Scalp Balance

Clarifying Shampoo Bar | Oily Scalp & Buildup-Prone Hair | 3 oz (85 g)

When your roots become oily too quickly or your hair starts feeling weighed down by buildup, a thoroughly clean scalp can make all the difference.

Scalp Balance is a clarifying shampoo bar for oily scalps and buildup-prone hair that washes away excess oil and everyday residue, leaving your scalp feeling refreshed and your hair clean, light, and full of natural movement. Its satisfying lather provides a thorough cleanse without the excessively dry or stripped feeling sometimes associated with clarifying shampoos.

At the heart of Scalp Balance are two distinctive mineral clays: kaolin and glacial clay. Kaolin is valued for its ability to absorb surface oil, while glacial clay adds another carefully selected mineral element to the formula. Together, they complement the cleansing ingredients that help lift away the buildup that can leave hair looking flat and feeling heavy.

Rosemary and manuka essential oils bring a distinctive botanical character to the formula, while panthenol (vitamin B5), a honey-derived conditioning ingredient, meadowfoam seed oil, and hydrolyzed rice protein help maintain softness and manageability.

We carefully refined the balance of effective cleansing and lightweight conditioning to create a clarifying shampoo that leaves hair feeling genuinely clean without sacrificing comfort. Unlike traditional soap-based bars, Scalp Balance is formulated specifically for hair, with a pH designed to be compatible with its needs.

Finished with individually created marbling and our distinctive Forest Apothecary fragrance, Scalp Balance brings a fresh, beautifully considered experience to an everyday essential.

Best For

Oily scalps, roots that become greasy quickly, and hair prone to buildup from styling products or everyday exposure. Also a thoughtful choice when hair needs a more thorough cleanse than your usual shampoo provides.

Fragrance | Forest Apothecary

Created and blended by us, Forest Apothecary brings together fresh evergreen notes, smooth woods, and gentle aromatic warmth. Crisp and refreshing, with a distinctive forest character that feels clean, balanced, and quietly inviting.

Handcrafted with Care

Each Scalp Balance shampoo bar is handcrafted in small batches and finished with individually created marbling. Subtle variations in color and pattern are a natural part of the process, making every bar distinctive.

Our concentrated shampoo bars offer a thoughtful alternative to conventional liquid shampoos. Compact and designed to last, they eliminate the need for a plastic shampoo bottle without compromising the experience of washing your hair.

How to Use

Wet your hair and the shampoo bar thoroughly. Gently glide the bar over your wet scalp a few times, or work it between your hands to create a lather. Massage your scalp with your fingertips, concentrating on the roots, then rinse thoroughly.

Follow with our Weightless Hydration Conditioner Bar, applying primarily to the mid-lengths and ends for additional softness without weighing down the roots.

Allow the shampoo bar to dry between uses to help extend its life.
