoo every day?

If your scalp is very oily, daily use is generally fine. For normal to combination scalps, using it 2-4 times a week is ideal to avoid potential dryness. If your scalp is dry, limit use to once a week as a deep cleansing treatment.

Does this shampoo help with hair loss?

This shampoo is not a direct treatment for hair loss (alopecia). However, it creates a healthy scalp environment by removing buildup and oil that can clog follicles. A clean, balanced scalp is essential for healthy hair growth, so it can help reduce hair fall associated with poor scalp health.

Will the Salicylic Acid (BHA) be harsh on my scalp?

The formula uses a gentle concentration of Salicylic Acid combined with many soothing and hydrating botanical extracts (like rosemary and aloe) to ensure it clarifies effectively without being harsh or stripping for most people.

• Best For: Individuals with oily, combination, or flaky scalps seeking a deep yet gentle cleanse to manage oil and remove buildup.
• Key Benefits: Effectively purifies the scalp, reduces flakes and excess oil, and leaves hair feeling light and refreshed at the root with a pleasant, natural scent.
• Keep in Mind: May be too clarifying for very dry scalps. Those with color-treated hair should use it less frequently to preserve color. Always pair with a conditioner on the hair lengths.
