How does this shampoo clear pollution and build-up without drying the scalp?

• Non-drying formulation maintains surface hydration.
• Free of SLS/SLES, silicones and mineral oil to avoid residue.

• Bright lemon and orange opening notes for an energizing start.
• Neroli adds a subtle floral warmth to the scent profile.
• A touch of mint provides a cooling finish on the scalp.

How should I use it as part of a scalp care routine?
