GROWUS Sea Salt Scalp Exfoliator Scrub — 8.8 oz with Salicylic Acid & Niacinamide for Oily, Itchy Roots, Deep Cleansing

GROWUS Sea Salt Scalp Exfoliator Scrub is a mineral-rich scalp scrub that gently exfoliates, removes buildup, and helps restore balance to oily, itchy, or greasy roots.

Built around natural sea salt and a targeted active blend including salicylic acid, niacinamide, and dexpanthenol, this exfoliator is formulated to lift away product residue and environmental grime while delivering hydration from a seaweed complex. Use it once or twice weekly in place of shampoo to refresh the scalp, improve manageability, and create a cleaner base for styling and treatments. The formula is free from parabens and sulfates and comes in FSC-certified sustainable packaging.

How does this scalp scrub remove buildup without stripping hair?

The scrub leverages mineral sea salt crystals to provide gentle physical exfoliation while salicylic acid offers complementary chemical exfoliation to dissolve excess oils and debris. Dexpanthenol and the seaweed complex help retain moisture so the scalp and hair don’t feel overly dry after rinsing. Together these actives clean effectively yet maintain hair softness for easier styling.

• Sea salt crystals gently slough off dead skin and product residue.
• Salicylic acid penetrates follicles to help lift excess oil and impurities.
• Dexpanthenol (provitamin B5) supports moisture retention and smoother strands.
• Seaweed complex restores hydration and mineral nourishment.

When and how should I use the exfoliator for best results?

Use the scrub once or twice a week instead of your regular shampoo for optimal balance—more frequently may dry sensitive scalps. Apply to wet hair, massage gently over the scalp to activate both crystals and lather, then add a little water to increase foam and rinse thoroughly. Follow with your normal conditioner focusing on mid-lengths and ends if needed.

• Best used on wet hair, once or twice weekly.
• Massage gently; add water to build lather during use.
• Rinse fully, then condition mid-lengths and ends as usual.
• Avoid daily use to prevent over-exfoliation on sensitive scalps.

Will this help with oily, itchy, or greasy roots?

The combined physical and chemical exfoliation targets the common causes of oily, itchy, or greasy roots by removing trapped sebum and residue that can weigh hair down or irritate the skin. Niacinamide helps support the scalp’s barrier and overall comfort, while hydrating ingredients prevent the sensation of tightness after cleansing. Results depend on individual scalp condition and routine consistency.

• Removes excess oil and styling buildup that causes greasiness.
• Soothes and supports scalp barrier with niacinamide and dexpanthenol.
• Hydrating seaweed complex prevents post-wash dryness.
• Visible refresh after the first use; longer-term balance with regular use.

Is the formula safe and eco-conscious?

GROWUS formulates this scrub without parabens and sulfates and packages it in FSC-certified materials to reduce environmental impact. The ingredient selection focuses on proven, hair-friendly actives and sea-derived components rather than harsh surfactants. Patch-testing is recommended for those with very sensitive skin or known allergies.

• Free from parabens and sulfates for milder cleansing.
• FSC packaging supports sustainable forestry practices.
• Contains targeted actives (salicylic acid, niacinamide) at cosmetic concentrations.
• Perform a small patch test if you have sensitive or reactive skin.
