Biolage Scalp Sync Clarifying Shampoo — Oily Scalp & Buildup Remover, Fermented Tea + Glycolic Acid, Vegan

This clarifying formula pairs a fermented tea complex with a filtered glycolic acid to target scalp buildup without leaving strands dry or brittle. Designed to eliminate product residue, dead skin cells, and heavy oils, it restores a clean scalp foundation so hair looks fuller, feels lighter, and responds better to styling. The vegan, paraben-free composition is suitable for color-treated hair and works best as part of a targeted scalp-care routine.

How does this shampoo remove buildup without overdrying?

The formula uses micro-dosed glycolic acid alongside a fermented tea blend to loosen and lift residue from the scalp while maintaining hydration. This precision dosing helps clear oils and deposits but avoids stripping natural lipids that keep hair soft and manageable.

• Micro-dosed glycolic acid exfoliates gently.
• Fermented tea supports balanced moisture retention.
• Surfactants chosen to cleanse without harsh drying.

Will it work on oily or product-heavy scalps?

Yes — it’s formulated to target excess sebum and the residue left by styling products, leaving the scalp feeling refreshed and less weighed down. Regular use helps reduce visible oiliness and improves the scalp environment for healthier-looking hair.

• Removes excess sebum and styling product buildup.
• Promotes a cleaner base for conditioners and treatments.
• Helps hair regain natural volume and bounce.

Can I use this shampoo on color-treated or sensitive hair?

Biolage crafted this shampoo to be safe for color-treated hair and to minimize irritation risk by avoiding harsh additives like parabens, mineral oils, silicones, and artificial colorants. If you have a very reactive scalp, patch testing or alternating with milder cleansers is a cautious approach.

• Vegan and free from parabens, silicones, and mineral oil.
• Compatible with color-treated hair when used as directed.
• Gentle exfoliation suitable for most scalps; monitor sensitivity.

How should I add this into my haircare routine?

Use the clarifying shampoo as your primary cleansing step when your scalp feels oily or product-laden — typically once or twice weekly depending on hair type and styling frequency. For balanced results, follow with a conditioner or a targeted scalp concentrate from the Scalp Sync line.

• Apply to wet hair, lather, then rinse thoroughly.
• Use with Scalp Sync Purifying Scalp Concentrate for intensive care.
• Alternate with a mild daily shampoo if needed for maintenance.

Who is this for: Biolage Scalp Sync Clarifying Shampoo is aimed at anyone dealing with oily scalps, frequent product buildup, or flat hair that needs freshening and lift. It fits well into routines for color-treated hair and suits people seeking vegan, paraben-free formulas that cleanse deeply without overdrying.
