Sensitive or irritated scalp

The trend toward “skinification” treats the scalp like facial skin - with a focus on soothing, balancing, and protecting. Stress, environmental pollution, and styling can cause irritation and dryness. Consumers want gentle, dermatologically inspired formulations that strengthen the skin barrier and support the microbiome. Long-term scalp health is crucial for strong hair, which is why active ingredients such as glycyrrhizinate and hyaluronic acid are in high demand. They promote regeneration and preserve the vitality of the scalp.
