Salicylic acid's skin-renewing properties and its ability to enhance the skin's tone and texture make it a popular ingredient in skincare, and one of the newest releases from The Inkey List introduces salicylic acid for hair. The Salicylic Acid Exfoliating Scalp Scrub harnesses the power of the chemical exfoliant to address flaking, dandruff and the removal of built-up product. Overall, the product helps to support and balance the microbiome of the scalp for a healthier head of hair. Unlike many manual scalp scrubs, this one is best used as a pre-shampoo treatment on a wet or dry scalp.
While The Inkey List has its own Salicylic Acid Toner as part of its skincare range, this new hair-specific product speaks to the skinification of haircare.
