I have a sensitive scalp — what should I watch for?

If your scalp is sensitive or reactive, treat the first few washes as a patch test: use a small amount, rinse thoroughly, and wait 24 hours before the next wash. The formula omits parabens and silicones, which reduces common irritants, but any surfactant — even mild ones — can trigger a reaction in highly reactive skin. Apply only to the scalp, not the face or body, and keep eyes closed during rinsing; if contact occurs, flush with plenty of water. Discontinue immediately if you notice persistent redness, itching, burning, or flaking that wasn't there before. This product is for external cosmetic cleansing only and is not intended to treat scalp conditions such as dermatitis, psoriasis, or seborrheic eczema. If you have a diagnosed scalp condition, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or use medicated scalp treatments, consult a dermatologist or pharmacist before adding a new shampoo to your routine. Store the bottle closed, away from direct heat and sunlight, and use within 12 months of opening for best performance.
