ChungMiJung Itchy Scalp Kelp Shampoo for Sensitive Scalp — 16.9 fl oz, Sulfate-Free Hydrating Formula

CHUNGMIJUNG Itchy Scalp Shampoo is a sulfate-free Korean kelp (Laminaria Japonica) formula designed to gently cleanse and hydrate sensitive, dry, or itchy scalps while leaving hair soft and manageable.

This shampoo blends a concentrated Laminaria Japonica extract with a mild coconut-derived cleansing system and a mix of 13 plant-based botanicals to support scalp comfort and everyday hair cleanliness. Developed and made in Korea, the dermatologically-tested formulation focuses on gentle removal of sebum and buildup without stripping natural moisture, making it suitable for frequent use on color-treated, fine, or family hair.

How does this shampoo help an itchy, sensitive scalp?

The formula centers on Laminaria Japonica (kelp) at a measured concentration to help maintain a balanced scalp environment while delivering light hydration. It avoids harsh sulfates and uses milder surfactants to reduce irritation risk during cleansing.

• Kelp extract (3,930 ppm) to condition the scalp surface
• Mild coconut-derived surfactants that remove oil gently
• Dermatologically-tested base to minimize irritation potential

Will this strip color or leave hair heavy?

The lightweight formulation is crafted to avoid residue and heavy silicones, so it cleans without weighing hair down. That makes it appropriate for color-treated and fine hair where preserving tone and volume matters.

• Silicone-free and paraben-free formulation
• Balanced cleansing for oily root and dry lengths
• Rinse-clean texture that supports lift and softness

What natural botanicals are included and why do they matter?

Alongside kelp, the shampoo contains Centella Asiatica, mung bean seed extract, burdock root, silk amino acids, and eight additional Korean herbal extracts to support scalp comfort and strand resilience. These botanicals are selected for soothing, conditioning, and strengthening qualities without heavy conditioning buildup.

• Centella Asiatica for calming support
• Mung Bean and burdock root for nourishment
• Silk amino acids to help maintain hair texture and manageability

How should I use this as part of a complete scalp routine?

For best results, use this shampoo as the cleansing step in a multi-product kelp scalp routine: shampoo first, follow with a kelp hair treatment conditioner, and finish with a kelp scalp essence spray on dry or damp scalp as needed. Regular, gentle use helps maintain a balanced scalp without over-cleansing.

• Massage onto wet hair, lather, then rinse thoroughly
• Follow with ChungMiJung Kelp Hair Treatment Conditioner
• Use Kelp Scalp Essence Spray between washes for targeted comfort

Who is this for? This CHUNGMIJUNG kelp shampoo is aimed at people seeking a gentle, plant-forward cleansing option for itchy or sensitive scalps: those with dry scalps, oily roots with dry lengths, color-treated or fine hair, and families looking for a mild daily shampoo. It is also suitable for anyone preferring sulfate-free, dermatologically-tested Korean hair care that leans on botanical extracts rather than heavy silicones or parabens.
