The serum contains several ingredients that are commonly chosen for scalp comfort: aloe vera juice for a soothing feel, licorice extract to support comfort in irritated-looking skin, and glycerin plus sodium hyaluronate to help reduce the feeling of dryness and tightness. These features can be useful when flakes are related to a dry scalp.
It also includes tea tree oil, which helps maintain a cleaner-feeling scalp environment, and menthol, which provides a cooling sensation that may make itching feel less bothersome. However, both can be noticeable on very sensitive or compromised skin. If you tend to react to essential oils, cooling ingredients or fragranced scalp products, patch testing is a sensible first step.
Flaking can have different causes, including dryness, product build-up or scalp conditions that need specific care. If flakes are oily, thick, painful, accompanied by strong redness, or do not improve with gentle routine changes, choose professional advice rather than relying only on cosmetic scalp care.
