- Description
- Full ingredients
- How to use
A physician-approved clarifying cleanse for your scalp. Use it at the roots once a week or every other week to clear oil, sweat and product residue, and wash with your regular shampoo in between.
- Clears buildup at the roots: lifts excess oil, sweat, product residue and dead skin flakes.
- Gentle, sulfate-free cleansers: a thorough clean without the squeaky, stripped feel.
- Comforts a dry, tight-feeling scalp: with aloe leaf juice.
- A cool, fresh feel: peppermint and rosemary oils, no added fragrance.
- Two minutes, once a week or every other week: massage in, leave on, rinse.
Why the scalp comes first
Every strand starts at the root. Start there.
Your scalp makes a natural oil called sebum. Day by day it mixes with sweat, styling products and dead skin cells and settles where your hair begins. A quick wash through the lengths often leaves it behind.
-
Sebum
The natural oil your scalp makes to protect skin and hair. Some is healthy; too much feels heavy.
-
Sweat
Workouts, warm days and hats all add moisture and salt at the roots.
-
Product residue
Dry shampoo, styling products and conditioner that land on the scalp instead of the strands.
-
Dead skin cells
Your scalp renews its surface constantly. Old cells can collect and show up as flakes.
Signs your scalp could use a reset
- Roots look oily by day two
- Hair falls flat at the crown
- Your scalp feels itchy, tight or coated
- You use dry shampoo most days
Why it matters for your routine
A clean scalp is the starting point for everything else you do. Serums and scalp treatments reach your skin, not the layer sitting on top of it, and your hair feels lighter from the roots.

How to use
Two minutes, at the roots.
Root Cleanse is made for your scalp, not your lengths. Use it once a week or every other week as a reset, and your regular shampoo the rest of the time.
-
01
Wet hair and scalp
Rinse with warm water until your scalp is fully wet, not just your hair.
-
02
Apply to the scalp
Part your hair in sections and apply directly at the roots, front to back.
-
03
Massage and wait
Work it in with your fingertips or a scalp brush, then leave it on for two minutes.
-
04
Lengths, then rinse
Want more lather? Add your regular shampoo to the lengths, work it down the strands, then rinse well.
The cool tingle is the peppermint oil. If your scalp feels irritated, rinse and stop using. For external use only; avoid contact with eyes.
