How does this shampoo address dandruff and dry scalp?

The active ingredient, 1% pyrithione zinc, works at the scalp level to help control flaking and scalp oil when used regularly. The simplified formula removes buildup while preserving moisture, making it suitable for dry scalp routines. It’s dermatologist-verified for safety and effectiveness so you can use it as part of a regular care regimen.

• Contains 1% zinc pyrithione for proven dandruff control

What ingredients are left out and why does that matter?

BARE Soothing Hydration avoids sulfated surfactants, silicones, and dyes to reduce potential irritation and simplify the hair-care routine. With only nine total ingredients, it minimizes additives while keeping the active dandruff-fighting component. This clean approach is helpful for people who want fewer, more purposeful ingredients in their shampoo.

• Sulfate-free formula to reduce stripping of natural oils

How does the ECOBOTTLE packaging improve sustainability?

The bottle is designed to use 45% less plastic compared with a 370 mL Head & Shoulders bottle, making it lighter and easier to squeeze. The updated packaging helps reduce single-use plastic footprint while remaining functional for daily use. Its rollable design helps you access the last portions of shampoo with less waste.

• 45% less plastic per mL versus the 370 mL bottle

What will it feel and smell like after use?
