Scalp Moisture Shampoo
SheaMoisture
🔬 Under the Microscope
⭐⭐⭐½☆ (3.5/5)
This is a scalp-first shampoo meant to gently cleanse while boosting scalp health. With ingredients like rosemary, gotu kola, and niacinamide, it targets inflammation, dryness, and irritation. It’s not the most moisturizing for strands themselves, so it shines brightest when paired with a nourishing conditioner — especially for medium-to-tight curls.
💧 Health, Benefits & Quality Ratings
Health ⭐⭐⭐☆ (3/5)
Packed with scalp-loving actives, but includes polyquaterniums, synthetic emollients, and fragrance that may not work for the most ingredient-conscious. Menthol may also be too stimulating for sensitive scalps.
Benefits ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5)
Helps reduce scalp flakiness, itch, and irritation. Contains a rare combo of niacinamide, gotu kola, and rosemary — all known for improving circulation and skin barrier health. Plus aloe and shea for lightweight comfort.
Quality ⭐⭐⭐½☆ (3.5/5)
Effective and thoughtfully designed for scalp needs, especially for those with dryness or buildup. Not ultra-clean, but performs well for targeted care.
