I have a sensitive scalp — is this shampoo likely to irritate?

The surfactant base is designed to be gentle on the hydrolipidic film, which helps many people with reactive scalps tolerate it well. However, "sensitive" is individual: fragrance, preservatives or specific plant extracts can still trigger a reaction even in a mild formula. The only reliable way to know is to read the complete INCI list printed on your bottle — ingredients can vary slightly between batches or markets. Before the first full wash, you can do a patch test: apply a pea-sized amount behind the ear or on the inner forearm, leave for a few minutes, rinse, and wait 24 hours. If you experience itching, redness or flaking during use, discontinue immediately. Avoid contact with eyes; if it happens, rinse thoroughly with water. This shampoo is for external cosmetic use only and is not intended to treat scalp conditions like dermatitis or psoriasis — consult a dermatologist if you have a diagnosed scalp issue.
